What would be the benefit to using the bracket, as oppose to mounting the camera directly on to a 90 degree wall?

This camera is only a 2 axis configuration. When mounted on a wall, you can move the eye up and down and rotate clockwise. To view the image properly, you will need to use the built-in software to flip the image. I tried mounting the camera on the wall first but was displeased with the viewing angle and ended up buying a bracket to mount it as it is designed. I recommend a bullet style if you are mounting on a wall and don't want to spend money for a dome mount.

This is a 2-axis camera so you can either mount it on a ceiling or if there is no ceiling available, then you must mount it on the wall using the bracket.

I mounted mine above the license plate. The camera can be rotated in the mounting bracket 360 degrees for correction.

Yep you sure can. Mine is mounted on the ceiling, but I know this can also be mounted on the wall, and once you position the camera, you can lock it into place with the provided Allen wrench.

I haven't installed mine yet, but I did determine that if you loosen the nut that holds the camera to the wall mount, you can move the camera around to position in just about any way. Good Luck.

I used the wall mount option and it works great for me. The system was easy to install and adjust. I'm very satisfied with my system. One thing to consider in bracket placement is structural support. The wall studs will normally give you better support.

There is some flexibility as to how you mount the bracket but I think that the locking mechanism relies on gravity and pressure to keep it set in place. On the side it might not have the weight of the device to lock it into place. I am not jumping up and down with glee as to how this bracket is preforming. It is only OK. You can turn the mounting hardware to the side and try... but I couldn't attest to how well the position would hold.

You can mount any camera with the threaded on the bottom, most cameras have that feature

yes, but you may have clearance issues from the three legs if it isn't at the very bottom of the camera and you'll need to tinker with the legs to get it at a perfect 90 degrees. I'll say that it's best to select an angle for the mount head and leave it there vs. moving it and instead moving the legs to adjust if possible. The friction lessons it seems with each adjustment and eventually the head will just wobble around with no tension screw to tighten it like a traditional tripod.

the bracket is thread in type. You adjust the camera accordingly then tighten down a lock nut to where you want the camera. There is another threaded hole in the back of the camera for under eave mounting. Advice: Use lock-tight liquid threadlocker. Yes you can hang it under eaves with a right side up view.

In my experience, there was no real benefit. Having the camera practically in my armpit was more bothersome. I think that longer is better since I prefer to have my camera hanging near my hip with one hand on the camera. It's a personal preference.

A corner wall angled at 90 degrees the tv bracket extends up to 24" Distance may vary depending on corner angle

I've not tried this. The unit itself is lite so a properly installed chain link fence post wouldn't have any trouble with the combined weight of this enclosure and a camera. However, the mount on this enclosure would not fit securely on a small fence post. You would have to get a pole mounting bracket to couple with the built in mount for this enclosure. You should be able to find a pole mounting bracket at your local hardware store.

I don't think you need it. There was a mount that came with my camera that worked perfectly.

Just installed this about a month ago. I do not see any reason that it cannot be mounted on a wall. Camera is angle able as needed.

You won't want to do that with any bracket. The bracket needs to be mounted firmly in place. If you were gonna move the tv that might be ok. But moving the bracket is a BAD idea.

This might be a better bracket to get: CB Digital-T Flash Rotating Bracket for Tall Cameras and Cameras With Add-on Grip

Ceiling mount only. You can purchase an wall bracket mount, it's a standoff to keep your camera horizontal. If you mount the camera to the wall you'll be looking sideway when you pan.
