Just grab a shoebox and write "CAMERA" on it with a sharpie.
Ever notice that the fake cameras are never even remotely similar to the real ones a given store carries?
For less than that windshield cost you, you can get a camera and simple DVR setup that will record to SD cards. (1GB cards are often available for $20) Most of them loop, so you don't have to worry about changing tapes, and most of them are motion-sensing, so you won't waste hours of recording space watching the grass grow.
If you know within 4-6hrs when it is likely to happen, or don't mind swapping tapes that often, you could just use a $30-40 camera and a VCR from the pawnshop. For about $100-150, some places may have a camera and controller combo that will give you limited motion-sensing capability. (nothing like the pre-loop setup with digital, though, which can show you a preset amount of what was happening before the motion sensing circuit was tripped)
Here's a nice one for the computer that's still cheaper than a windshield:

I don't see the SD-based one on their website, but my local WalMart has it for $150-200 without any SD cards. Check your WalMart, and especially any electronics or spy-supply stores.
