When they initially created the Michelin guide (more a booklet), they gave it away for free to garages, automotive shops, and filling stations as promotional material. Unnfortunately because it was free, the employees were using it to prop up things, just left them laying around and generally didn't use it as a promotional device. Once Michenlin started charging for the guide, drivers started looking more closely and started using the guides increasely for trips

Looking for a camera that can do decent enough quality, with most importantly long video record time and interfacing software on the PC in c/videography

Sounds like you may be looking for something like a timelapse recording. I have a 7D and *have used 128GB CF cards for 12 hour time lapse before (I did swap out the CF cards mid capture). All I needed was either a connected remote/intervalometer, or plugged it into a laptop (I think the EOS series might actuallly connect to canon's EOS-utility software via WiFi). If you want to try a free option, and have an afternoon to kill, you could give Magic Lantern a shot. ***Note all/most of these solutions will only give you stills which you will then have to stitch together to make the video, and then overlay the voice/narration, although I'm sure you already knew that - that was just for the poor bastard that finds this reply a year from now

You could also try something a prepackaged solution like: Some website which was paid to advertise these cams. I have no experience with any of those solutions. You could also reach out to youtubers and ask them what their setup is like. This was the first hit when I searched for 'painting timelapse' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FWIoKC7x9w

Honestly I think even though 32Gb is your limit, I'd try Magic Lantern. You get a intervalometer (which is 75% of this), and its free. Try this, get it setup with your Canon, and point it out the window (please don't point it directly at someone's windows/house) and let er rip. There are calculators and tables on the internet for various timing scenarios that you can check out
