I'm looking at a camera called the INNOVV C3. http://www.innovv.com/

It's supposed to be designed for motorcycles, but might work in this application.



It looks like the cable to the lens can be extended even longer than the cable that is supplied with the camera. I'd like to mount the recorder in a readily accessible location, perhaps inside the console armrest storage compartment.

Yes, that would work pretty well. One thing to note is that with my camera (which seems to be based on the same design as this one) have user reports on poor signal quality with lens extension. I'm not sure about this one just heads up!

Now I'm looking for a way to have the buttons accessible through the housing. The problem I'm seeing is that the buttons are on the same side as the chip which will become hot and would melt the housing. I am thinking with longer buttons from an old TV remote or something like that.
You could use the original buttons which pop right out of the camera casing and simply extend the buttons. I was thinking of drilling holes and doing the same but haven't gotten to it. So far, I haven't had the need to even access the camera. Simply reading from the glovebox using an ipad has been suffice since I've coded the camera to record with motion detection if power is supplied.
