Video camera

I would lime to purchase a video camera to use in my rv. It would mainly be use to record the dogs while we're gone. I'm not looking for top of the line.
I would like something simple, as I am not tech saavy. Something small.

Something I can connect to my tv for replay.
With a rechargeable battery.

I tried to use my laptop, but I'd have to set it on my dash, and my dog might step on it.

I Googled, but ther just too many, I was hoping to get real life experience.

Thankful for sny help.
