In response to the drone navigating the property, sensors and their respective location at each navigable areas are identified based on the mapping information. The monitoring server associates sensors at each area with a corresponding location of the sensor in a data model of the property. Labels descriptive of the respective sensors are generated based on the location of the identified sensors. The monitoring server determines a mapping of a label to a respective sensor associated with the data model of the property.
