if you want an in-car camera, have a read of the dashcams thread, it has all the info you need.

they're primarily used as driving recorders, but plenty of them will do motion sensing recording whilst the car is parked up.

of course they will only record in the one direction, so you may want to get two wide angle ones for the front and back for your purposes, or one that has dual cameras.

This guy does loads of great car camera reviews and he made a video which answers your question. In short none of them:
