Uploading that much video / audio via tor wouldn't really be feasible with the current infrastructure.

  I'm hip to that but I expect a solution could be found. The main problem is that it is risky and expensive to operate an exit node. It's not a big deal to have an internal node. I expect such an app would be quite popular; if one were able to calculate how much server capacity was required for each recorder, then a retail price could be found that would keep the network within capacity. Another possibility is that while I assert it would be best to always be recording, sometimes it would be acceptable to do so in low fidelity. High fidelity audio these days is quite compact. Had better audio recording been present at JFK's assassination, there would be no doubt as to who fired the shots. Today's Ogg Vorbis or MP3 would be great for that; back then they were using reel-to-reel recorders on police car radios. Perhaps an accelerometer would help. If nothing bad is happening one wouldn't expect there to be much acceleration. But if you hear a scream or a gunshot, even if you don't aim your phone at it you are startled so that you jump up, look around or maybe even run away. At that point the app would increase its video fidelity - or use less compression. Most of the time it would use high compression, low resolution or monochrome. This kind of video doesn't really need to be in color. 8-bit grayscale NTSC video his highly compressible
