You could possibly get close to 80 with the 70+10 from the PTZ (really just T...).
Been looking at our garage, I could mount it there...

Think though I will wait for people to post their pics...

I will try to find some time over the holiday break to mess with it. My main concern is install height being too low.
Thank you. Yeah looking at the video Andy shared, the guy has his way up high on a pole. If I mount it high on our garage close to 18 feet high, it may work, just not sure if our front yard trees would be a problem though. Our drive up to our house is about 75-100 feet, it would be nice to capture that activity...

yes, the ceiling mount can be ok, just sometimes the long range lens will not get good pic, because it's very narrow lens.
So straight on is the best but small angle is ok

I saw that picture too but it stops at 70 degree angle...I guess I could custom (3D-Print) an angled mount...like Doorbell CAM do???

The issue on the soffit mount is not a 70° limit as the camera does not have a limit. The issue is that on a low mount (ranch house) when you tilt the camera up, the sun shield hits the mount so you can't aim it high enough. I used a PFA121, (tapped some 4mm holes) because the PFA124 was not available. I am guessing the 124 may be worse as the camera will sit closer to the base and hit even sooner if you try to do a 90° angle.

If you mount the camera higher up, you may not have any issues at all unless you try to have a large angle as the adjustment screws get blocked if it is too much. This does require a t15 security torx for adjusting and it is included but it is awkward.

I did take it off the soffit and made a ghetto mount (seen above) to be able to shoot the cam somewhat straight so I didnt have to put holes in the vinyl siding as this was just a temporary test location.

Not a great design IMO but a nice camera.
