Dash cameras: good idea or paranoia
Jay my personal limit is $100 for a camera and i've had pretty decent luck with whatever's on Amazon.  Currently using the SpyTec A118C which has US support unlike a lot of the chinacams.  i like that that particular cam design has been around a long time now so the formfactor is easy to hide, pretty bug proof, and it uses an internal capacitor for its own power when the car's off that withstands interior heat better.  its not the latest or greatest but clear enough you can read plates pretty easily at reasonable distances and i didn't want GPS tracking for my own liability reasons (not that i ever don't behave obviously).  you can set it to run full time, awaken when it feels a bump triggered by a g-sensor, or fully off when the car's off.  we have it set to the latter. given your track record you might want to g sensor setting for when the scumbags find your honda...

for memory i'm using Samsung EVO 32GB Class 10 micro SDHC cards in both our cars, together with the cams they have withstood really high interior temps in the summer months down here reliably.  I still get a new card about every 2 years though just in case.

hardwiring is really easy for what you're used to doing.  i just grabbed this add-a-fuse hardwire kit yesterday to install into our 4runner.  when cabling its easy to hide the lines under the headliner edge, A-pillar trim, and under the door jamb kick plates if/when running cable rear to front.

i've seen the front/rear combo cams and haven't tried any yet, that's out of my depth.  i think Evan set up a rear cam in his CX5 though?
