I have spoken at length to Optelec in the UK, however although helpful, they were unable to assist me with the specific query I have. I have a Clearview Spectrum (also known as Flex) CCTV with an Acer 17 inch TFT monitor which I purchased in 2004. I have recently moved the unit to a new property. When packing the unit for transport, I disassembled the monitor from the rest of the unit by removing the four mounting screws that connect the square mounting plate to the back of the monitor. Unfortunately it would seem that the screws were misplaced in transit, so I am now unable to reattach the monitor to the unit. As I said, I contacted Optelec here in the UK to see if they would be able to supply me with replacement screws. Unfortunately, they said they were unable to do so as the screws were standard VESA mounting screws that I could obtain anywhere. Equally unfortunately, they did not have any monitors available when I called so that they could tell me the specification of the screws which I need so that I could purchase separately from a local supplier. I have looked online to see if I can purchase standard VESA mounting screws but have had no luck. I was wondering if anyone could assist and provide the specifications for the screws I need, or even if I can obtain a complete set of replacement screws from Optelec directly. I would be extremely grateful for any assistance you are able to offer. Despite my knowledge of computers, I am completely unfamiliar when it comes to electronics or mechanics and therefore have no clue where to start to find appropriate screws myself. If it is of any help, the serial number for the CCTV starts 04 11 815R xxxx (I can provide the final four digits if this is needed). I thank you sincerely in anticipation for any help you can offer and look forward to hearing from you soon. All the best for now and take care, Please note: this message was dictated using Dragon NaturallySpeaking and TalkingPoint.
