IANAL, but since the burden of proof is on the prosecution, per Coffin v. United States, 156 U.S. 432 (1895), there is never a proper time for the defense to prove the he did not, in fact, break the law. To quote from the decision:
The principle that there is a presumption of innocence in favor of the accused is the undoubted law, axiomatic and elementary, and its enforcement lies at the foundation of the administration of our criminal law.
I am sure that there are other similar products, and at under $150 a piece, something like the DLink DVC-1000 here: http://www.dlink.com/products/?sec=1&pid=8 would be hard to beat in terms of simplicity.
