The cable comes attached to the camera and is 30 feet long. It's a single cable until the end where it splits up into audio, video, and power. So I just suction cup that to the side of the car. Another alternative would be to use some painters tape to stick it down.

The camera comes in a "weather proof" housing, which means it's in that little metal cylinder with some caps on it. The actual camera lens is behind a small peice of glass so it's not directly exposed.
I guess what's missing from the pictures is a sense of scale. The bullet cam is only about a 1" diameter and maybe 3" long. So the chance of it getting hit is pretty slim. I'm also not too worried about the camera as it's not exactly the most expensive thing in the world, sure $50 is nothing to sneeze at but it's not like I'm mounting a $500+ DV cam outside the car.
