Product Description
This is a small wood screw, not a CCTV part — but it's exactly the kind of fixing many installers reach for when mounting camera brackets, junction boxes or cable clips to timber trim, fascias or stud walls.
What it is
The TIMCO Velocity is a 3.5 × 12mm screw — 3.5mm is the shank diameter, 12mm the length. That short length suits shallow fixings such as hinges, fittings, brackets and light fixtures rather than deep structural work.
Key details
- Countersunk head — sits flush with the surface once driven in, so a bracket face isn't left standing proud.
- Pozi drive — a cross-shaped recess designed to reduce the driver bit slipping out (cam-out) compared with a plain Phillips head.
- Yellow zinc plated steel — gives corrosion resistance suited to interior use.
- Material — designed for timber and chipboard.
Where it fits an install
Because it's short and rated for wood-based materials, this size is better matched to fixing small accessories — a camera mounting plate to a wooden fascia board, for example — than to masonry or heavy-duty external brackets, which need a different fixing entirely.
Before you buy
Check the surface you're fixing into is timber or chipboard, and that a 12mm length gives enough grip for the thickness of the item being mounted.

What does the Pozi drive mean?
