Survey · Sync · Inspect

Made in Greymouth, New Zealand

Desktop drone inspection for infrastructure teams — synchronised video and GPS telemetry on interactive maps, repeat-flight comparison, click-to-pin defect capture, and evidence-grade exports. Built for rivers, powerlines, and coastal assets surveyed season after season.

Supports DJI, Autel, Skydio, and GoPro telemetry • GeoTIFF orthomosaics • NZ GIS layers (LINZ, Transpower, GeoNet)

Active storage provider

Pick which provider Sightlock uses when modules ask for storage. Dropbox appears here once you configure it below.

Credentials storage

Checking…

Dropbox storage (BYO)

Paste file URLs (no OAuth) Access token (full API)

One Dropbox shared-file URL per line. Use the "Copy link" button on each file in Dropbox. Folder shared-links aren't traversed without OAuth — use file-level URLs.

Not configured

Install Sightlock

Installing gives Sightlock its own window and, more importantly, lets Chrome keep your folder permission and protect your library from being cleared when disk space runs low. Without it you reconnect your folder every visit.

Checking…

Library storage

Your library — thumbnails, flight paths and telemetry — is stored in this browser, never uploaded. Export it to a file to keep a backup, or to move it to the desktop app.

Checking…

Connected folders

Browsers do not keep folder access between visits unless Sightlock is installed. Reconnect grants it again for this session — your library stays intact either way.

Format Guide

ArcGIS REST — Feature Service

Vector data (points, lines, polygons) from an Esri ArcGIS Server. Used by most NZ councils, NZTA, and government agencies.

https://services.arcgis.com/[org]/arcgis/rest/services/[name]/MapServer/0/query
https://gis.cdc.govt.nz/server/rest/services/PublicFacing/Roads/MapServer/0/query

Tip: look for URLs ending in /MapServer/0/query or /FeatureServer/0/query

GeoJSON URL

Any URL that returns a GeoJSON FeatureCollection directly. Common with open data portals and static hosted datasets.

https://opendata.westcoast.govt.nz/datasets/bridges.geojson
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/user/repo/main/data.geojson

Tip: the URL should return JSON starting with {"type":"FeatureCollection"}

LINZ WFS — Layer ID

Fetches vector data from the LINZ Data Service using your saved LINZ API key. Enter the numeric layer ID from data.linz.govt.nz.

→ NZ Property Parcels
101290 → NZ Building Outlines
→ NZ Road Centrelines
→ NZ Street Addresses

Find IDs at data.linz.govt.nz — search for the dataset and grab the number from its URL

XYZ Tiles / WMTS — Raster overlay

Raster tile layer that overlays on top of the basemap. Use for imagery, classified maps, or any tiled map service. Renders instantly at any zoom.

https://tiles.example.com/{z}/{x}/{y}.png
https://basemaps.linz.govt.nz/v1/tiles/aerial/{z}/{x}/{y}.webp?api=KEY

URL must contain {z}/{x}/{y} placeholders. No geometry type or colour needed.

WMS — Web Map Service

Older raster tile standard used by many government GIS portals. You provide the base URL and the layer name(s) to request.

https://gis.ecan.govt.nz/public/services/wms
https://geodata.epa.govt.nz/geoserver/wms

Find layer names in the service's GetCapabilities response: add ?service=WMS&request=GetCapabilities to the URL
