Operational promise
Keep the drone archive live, searchable, and inspection-ready.
Sightlock is for teams that do not want to reload an entire media archive every time they need one reach, one defect, one repeat flight, or one evidence package.
Move from project card, map extent, media track, library row, or visible-date filter into the exact frame set.
Keep video panes large while timeline sync, map paths, telemetry, thumbnails, and export controls stay reachable.
Why it exists
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.
Use app screenshots and workflow states as the hero, the tour, and the buyer proof.
Expose trial, monthly price, one account key, device allowance, machine binding, and rollout help before checkout.
Tabs, calculators, accordions, status strips, and workflow lanes make the site feel alive.
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.
Repository Manager
Index the archive once.
Turn folders into a spatial repository.
Projects, watched roots, thumbnails, media geometry, missing files, scan history, date ranges, and project extents become searchable without hard-loading the whole archive.
- Project cards with map preview
- Loaded, indexed, missing, and failed states
- Open media from a project, date, location, or geometry
Review footage where it was flown.
Flight Viewer keeps the video/photo, map geometry, telemetry overlay, right-side library, and bottom utility drawer in one professional inspection surface.
- Telemetry, features, layers, weather, and jobs drawer
- Visible-date and project filters
- Map-side feature capture and export context
Line up dates, paths, and inspection frames.
Start with the active media as A, preload the best path-similarity match as B, and expand to C/D when a four-way review is useful.
- Geometry auto-sync and manual offset
- Visible-extent pair suggestions with thumbnails
- Per-pane zoom, pan, fullscreen, and screenshots
Move between survey media and GIS context.
Project extents, clusters, basemaps, shapefile imports, active layers, opacity, draw order, styles, and map popups make drone media easier for GIS teams to trust.
- Layer manager with active and imported layers
- Project popup actions into Library or Flight Viewer
- Map style, label density, and geometry modes
Finish with evidence, not loose screenshots.
One export station should own screenshots, synced clips, feature tables, comparison packages, telemetry choices, map placement, and Jobs history.
- WYSIWYG preview before output
- Side-by-side, map side, map bottom, and no-map presets
- CSV, KML, GPX, GeoJSON, and package paths
Core workflow
From drone folder to mapped inspection evidence.
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.
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.
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.
Capture and export
Add inspection features, keep telemetry visible, produce WYSIWYG screenshots or synced clips, and export spatial evidence for downstream GIS work.
Feature walkthrough
Pan through the workstations buyers need to understand.
Flight Viewer
Video, map, telemetry, and media library stay together.
Keep the working media large while the map, path, telemetry, features, and right rail provide context.
Compare Studio
Repeat inspections become a proper review workspace.
Pair suggestions, saved pairs, sync controls, map legends, timeline offsets, and optional C/D review all live in one place.
Repository Manager
A project repository for huge drone archives.
Cards, filters, watched roots, missing files, import jobs, recent media, and map preview make the archive usable.
GIS Layers
Map layers behave like part of the inspection workflow.
Layer categories, opacity, draw order, style, lock/unlock, shapefile import, and project popups are central controls.
Export Station
Preview must match the output.
Export screenshots, synced clips, feature files, and compare packages from one controlled evidence flow.
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.
2-up by default, expandable to C/D 2x2 review
Auto-sync by geometry and path progress
Per-pane zoom, pan, fullscreen, and screenshot controls
Visible-extent pair suggestions with thumbnails
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.
Who it helps
Different teams, same problem: media needs to stay spatial.
Asset owners
Keep repeat flights over rivers, coast, stopbanks, roads, bridges, seawalls, or corridors visible by project and date. Open an asset extent, jump to the matching footage, then export a defensible evidence set.
- Project health, missing media, and last scanned status
- Repeat comparison by path similarity and date gap
- Feature capture with severity, type, and location context
Survey teams
Stop treating each flight as a one-off file. Sightlock keeps source folders, telemetry, generated geometry, and media thumbnails connected so repeat jobs are faster to find and review.
- Watched roots and repository cards for each job area
- Flight Viewer launch from media rows or map geometries
- DJI-first support with SRT, EXIF, GPX, KML, CSV, and GeoJSON paths
Inspection leads
Compare different dates without shrinking the footage into a tiny review pane. Sync by geometry, manually offset when needed, zoom and pan each pane, then save the pair and export the result.
- A/B default with optional C/D 2x2 review
- Visible-extent pair suggestions with thumbnails
- Telemetry overlays and mapped path legend for each comparison
GIS teams
Layer Manager, map styles, shapefile imports, geometry previews, project extents, and spatial exports turn drone media into a proper desktop GIS companion.
- Layer opacity, draw order, labels, styles, and presets
- Open project/media geometry directly from map preview
- CSV, KML, GPX, GeoJSON, and feature package export paths
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.

Questions
What buyers need to know before installing.
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 active device and NZD $25/month for each additional active device slot.
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.
