Dahua IP Camera Missing Screws

[kid_]

Greetings...
Im setting up my first system and bought three DH-IPC-HDW3641EM-S-S2 cameras and NVR4104HS-P-4KS2/L with 2 TB HDD for 350AUD.
They are used but in great condition. Not sure whether it is a good deal or not but the cameras came with no screws or any installation tools.
Just wanted to know whether you guys know which size of screws they need and where to buy them.

I think it depends entirely on what you will be mounting the cameras to.
Into wood / into brick / into plastic fascia etc would need different types and sizes.
Check out your local hardware store, you'll be spoiled for choice.

this screw is for the camera body adjustment. It is missing/broken?

Absolutely depends on this.

Edit: having said that, I'm guessing you're from Australia, so you'll find whatever you need at Bunnings.
As soon as you tell us what you're mounting to we can tell you what to get.

+1 to all the above replies AND...

Note page 2 of the PDF you linked; the circular junction box PFA-130E or the wall bracket PFB-204W are the 2 most popular methods for mounting and both are available from Andy, @EMPIRETECANDY . There are different numbered boxes / mounts for different cams, it's not a one-box-fits-all solution, unfortunately.

Both mounts allow protection of the cam's pigtail from direct exposure to the elements. Test the connection first then weatherproof it as here.

And welcome to IPCT, mate!

That lock screw no need to use huge strenth, sometims the housing also broken, have to replace the housing and the lock screw.

If it's the lock screw that's missing, it is #10-32 x 3/8"

I'm pretty confident that every single screw on these cameras will be metric. If you use a 10/32 screw you'll be rethreading the housing. My best guess from measuring the lock screw is that it's an M5.

Just judging from the image that the OP posted - it's the screws for mounting the base that the question was about.
If it was the lock screw, that would have been the image.
We'll presumably find out when the OP re-visits the forum ...

If it was the lock screw, that would have been the image.

more than that, the camera appears to be assembled.
If the lock screw was missing the camera would probably be in pieces.

Pretty sure they just need mounting screws and possibly an Allen key.

Send me the cam and I'll figure this out. You can use my PO box at a UPS store.

Anyway assuming you'll want to mount them on your eaves like most people, you'll probably want to get some of these.
I've had great success with them. Just use the screws that come with them.
