man its the same type of bit used for all the vandal proof domes. you can find them everywhere. ill give you a word of advice. do not use a powered drill when screwing those things on because you will break the screw and strip the inside before you even know what happeaned. made that mistake once

They should have been in the box! In a little plastic bag.

Never had one missing. Got quite a few of them now

You just need to get a "Anti Tamper Torx set", comes in handy for all those things you should not be taking appart

Use a small flat blade screwdriver and it will work...just insert and you should have enough torque to turn it.

As l said l bought them used,l have a bit similar looking to the screw in my toolset but doesnt look as though it will go over the centre piece l will try later on,and thanks for the tips will try the flat head if all else fails!!

Small flat like he said .. also, those star shaped screws are the ones that come with Asia manufactured Domes, the North American Manufacturers use different Screws, or change them before resale. All OEM resellers should have one they can sell you, or check the local hardware store.

You need a Hollow Star Bit.

 

I don't know the size off hand, but that is the correct bit you need.

 

Hollow Star Bits: T-8H, T-10H, T-15H, T-20H, T-25H, T-27H, T-30H, T-35H, T-40H

Do what I do, if you can't find a bit for them, just get a metal drill bit and drill the damm thing out!!

Check your local hardware store for the bits. They should have them.

 

Bring one of the cameras with you to match up to the bit you need or buy a small set.
