Blackvue 650S 2 channel (front and rear cameras). You can put a hotspot in your car and access live streaming from your cameras 24/7.

I think they have just released the 750S which might be worth looking at.
I own the 650s 2CH and had it installed in the m3. But idk where to install it in the i8. It's somehow in the viewing field, no matter where I place it. Could you post a pic, where yours is mounted?
Below the mirror and at the base of the rear window. Doesn't obstruct at all.

My front camera is to the side of the mirror (when driving you can't see it at all from the driver's seat).

My rear camera is in the centre at the top of gorilla glass division (passenger cabin side - not trunk/boot side).

I will try to get some pics later.

How did you know someone sat on your car? Do you have a Hot Spot in your car and got a notification via cloud? I have my Blackvue connected to Power Magic Pro and is constantly on. However, in short of me knowing some part of my car is damaged and checking the camera or getting in the car and connecting to the camera to check to see if there was an event, I would never know.

I do, but this was easily discovered after seeing the idiot's ass and hand print on my hood. I reviewed the video since I knew the time frame it was within - wasn't too hard to find.

What's your Hot Spot set up? Maybe I should invest in one too.

Father and son

I have the same annoyance, constantly catching vids of people sitting on the hood posing for pics.

The worst was a father and young son taking turns sitting on the hood and snapping pics!
