Automated drone systems

A mobile device with access to an automated drone security system, wherein the automated drone security system comprising:

• a plurality of drones, each of the plurality of drones comprising:
• one or more onboard sensors;
• and
• an imaging device for measuring surveillance data, wherein
• the surveillance data comprises images and telemetry data of the location,
• the location is selected from the group consisting of one or more structures, buildings, and parcels of land, and
• each drone being capable of:
• executing a flight operation for surveilling the location for a period of time,
• storing and transmitting the surveillance data to a server assembly, the server assembly coordinating the plurality of drone and receiving the surveillance data measured from the plurality of drone,
• detecting one or more alarm conditions using the one of the onboard sensors of one or more of the plurality of drones, the one or more alarm conditions including intrusion, theft, burglary, break-in or tampering of the location,
• being dispatched with one or more of the drones to an event of interest at the location being surveilled based on detecting the one or more alarm conditions,
• deactivating and/or reactivating one or more of the plurality of drones,
• controlling parameters of the one or more onboard sensors including minimum thresholds for a predetermined alert or pan, zoom, tilt, direction, and frames per second for the imaging device, and
• in response to the controlling, activating a function on one of the one or more onboard sensors or the imaging device based on the one or more alarm detected conditions, and
• a plurality of drone docks operable for drone launching, landing, and storing the plurality of drones,
• wherein the mobile device is in communication with the server assembly and the plurality of drones, the mobile device having a non-transitory storage medium, a processor for processing the surveillance data between the server assembly and the plurality of drones, and a user interface for receiving user input and displaying the surveillance data from the plurality of drones,
• wherein the flight operation is automatically and/or manually controlled by the user computing device or the server assembly in connection with the location for uninterrupted aerial coverage of the event of interest.
