Dimensions for plastic anchors that are included with outdoor mount

[sgardner661]

I recently purchased the Arlo Pro and the Outdoor Mount. I want to mount it via the plastic anchors that were included with the outdoor mount. I read on another page on the forums that the size of the pilot holes should be "very slightly smaller than the biggest diameter of the shaft of the anchors."

I want ensure that the mount is as secure as possible, can you provide the dimensions of the plastic anchors that came included with the outdoor mount?

The inserts are really for drywall. If the hourse is wood just use "long enough" wood screws.

That works, I can pick up some long wood screws.

Do you know the diameter of the screws that came with the mount? Want to make sure I get the same diameter size for the wood screws.

I used 2" or 3" exterior screws, the ones with a very coarse pitch. They generally come in boxes of many. You could take the mount to the store to find ones that suit your desires.
