Camera for the bike

[willhub]

I'm looking for a camera for the bike that has good performance in the night as well as the day.

There are cameras around 50 quid that seem to have good rep but the cameras like the GoPro for hundreds.

I'm wondering if there is a good balance between price and performance or if the GoPros are the only real option here ?

It's for safety to capture anything like accident, but I want to just record various parts of rides in good quality as well.

I ride on the road, sometimes partly off-road through Chorlton water park which is like gravel paths sometimes with big puddles.
