There are many good quality cameras out there. What you're looking for is the lipstick, or bullet camera. Main thing to look out for is a CCD Camera, and a good LUX rating. Wide angle view is also very nice.

Don't get a wireless camera, get a wired one. Sure you'll have extra wires, but you won't have to waste battery power transmitting, and you won't have reception issues.

Reciever... this is my department. I've spent so much time researching for this exact purpose and ended up buying a very nice receiver. What you want to look into getting is a PVR (Portable/Personal Video Recorder), also known as a DVR (Digital Video Recorder). I personally bought an Archos AV500E, and it's great. It can capture video at 640x480 resolution which is plenty enough. Comes with a 30GB or 100GB Hard drive, and the batteries will last long enough to record roughly 3 hours of video non-stop.

You will need extra batteries, or an external power supply. These can easily be rigged up, and plugged into the over all system with your normal battery packs.
