Sightlock turns large drone folders into an indexed spatial workstation: video, photos, telemetry, project extents, repeat comparison, feature capture, and export all stay connected.
Drone teams have too much media and too little spatial context.
Before Sightlock
Footage sits in folders with no usable map memory.
Teams scrub manually to find the asset, reach, defect, or river chainage.
Repeat inspections happen across three or four tools that do not stay synced.
Exports are assembled by hand from screenshots, notes, telemetry, and GIS files.
With Sightlock
Repository indexing keeps media geometry live at your fingertips.
Open a project, date, visible extent, or individual geometry straight into Flight Viewer.
Compare repeat media by path similarity, overlap, date gap, project filters, and map extent.
Capture features and export evidence from a purpose-built inspection workstation.
Commercial-grade structure
Built like serious software, not a brochure.
Product proof
Use app screenshots and workflow states as the hero, the tour, and the buyer proof.
Buyer clarity
Expose trial, monthly price, machine binding, add-on keys, and rollout help before checkout.
Interactive surfaces
Tabs, calculators, accordions, status strips, and workflow lanes make the site feel alive.
Operational trust
Show compatibility, privacy posture, support paths, export outputs, and install readiness.
Product tour
One workstation. Four surfaces that stay connected.
Sightlock should feel like a professional GIS and inspection command room, not a set of disconnected panes. The app is being modernised around these core workspaces.

Core workflow
From drone folder to mapped inspection evidence.
01
Add a repository
Point Sightlock at project folders, watched roots, media folders, and geometry files. Index thumbnails, telemetry, GPS points, date ranges, and project extents.
02
Open from the map
Click project extents, media tracks, map clusters, library rows, or visible-extent suggestions to open the exact matching media in Flight Viewer.
03
Compare repeat flights
Use path similarity, overlap, date gap, project filters, and geometry selection to preload the right A/B pair, then add C/D media for deeper review.
04
Capture and export
Add inspection features, keep telemetry visible, produce WYSIWYG screenshots or synced clips, and export spatial evidence for downstream GIS work.
Compare Studio
Keep the media big while the sync tools stay precise.
Compare Studio is designed around inspection reality: pilots fly different distances, dates have different path lengths, and reviewers need to zoom, pan, sync, and export without shrinking the evidence into a tiny pane.

Repository Manager
A spatial project library for huge drone archives.
Project cards, media rows, import history, missing files, failed scans, watched roots, and live map preview make the archive usable without dragging every file into memory.

Built for operational drone teams
Where mapped media beats a folder full of files.
Rivers, coast, and flood works
Compare repeat reaches, spot scour or erosion, filter by visible map extent, and export location-aware evidence for reporting.
Infrastructure inspection
Review stopbanks, culverts, bridges, seawalls, transmission corridors, or road assets with timestamped media and GPS-backed notes.
Survey and GIS teams
Keep drone media connected to spatial layers, shapefile imports, basemaps, project extents, feature exports, and coordinate systems.
Large media operations
Index massive repositories, generate thumbnails, track missing files, and load only the selected project/date/location when the job demands it.
Inspection features
Capture defects in context.
Feature capture belongs on the map, not hidden under video controls. Sightlock keeps point, line, area, severity, description, media time, and GPS context attached to the inspection record.
Output ready
One export station, not scattered buttons.
Screenshots, synced clips, feature CSVs, KML, GPX, GeoJSON, and comparison packages should run through one WYSIWYG export workflow with Jobs history.
Does Sightlock upload all drone media to the cloud?
No. Sightlock is being positioned as a local-first desktop workstation. Subscription entitlement checks are separate from drone media storage and processing.
Why monthly instead of perpetual licensing?
The launch model keeps the entry price low: first month free, then NZD $30/month for the first key and NZD $25/month for additional keys.
Which drones are supported first?
DJI workflows are the launch focus, including MP4/MOV media, embedded telemetry where available, SRT, image EXIF GPS, GPX, KML, and CSV geometry sources.
Can a team compare repeat flights from different dates?
Yes. Compare Studio is being built around current media as A, best path-similarity match as B, visible-extent suggestions, saved pairs, and expansion toward C/D media comparison.
Launch access
Bring your drone archive into one mapped workstation.
Start with one key, index a project, open media from the map, compare repeat inspections, and export evidence without rebuilding the workflow every time.
