DVR For Camera

I'm looking for a DVR that will accept a BNC from one camera.

I found this. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA57F1MY2344

But I'd like something smaller and runs on less power since this robot with be inside caves. I don't want to carry a bunch of power down with me.

Anyone have any ideas?

    Not a whole lot of options available. Is Wireless by chance an option? I will source some of my suppliers but even Mobile DVR's run on 12V DC.

    EDIT: I am assuming a mini spycam/dvr combo unit is not an option? They are powered by 5V and could probably be hacked to attach a battery pack to them.

    No wireless. The bot will be in caves. The V1.0 will have a 200 foot tether via cat5e. I also have two BNC to cat5 adapters that say they will shoot bw up to 600 meters. I will have about 4-5 12v batteries on the bot and about 3-4 up top to power the top board, LCD, and DVR.

    A 12v DVR would be fine if I could find a small one and light weight.

    The one you linked to is about as small as the 12V version gets.

    Guess I will use that one then. Know if I could get it cheaper anywhere else?

    I checked eBay and the one you linked to is the cheapest yet. possibly Amazon.
