No drywall screws?!?!?

As a general note:
#1's 'No Drywall Screws!?!' funny comment arises from the fact the while drywall screws are common, inexpensive, and popular, they are totally not appropriate to bear the weight of a camera.
Drywall screws are designed to bite into wood studs behind sheets of drywall.
Rather than be installed into a reinforced bushing, they screw directly into drywall which is notoriously brittle with no pull-out strength.
These screws have really coarse but narrow threads which may dig into gypsum based drywall easily, but do little to hold anything to the wall:
Contrast the drywall screw on the left with the wide threaded bushing anchor on the right.
#2's 'Brass Wood Screws' comment is funny for the same reason. Brass wood screws are meant to fix pieces of wood together, not attach cameras to gypsum board.
Both types of hardware are unfortunately fairly common to see on installs where cost, convenience, or apathy outweigh the desire to install cameras securely.

What, were molly bolts too expensive to test?

Yeah, varies on a scale of "Utter crap" to "completely useless".
Has anyone ever seen a manufacturer include mounting hardware that you would really trust and want to use over alternative options?

Well, my favorite of all time and missing in this test is the “double sided tape to hold while the silicone glue dries” an alarm installer used for control panels. I’m sure he modified for camera mounting as well.

I’m surprised that Toggler Alligators weren’t mentioned. We use them a lot and have worked very well in many scenarios.

The strap toggles in the picture are garbage. If you are lucky and the strap doesn't break while you are screwing the blue head through drywall, the head will probably break off when you finally find the hole and start screwing the bolt in. The better brand is Toggler. Well that is until they sit in the van in Texas heat for a summer. Then they are all pretty useless.

I really like using these in drywall. For best results use the squeeze tool.

When I read the title, I was actually hoping to see some pull-out/shear testing of the mounts for comparison. Dust everywhere!
