the Gopro is available at many local venues & I have seen it on sale here for not much over your price point... have used the camera on a number of mounts for underwater almost a decade ago when they were still 35mm & I was doing a lot of UW camera testing with the Aquarium... I have not used the "new fangled" digital platform as much
Not absolutely sure of the legal issues here, do know that that electronically recording communications without warrant or consent can get into some legal questions (so sound is probably a no-no, esp. for police), and that Hawaii is one of the 13 states to outlaw video on any private areas without consent, but most states have ruled public video surveillance is OK, and this is what I found prior to installing ours:

We have a video system for the house now after the police chased a car into our gate & car last month (and asked me if I had any info on the vehicle THEY were chasing, as they did not...)....so I do have an idea of where you are coming from.... & do know that it is not in a comfort zone (esp. since both of our issues deal involve neighbors not being neighborly...)
