PILOT Video
PILOT Video links fleet cameras with GPS tracking in a platform for live video, safety alerts and incident records. Its player can display front, rear, driver-facing and side feeds simultaneously, with two-way communication with drivers. Driver monitoring detects drowsiness, phone use, distraction and seatbelt violations; managers receive alerts and coaching reports. ADAS and DMS events can trigger video uploads stamped with GPS information for review and download. The system supports multi-channel MDVRs, with Howen, CMS, Hikvision, Cipia, Teltonika DualCam and Jimi IoT among its listed hardware. As a native PILOT Fleet Management module, it can share an account with GPS tracking, driver management, logistics and reporting. Events can be tied to telematics triggers, with notices by email, SMS, on-screen notification or Telegram. Deployment options are SaaS cloud and on-premise installation on the customer’s infrastructure. APIs and an SDK support custom functions and integrations. Each account includes 3 GB of cloud storage; when full, the oldest events are overwritten. Pricing is on request, and a free trial is offered.
