Reticle control and network based operation of an unmanned aerial vehicle

A controller, the controller operative to:

• receive a request for change in a camera view of a camera of a drone from a user computing device of a tele-operator;
• generate positioning of a reticle of a display of the tele-operator based on the received request for change in the camera view;
• generate a camera attitude control based on the received request for change in the camera view, wherein the camera attitude control provides orientation control of the camera of the drone;
• wherein the positioning control of the reticle is more responsive than the orientation control of the camera;
• and wherein the controller is connected to the user computing device of the tele-operator though a network, and the controller is connected to the drone through a remote control and a wireless link;
• and wherein the controller is further operative to generate positioning control of the reticle of the display to re-center the reticle on the display as a camera orientation approaches or has reached an orientation as requested by the request for change in the camera view of the camera of the drone from the tele-operator.
