Ken, I bought that camera for $399 all summer during a special from DWGDistributing.com Their retail price listed on the website is misleading, if you setup an account with them you can expect to pay half what the listed price on the website is. Also there was a guy on ebay selling those cameras a while back too and I picked up several for under $400. The bracket comes and is a arm welded to a flat surface than can be bolted directly to a wall, I just drilled some holes in the flat surface and used some stainless U-bolts I had left over from old Pac Wireless/Laird antennas to bolt that to whatever.
