Drone for recognizing and testing monitoring system sensors

A method performed by one or more computing devices, the method comprising:

• determining, using a trained model that was trained to detect one or more sensors depicted in images, that an image captured by a drone depicts a sensor located at a property;
• in response to determining that the image depicts the sensor, providing, to the drone, a first instruction that, when received by the drone, causes the drone to (i) interrupt navigation of the drone at the property and (ii) perform a test on the sensor that was depicted in the image captured by the drone;
• obtaining, from the drone, test data indicating whether the sensor is properly functioning;
• and
• in response to obtaining the test data, providing, to the drone, a second instruction that, when received by the drone, causes the drone to resume navigation of the drone within the property.

At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage device storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• determining, using a trained model, that an image captured by a drone includes a sensor located in a property;
• based on determining that the image includes the sensor, providing, to the drone, a first instruction that, when received by the drone, causes the drone to (i) interrupt navigation of the drone within the property and (ii) perform a test on the sensor;
• obtaining, from the drone, test data indicating whether the sensor is properly functioning;
• and
• based on obtaining the test data, providing, to the drone, a second instruction that, when received by the drone, causes the drone to resume navigation of the drone within the property.
