Hi Sam,
you could use our autonomous recorder, based on RaspberryPI. Here you can find all the details and code, together with a paper where we run some evaluations in the field.
Of course in your case you can power it using the mains rather than having to use solar panels, and you don't need to stream them through the network but can keep them in a large SD card. By default they'll be segmented in 1-hour chunks, but you can change
that in the code quite easily.
We have used this with the Rode SmartLavPlus mic, which is omni and works rather well, and is not too expensive. But you can of course also use other microphones with ¼ jack connector and max 5v power requirements. If you need more (e.g.
48v phantom power) then you'll need to get a dedicated audio interface for the RaspberryPI...there are a few USB ones with XLR connectors and phantom power.
I hope this helps!
best
