Lee, The camera solution is easy, just install a dash cam. I have been thinking of doing so for insurance reasons after watching some of the youtube videos from Russian dash cams. After watching a few of them, my wife and I started becoming more aware of how many close calls we see on a regular basis, and realized how having your own video of a not so near miss might help out with an investigation. Turning it on while charging wouldn't add much load, and could be very helpful in dealing with malicious people.
