Is this a reasonable mount to use for T54IR-ZE-S3 on a vertical brick wall? I'm not sure if this is a cheap knock off, or the same thing empiretech sells?

Any reason you prefer that one?
You mean the PFB203W? What about for mounting vertically on wood siding?
I'm wondering if a mix would work better. I have a few locations that look like the picture below. I think the circular junction box would look better here than the wall mount that sticks out.

Regarding the round "PFA-130E " you linked: it's ABS plastic......the genuine Dahua's and the one Andy sells are aluminum.

Getting comfortable
These may work fine but they are plastic whereas Andy's empiretech are aluminum.
OOPS! TonyR beat me to it.

Can you expand on this? Is it not possible to put the PFA130 in any field of view you want?
You can turn the camera on the PFA130 to any angle you want.
The problem is the cord gets in the way and the way you have to screw the face plate for the mount on, then the base of the camera, then deal with the cord restricted trying to angle it can become a chore if on a ladder. So it might take some take down, reposition the ball so that the cord isn't restricted, and repeat.
There is no base plate on the PFB203W so the camera base goes straight to it, and then because of the design, the cord doesn't get as restricted trying to angle it.
I have both and use both, but if I have my choice, the PFB203W is the easier one to work with.
