     FIELD OF INVENTION 
     This invention relates to surveillance cameras, and in particular brackets, supports, apparatus, systems and methods for mounting surveillance cameras with a universal mount on structures, such as but not limited to under a ceiling, a shelf, a wall, on seats and door edges in vehicles, and inside of pedestals. 
     BACKGROUND AND PRIOR ART 
     Surveillance cameras have become more and more popular over the years, and are generally needed to be mounted in different locations. 
     A problem with the cameras is not having a universal mount that allows for the surveillance cameras to be mounted in multiple locations with the one bracket. Typically different types of mounting apparatus must be separately purchased and assembled to mount camera surveillance systems. 
     Prior mounting brackets were designed to mount the surveillance cameras independent of the cameras associated electronic equipment. This creates a need for larger mounting space. 
     The ability to easily adapt the mounting system to the required size and shape of the cameras enclosure was difficult. 
     Installation and removal of the camera system was difficult when not installed on a uni-bracket system. 
     Thus, the need exists for solutions to the above problems with the prior art. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     A primary objective of the present invention is to provide brackets, supports, apparatus, systems and methods for mounting surveillance cameras with a universal bracket that form enclosures on structures, such as but not limited to under ceiling, a shelf, a wall, and the like. 
     A secondary objective of the present invention is to provide brackets, supports, apparatus, systems and methods for mounting surveillance cameras with a universal bracket in vehicles, such as automobiles, such as on the tops of seat backings and/or on edges of doors. 
     A third objective of the present invention is to provide brackets, supports, apparatus, systems and methods for mounting surveillance cameras with a universal bracket inside of pedestals. 
     The bracket system provides a means to install the camera and associated equipment on a uni-system. This provides the ability to configure and adapt the shape and size to conform to the enclosure. Installation of the camera and associated electronic equipment on a uni-bracket system allows for easier installation into the enclosure or mounting surface.
