It's in a high impact, waterproof case. If you watch Top Gear or other car shows, you'll see them on nearly everything. Full HD and the Black edition even does low light and 1080 with 60 frames per second (normal is 30fps). I was cheap and just got the entry level silver edition at $199, plus some of the attachments (about $60 online), and a 32gb micro sd-card (about $60).
The little rectangle on the top right is the camera about 2.5"x1"x2", to it's left is the camera in the case. I think they are suppose to take an impact at over 200mph. The suction cup mount I think is rated for 150mph+.
I used a flat adhesive mount for under the car.
