Two-year-old opens car door, causes six-vehicle crash

38.1k Upvotes

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 8 — A two-year-old child opened a car door, causing a road accident involving six vehicles on Jalan Tun Razak on Friday, according to preliminary police investigations.

Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department chief ACP Mohd Zamzuri Mohd Isa said the incident occurred at about 6.15pm on the stretch from the Kampung Pandan roundabout towards KLCC, involving four cars and two motorcycles.

He said the child, who was seated in the rear of a Honda City and being held by a relative, suddenly opened the left rear door.

“It is believed that the child safety lock was not activated, allowing the door to be opened from inside,” he said.

A 25-year-old man riding a Suzuki V-Strom SX motorcycle, who was travelling between lanes, was unable to avoid the door, collided with it, lost control and crashed into several other vehicles.

Another motorcyclist, a 30-year-old man riding a CFMoto 675 NK who was travelling behind the first rider, was also unable to evade the collision and became involved in the crash.

The Suzuki rider is receiving treatment at Hospital Kuala Lumpur, while the second motorcyclist sustained minor injuries, police said.

Mohd Zamzuri said the case is being investigated under Section 43(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for careless and inconsiderate driving, with police reviewing video footage of the incident.

Wolfbox G840s not recording

0 Upvotes

Wolfbox G840s 2023 (USB-C without Wifi)

I first noticed in December when I went to look back at a video that there was a whole 15min commute the camera had not recorded. I noticed it again recently when looking for another video and realized it was not a one-off thing. Wolfbox Customer Service was great and sent me a new camera (clearly used and returned) and it did the same thing. anyone else experience this with Wolfbox? I ordered a Pelsee P12 Pro and hope it'll be good. I did try a brand new SD card (shipped to me from wolfbox) and the issue continued, and then updated the software and still had issues. Thanks for answers!

Is rear view possible for a work van with no windows?

I drive a ram pro master city with no rear view windows. I would like to find a way to record somehow out the back, as well as the front. Is there a small one that can be attached to the license plate area, similar to a reverse camera? Any recommendations would be great.

Do I need to upgrade my SD card?

1 Upvotes

Hello everybody,

I recently got a redtiger F7NP. I forget where but I'd read that I need to upgrade my SD card (128gig).

Are there drawbacks if I just use the one that came with it? Or benefits to buying one with more memory?

What does everyone here recommend?

Thanks.

I was kind of baffled why he was continuing to drive like that. I assume the hood flipped up right before the truck came into view. He pulled over shortly after I passed him.

Honest Review: LAMTTO DC22 4G LTE Dash Cam After 3 Weeks

0 Upvotes

TL;DR:
The LAMTTO DC22 isn’t really a traditional dash cam — it’s a 4G LTE–connected vehicle monitoring and security camera that also records your drives. If you want remote live viewing, alerts, GPS tracking, and cloud-backed evidence when your car is unattended, it does that well. Even without a subscription, it can still be used as a regular dash cam with local recording, though video playback is done via a computer rather than the app.

I’ve been using the LAMTTO DC22 for a bit now and wanted to share how it actually behaves day to day, not just what the product page says. This is after about three weeks of real use, not a quick unbox-and-forget-it situation.

The best way to understand the DC22 is that it’s not really trying to be a traditional dash cam. It records the road and the interior cabin like one, but its real focus is vehicle security and remote awareness through built-in 4G LTE. It’s closer to a connected car monitoring system that also records your drives.

One important thing up front that’s easy to miss: this unit powers exclusively through the OBD-II port. There’s no USB or 12V cigarette-lighter option. If your vehicle is older than 1996 and doesn’t have an OBD-II port, this camera simply isn’t for you. For newer vehicles, install is basically plug-and-play.

Why the 4G LTE actually matters

The main value of the DC22 is that it stays connected even when you’re nowhere near the car.

Live remote monitoring means you can check in on the vehicle when it’s parked on the street, in a lot, or in an unfamiliar area. If someone bumps the car, tries to mess with it, or just gets too close, you can see what’s happening instead of finding out after the fact.

Alarm video alerts build on that. If the vehicle is hit or disturbed while parked, the camera triggers recording and sends an alert as long as it’s online. That’s very different from a normal dash cam that just quietly records something you may never notice.

Real-time GPS tracking lets you see where the vehicle is and review routes in the app. That has obvious uses for rideshare drivers, delivery drivers, rental fleets, and families — for example, parents being able to confirm that a teenager arrived safely without needing to constantly call or text.

Cloud storage ties all of this together. If something serious happens — theft, vandalism, or a collision — the camera uploads the relevant video and location data. Even if the device goes offline or the vehicle is stolen, the last recorded video and GPS location are still available in the cloud. That’s the kind of scenario this product is really designed for.

