My dad fitted a Sanyo device outside his but the image quality is so low that I can't imagine it actually would lead to anyone being caught.

Ive got a Garmin Forerunner 110 in a drawer doing nothing if you want it? Comes with a heart-rate strap as well. Think the watch strap might be dodgy though.
