“I watched the install video. Near the end it makes reference to anti-theft screws and indicates to secure the camera to the floodlight. I assume that this means that the camera is held in place by the screw & magnet, not just the magnet alone, correct?”

I just installed one and the camera is held on by the magnet alone. There is a wire that you attach to it, and it can be held in place by a anti deterrent theft screw, but it is not the primary method for holding the camera.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. The mounting plate can firmly hold the camera in place, but you can secure the floodlight and the camera with the Anti-Theft screws. You can use the small screw to attach to the cover plate, and the large screw to attach to the floodlight. Then use the hex key to secure the screws in place.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.That is correct. There are a BUNCH of screws. I just ordered one and just finished installing it to try it out. There is a hex screw that secured the flood to the mount, and a large hex screw that attached the camera to the flood. It is more of a "deterrent" than theft proof, but I used them anyway. The first screw is TINY! Don't drop it, you'll never find it! lol Must be why they include two.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Works very well, motion is great and floodlights are controlled by the camera, not a separate motion sensor, and I like that. Overall performance is good, and I am still playing with the settings and trying to adjust the angle. I am very disappointed that it only works with the Home app and not the Nest app. I really miss the web interface, and I haven't found a way to "schedule" the camera. I would like it to only be on during the evening until morning. Maybe there is a way, and I don't know. It is really a little expensive (I think) for what you get, but I'm overall happy with it.
