I need to open a front gate box that houses the intercom and camera. Anyone know where I can find a bit to fit this screw?

Which A&I?

ai-supply.com? I couldn't locate anything there under "security" except for a Torx screwdriver, and screws with oddball drivers are generically known as security screws.

My favorite was the one the cable companies used to use -- it looked like a #8 pan head, but there was no place for a driver to go. It was just very slightly out of round, so slight that it was hard to see even if you knew it, and a tool was made to fit it.
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

IF you are in a pinch, a die grinder (dremel) and an old flat head screwdriver can be modified.

Modify the screwdriver, or cut a flat slot in the screw head and use the driver to take it out? Either would work, I guess.

Remember that a lot of us don't list distros by proper name here at this public forum, and that it may be an alias...

Then think "Honeywell".

Hell in a pinch rather the cut up a screw driver. Use the dremel too and just cut a slot in the screw head. Remove the screw and replace it with whatever you want to use.
I use this for any screw where the head is stripped out.
