Alden NY... I am from there!! my family still lives there lol, funny stuff.
as for the camera, I have been thinking of getting one of the Vexlar pocket cameras... they look sweet, light, and fit in your pocket. a few of the models have recording capabilities. I would just worry about dropping it down a hole.
and if you really wanted to get crazy, the Marcum Pancam...or 4 would be great to position all around your fishing spot, but I am afraid I would be switching and watching to much to see if I was getting bit.
I have an older Marcum 350 B/W and its a tank to put that extra weight in the sled. for me lighter is better.
