How long are the screws in Bullet CCTV camera housing?

The records range from 10 to 40 mm depending on the position, so match each screw to its own hole.

What is the thread pitch of an M5 screw?

0.8 mm (coarse), which is the standard pitch for M5 machine screws; a 0.5 mm fine pitch exists but is uncommon. The tap drill is 4.2 mm and the normal clearance hole is 5.5 mm.

What screwdriver do I need for Bullet CCTV camera housing?

The source lists a Hex socket (Allen) drive. Standard M5 heads otherwise take PH2 (Phillips) or T25 (Torx), or a 4 mm hex key.

Can I use an imperial screw instead of M5?

No. Imperial look-alike: #10-32 (4.83 mm) — the other common rack thread; check before mixing. Use a true M5 screw so it does not cross-thread or strip the hole.

How to check the screw before you buy

For a wall or arm mount, the screw has to engage the threaded insert by several turns but must not bottom out, so measure the insert depth and add the thickness of the bracket and any spacers.
Diameter: across the threads an M5 screw measures about 5 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). If yours measures noticeably more or less, it is a different thread.
Pitch: 0.8 mm from one thread crest to the next (12.5 crests per centimetre). A thread pitch gauge or the pitch-gauge tool settles it in seconds.
Length: for socket cap screws, measure from under the head to the tip (countersunk heads are the exception: they are measured overall).
The records span 10–40 mm, which means different positions take different lengths — match each hole to its own screw.
Driver: the source names a Hex socket (Allen) drive. For comparison, standard M5 heads take PH2 (Phillips) or T25 (Torx), or a 4 mm hex key.
Tightening: no device-specific torque is published in these records. The site's general figure for M5 is about 4.0-6.0 N·m into metal threads and 1.5-2.5 N·m into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.

Common mix-ups with M5

Carbon bosses strip easily: 2-4 Nm torque and the right length so the bolt doesn't bottom out.
The 'GoPro thread' is M5-0.8, a de facto standard on third-party mounts, and is not the imperial 1/4-20 tripod thread.
