Abstract
A security monitoring system may implement a method for surveilling an outdoor area using a drone. The method involves receiving an input to initiate a pre-surveillance operation. The input indicates a type of pre-surveillance operation to be performed in the outdoor area. The drone may be configured according to the input and may then perform the pre-surveillance operation to obtain data indicative of environmental features in the outdoor area. A flight trajectory path for the drone is generated based on the data indicative of the environmental features in the outdoor area. The flight trajectory path includes a path for the drone to move within the outdoor area. The drone then performs a detailed surveillance of the outdoor area according to the flight trajectory path. A graphical representation of the outdoor area is generated based on data obtained from performing the surveillance of the outdoor area.
