Something like a Go Pro Session Under the seat or handlebars might do the trick. Set it to photo every 1 or 2 seconds and mount it rear facing and it should get a good quality picture of anybody who gets close to you.

> be the best damn witness as possible

This is why I carry a small GoPro Hero in my pocket at all times. Makes a GREAT objective witness. Press the only button on it one time and she's instantly recording. You can turn off all the audible beeps and blinking red lights so it's nothing but a black box of legal defense weaponry.

If you can go ~$150 then I’d definitely recommend the GoPro Session. It’s simple to use, just push a button and it turns on and starts recording. Push it again and it stops recording and turns off. It’s compact, and won’t stick our like a sore thumb when on your head. It’s completely water proof without a housing. (Well, not water proof, but water resistant, but you can take it to the beach and it’ll be fine) You can get a new one on Amazon for $150 or if you shop around on eBay you can a used one for cheaper. Example. Once you buy that you’ll need an SD card, and a mount. Now, if you have a vented helmet and don’t mind some more added bulk, you could use this mount. It’s from GoPro, so it’ll be a bit more compared to off brand options but it will most likely last longer too. Or you could get the adhesive route and get something like this. Personally, I’d recommend the adhesive, but it’s really up to you. If you have any questions just ask. Good luck and be safe!

I personally have a Hero3 I won five years ago in a video contest, Crosstour Action Camera I use for my rear on my commuter (when I remember to charge it). And for my race bike I have my Fly6(ce), but I will use it on my commuter if I forget to charge my other rear camera.

Here is a list of common ones:

Inexpensive (< $100)

1. AKASO Action Camera 1080P HD EK5000 amazon link
   
   

• Handlebar and Helmet Mount included, very low quality video
  
  

2. Drift Stealth 2 amazon link
   
   

• Low light is not great, otherwise fine camera
  
  

3. Crosstour Action Camera amazon link
   
   
4. Yi Lite amazon link
   
   

   Mid Range ($100-250)
   

   
   

5. Contour ROAM2 Waterproof Video Camera amazon link
   
   
6. Yi 4K Action Camera amazon link
   
   
7. Garmin Virb Elite amazon link
   
   
8. Sony HDRAS100V/W amazon link
   
   
9. GoPro Session amazon link
   
   

   High End ($250+)
   

   
   

10. GoPro HERO5 Black amazon link
    
    

• Really, any of the GoPros will probably do very well. They aren't know to have the best battery life, though

3. Xiaomi Yi 4K Action Camera 2 NIS Store link
   
   
4. Fly6(ce) Amazon link

The helmet mount is much better because you can film anything, not just directly in front of you. Also less vibration and easier to find a good mount, many bike mounts wiggle loose all the time.

What's your budget and where are you from? I personally use a Rollei 420 but that doesn't seem to be available on Amazon.com. The go pro sessions are very nice because they are light and slim and waterproof without a case so you don't loose sound which might be important at some point. If your budget is very low the go-pro knock offs aren't something to scoff at, they offer quite a bit of value for a much cheaper price.

There's this, but the battery life is only about 2 hours: https://smile.amazon.com/GoPro-CHDHS-102-HERO-Session/dp/B01C80O0ZU

And it's probably not small enough.

I don't really know anything about cameras. We decided that we are going to use a 60 second interval time for the time lapse. Let me get you up to speed with where I am at. We have completely thrown out the idea of using anything made by Brinno. We like the Hero5 sessions made by GoPro for it's built in time lapse functionality and simplicity. We figure if we get a large enough storage card we can set it to record at the beginning of the week then stop it at the end. We would have to edit out the time we are not working, but considering the camera is going to be outside in the winter the durability of this camera also makes it attractive. What do you think?

I'm likin this.

GoPro Session. Definitely worth, they have more firmware updates than the Contour and also quality. http://www.amazon.com/GoPro-CHDHS-102-HERO-Session/dp/B01C80O0ZU/

Mic starts losing after 40mph and it has no external mic slots or options. So if you talk in your videos it won't be picked up unless you're stopped or slow.

Just make sure you get a compatible SD card from GoPro's chart or you'll run into problems like I did. Once I got a new card it's been working perfect.