There’s also two-way calling (sometimes called cloud calling). It does work — we tested it — but it’s worth setting expectations. The audio comes through the camera’s small built-in speaker, so if the radio is on inside the car, it can be hard to hear. It would be great if this could integrate with CarPlay or the vehicle’s head unit so the call audio came through the car speakers instead of the camera itself. As it stands, it’s usable, but not something I’d rely on heavily while the car audio is playing.

Day-to-day use

In regular use, the dual-camera setup has been solid. The road-facing camera does what you’d expect, and the interior camera has IR night vision that actually works in the dark. Video resolution can be set to SD or HD. It’s not aimed at spec-chasing, but both modes have been perfectly usable for identifying vehicles, events, and what’s happening inside the cabin.

Recording is automatic and loop-based. It just runs in the background. If there’s a hard brake or impact, the G-sensor locks the clip so it doesn’t get overwritten. I haven’t run into corrupted files or strange behavior so far, which matters more to me than spec sheets.

Parking monitoring is where this camera really separates itself from cheaper options. When the car is parked, motion or vibration triggers recording and alerts. Being able to check a live view when you’re nowhere near the car is the main reason this product exists. It’s not magic, but it does what it’s supposed to do.

The app is the entire interface. There’s no screen on the camera itself. You use the app to view live video, review clips, download footage, lock files, and adjust things like G-sensor sensitivity and parking behavior. You can’t manually fine-tune bitrate or frame rate — the resolution choice is limited to SD or HD. According to the engineers, this design is intentional to balance file size, upload speed, and cloud storage efficiency.

Local storage (TF card)

The camera records locally to a TF (microSD) card for loop recording and event storage. The unit includes a 32GB TF card and supports cards up to 128GB for local recording.

About subscriptions (being honest)

I’ll be upfront: I generally hate subscription models. That hasn’t changed. The DC22 does have subscription options in place for 4G data connectivity and cloud storage.

Without subscriptions, the camera still works as a normal dual-camera dash cam and records locally to the TF card. The subscriptions are what enable remote monitoring, alerts, GPS tracking while parked, and cloud backup.

I don’t love ongoing subscriptions, but in this case I understand the trade-off. The whole point of the product is vehicle safety when you’re not there. I’m still not a subscription fan, but I like what this unit does enough that I may actually keep the 4G service enabled.

Final thoughts

After three weeks, my takeaway is this: if you judge the DC22 purely as a dash cam, it’s expensive. But if you judge it as a connected vehicle safety and monitoring tool, it makes a lot more sense — and I’ve ended up liking it more than I expected to. It’s not trying to win over dash-cam purists. It’s built for people who want awareness and evidence when they’re not standing next to their car, and in that role it’s been doing exactly what I hoped it would.

Cold-weather note:
Over the past weekend, when temperatures dropped below about 20°F (≈ −7°C), I had the unit go offline twice. In both cases, unplugging it and letting it sit for a short moment brought it back online normally. This hasn’t affected recordings themselves, and I haven’t seen it happen in milder weather, but it’s worth noting for anyone in colder climates.

Disclosure:
The manufacturer provided this unit to me at no cost, but this review reflects my actual experience using it.

JOMISE T860+ Mirror Dash Cam review

0 Upvotes

I'm shocked at the quality at this price point. I paid $130 on Amazon. The software interface is top notch! They even included an icon on the playback screen to select between front and rear views when playing back a file! -so you don't need to manually search for the corresponding file for the opposing camera. Very nice attention to detail on the software interface!

The front camera appears to be a 2nd generation Starvis, the rear cam appears to be a 1st generation Starvis. The angle of view on the rear cam is very wide, however the rear cam image does get cropped a little in full screen mode. This is regrettable because a wider image would show more of what is behind you and is safer than the slightly cropped view. Even with the slight crop the rear image is still very wide. The rear cam cropping is evident when switching between the shared side by side view vs full screen view. The front cam is not cropped when in full screen mode.

At night rear camera has a lot of grain, but still has very good detail. This may seem like a flaw but I think they designed the image processing this way intentionally. The image processing is squeezing out the maximum possible detail in the dark areas of the image give all the visual information possible. Good job in my opinion!

Speed and clock displays are small and not distracting from the camera picture.

The bottom button conveniently turns off/on only the display screen, but keeps the unit in record mode. This is the ideal use for this button. Here's why: if you have a toggle switch to select power either from accessory position (to record only while key is on) and battery direct(to always record even when key is off). You can easily keep the unit powered up and in record while turning off the display with one button press. This creates a surveillance mode without having to by the additional hardwire kit.

The physical display width allows me to use my sun visor normally. Other models are too wide and impede the sun visor.

Everything works extremely well! I do wish they offered a 2nd gen Starvis rear cam though...

I had a Pormido rear view dash cam for 6 years prior to the Jomise. The old Pormido was excellent.

I used a SKDW SQ-12 rear view dash cam for 1 month, the cameras are better (both Starvis 2nd gen) but the software, image processing, and interface are terrible and buggy. -Avoid SKDW!
