Seeking Community Feedback: Can Cloud-Backup Dashcams Reduce Parking Lot Fraud & Hit-and-Run Losses?

[LAMTTO]

Hi everyone,

We’re the team at LAMTTO, and we’ve been doing a deep dive into an issue that many drivers across the U.S. have been reporting more frequently:

Parking lot hit-and-runs & insurance disputes without video evidence.

Across several car communities, we’ve seen owners mention:

Impact footage missing because the SD card corrupted

Traditional dashcams failing to record the exact moment needed

Thieves intentionally removing the dashcam or SD card

Insurance companies requiring “clear video proof” before approving claims

Because of this trend, we’ve been testing how cloud-backup dashcams (including our DC22 4G model) can serve as an additional layer of protection — specifically against fraudulent claims, staged bumps, and anonymous hit-and-runs.

We wanted to share some of our field data and ask for your feedback.


What we found during testing

1. Cloud-backup helps when the SD card is damaged or removed

Many parking lot incidents involve:

Impact while owner is away

Someone grabbing items from inside the car

Camera being unplugged during a break-in

A traditional dashcam can lose the key footage in those moments.
A cloud-connected camera, however, pushes the event clip online the instant the impact is detected.

2. Instant alerts help with real-time verification

If an incident happens, the owner receives a phone notification.
Several beta users reported catching the other driver before they left because of the alert.

Cloud storage prevents:

File corruption

Missing timestamps

“SD card was full” issues

Why we are asking the community

We want this post to be a discussion.

We’re currently improving our 4G dashcam platform, and your experience helps us shape the next update.
Specifically, we’d love to hear from you:

Questions for the community

Have you ever had a hit-and-run where your dashcam didn’t capture the footage?

Do you think cloud backup is actually valuable for insurance protection, or is SD storage enough?

Are there features you feel are missing in today’s dashcams when dealing with parking lot accidents?

We genuinely appreciate your insights.
Hearing real-world experiences helps us prioritize the right features and avoid building things nobody actually needs.

Thanks for letting us be part of the conversation — looking forward to your feedback!

Looking at one of the actual reviews of your product, I would take their words to heart on your redesign. That device is massive and if the 10 second recording time is accurate, that seems to take the entire point out of the a system like this.

I would also probably not advertise a product that lets you watch Netflix while driving if you want customers to trust you care about safety.

Playback on app for videos is horrible. Barely loads or even plays. They do offer a warning that the quality will be bad. But the issue it it doesn’t even load. Cloud videos are capped at 10 seconds. So must rely on the SD card for any real footage during an accident. The footage on the sd card doesn’t show both front and Cabin videos only the front camera. So if you need to have both video options you are forced to download through the app as the sd card video will only provide th exterior view. The 4g card will say low signal with half the bars lit up and you can barely get the video through the app to load much less have the ability to get playback of the sd card videos through the app. So the functionality of the app is pretty horrible and the 4g side is very lacking in viable signal. The device is a little bulky but narrow so it doesn’t take up a ton of window real estate. How ever I can say I would not purchase again as the 4g cost about twenty bucks a month and then you have to get the cloud storage also at another four or five dollars a month. So for twenty four dollars a month to have 4g signal that barely works/ almost non functioning on top of the 100 for the device I would say it’s truly not worth it imo."

Does this cloud based camera tap into your car's power so in the event of an incident will it activate or is it constantly running on vehicle power.?

Ring's car cam is $6 per month or $60/year.
