Hello and welcome to the forum

The Doorbell comes with a normal Philip head screw and a security screw when you buy the doorbell and comes with the double ended driver one side for normal Philip screw and one for the Security Screw.

Thank you.

Oops maybe I missed the security screw in the box. I will check the box again to confirm.

Thanks.

Unfortunately I seem to be missing that security screw. Where can I purchase a replacement?

Thank you.

I am not sure that there are any around however you might contact Amcrest maybe they have one from a test unit they could send you as I am not sure they have any for sale..

What I would do personally is take the screw that is there now to a Auto Part Store or if your in an area that has a Screw Warehouse they might carry one or have ability to tell you where to find one. It has been a while since I have been to my West Coast home but Used to use Tacoma Screw to buy small and different screws that one don't normally stock.. I mention Auto Parts because when I bought a Replace from my local builder supply it wasn't rated for outdoors and rust formed they told me that best bet local was Auto Parts because they offer many products that can and will get wet so offing good outdoor options..

To be honest I would send you one of mine seeing if someone was going to take my camera they are not going to waste time trying to take out a screw they will pry it off.. So I just use the normal Phillips bit

Sure, I will contact Amcrest.

Going to measure the specs and see if I can get one on eBay or Etsy.

They can take the camera but I am going to make it as difficult as I can to just rip it off. Like replacing the Amcrest mounting bracket with a custom steel bracket mounted on a 4x4 with 2-1/2” star head screws. It’s the principle of the thing.
