PILOT Video vs VentraCloud

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.

VentraCloud is a vehicle video telematics platform for commercial fleets using compatible Ventra dashcams, mobile NVRs, and vehicle recorders. It provides remote access to live and recorded video, event footage, images, GPS history, and related vehicle activity. Camera views depend on the hardware and installation and may cover the front, sides, rear, cabin, cargo area, trailer, or equipment. Event footage can include overspeed, impact, and external alarm inputs; select models also support FCW, driver distraction, and lane departure events. Listed uses include incident and claims review, cargo and delivery visibility, driver coaching, route and stop verification, yard activity, and delivery exception analysis. Scheduled email reports are also listed. Compatible devices use local SD cards as the primary recording source; VentraCloud adds remote access and centralized review. Listed video retention is 30 days, though event availability and retention depend on system, configuration, and service plan. Remote access relies on cellular connectivity. Service is commonly offered in 6-month terms and charged by system or vehicle, not user; there is no minimum vehicle requirement, and fleets can choose which vehicles receive service. Pricing is on request. Ventra lists mobile apps for iOS and Android, alongside web access.
