GoPro Hero 3 is a full 1080 P video camera that when expanded with a 64 GB micro Sd card will give you roughly 9 hours of recording time. It can be mounted literally anywhere in the car and has a number of other accessories allowing you to use it in virtually any "adventure" scenario. (surfing, diving...both sky and scuba, cycling, you name it theres a mount for it) It is also fully compatible with virtually any editing software and does function as a still camera as well. Its small and light and can be controlled with GoPro's free smartphone app which is really user friendly and will save you some bucks not having to buy their Bacpac and wifi remote. The middle of the line version, the Silver Edition runs around $249.99

That's obviously a limit of capability. A camera has captured a lot of hit and runs but if you are super paranoid about not being able to record everything you can always buy one for each side of your car :P
