Quick start

Get from drone folder to mapped inspection.

Use this quick start to understand the launch workflow: add a repository, index geometry, open media from the map or library, compare repeats, capture features, and export evidence.

01

Prepare sources

Keep video/photos, SRT, EXIF, GPX, KML, CSV, and shapefile sources together by project or reach.

02

Index repository

Add the folder as a repository, generate thumbnails, parse telemetry, and save media geometry.

03

Review spatially

Open Flight Viewer from the map, project cards, media rows, or visible extents.

04

Compare and export

Use Compare Studio, capture features, and send evidence through the Export Station.

1. Add a repository

Choose a project folder that contains drone videos, photos, SRT files, telemetry, GPX/KML/CSV, or geometry files. Sightlock indexes geometry so the map can remain useful without loading every media file.

2. Open Flight Viewer

Load media from the right library rail, inspect video alongside the map, and use the bottom drawer for telemetry, features, layers, weather, info, and jobs.

3. Compare repeat flights

Open Compare Studio from the active media. Sightlock should preload the current flight as A and suggest the best path-similarity match as B.

4. Capture and export

Add map features, review inspection evidence, and export screenshots, synced clips, CSV, KML, GPX, GeoJSON, or shapefile packages from the export flow.

Supported sources at launch

DJI workflows first: MP4/MOV, image EXIF, DJI embedded telemetry, SRT, GPX, KML, CSV, and phone GPS where supported by the app. Additional drone and sensor suppliers should be treated as roadmap items until tested.

Repository checklist

  • Confirm project folder path and naming.
  • Check media count and date range after scan.
  • Review failed, missing, no-GPS, and new-file states.
  • Open the project extent in the live map preview.

Compare checklist

  • Start from the active Flight Viewer media.
  • Use best path-similarity candidate as B.
  • Filter suggestions by visible extent and project.
  • Zoom and pan each pane before exporting.

Export checklist

  • Choose one export preset and preview the exact output.
  • Toggle telemetry, labels, map, and feature list intentionally.
  • Use Jobs history for completed exports.
  • Record hash/version metadata with installer releases.

Download and update workflow

Protected download access, beta/stable release channels, installer manifest, SHA256 hash proof, rollback, and code-signing plan.
