The picture of the worker with a harness looks to be attached directly to a piece of unistrut. I don't believe that would satisfy OSHA and I'm not sure that would support 5000lbs. It may provide confidence of being attached to something. He should use an edge rated SRL or just a fall restraint lanyard that would prevent a fall from occurring, depending on where else he needs to work. It's hard to find anyone to rent guard rails or similar fall prevention systems in my area.

Is it common to mount a Parapet with a wall mount to the exterior of a building wall to get better angles and vantage points?

I have a customer that doesn't want to see pipe or wire on the walls of his building so i suggested using parapet mounts, this way all wire emt will be on the roof and unseen.. is there a better way to do this?

You may want to add that parapet mounts need not necessarily be installed ON a parapet. I have seen them mounted to various types of weighted bases either for temporary installation or in cases where mounting directly to the parapet was not possible or desirable (in fact, second-to-last photo of the harnessed worker shows this). The long cantilever provided by the parapet mount helps get the camera over the edge, and with the double-45 bend is usually more aesthetically pleasing than a straight plank or pipe sticking out flat from the parapet.
I generally don't see this sort of option marketed however, so I'm left to wonder if they're custom fabricated or an aftermarket option? The one in the above article sure looks fancy.

Thank you for linking this article to the surveillance camera installation course reading material. I have work planned very near a parapet and reached out to our EHS officer to to ask that proper preparation is complete before the scheduled work date.
