    Abstract: Landing pads for a drone. One of the landing pads can include a landing area with a first surface configured to receive a second surface of a landing gear of a drone; a docking area i) with a first end adjacent to the landing area and a second opposite end and ii) a docking surface configured to contact the second surface of the landing gear of the drone; a fixed member i) with a third surface adjacent to the second end of the docking area and ii) configured to contact an end of the landing gear of the drone; a moveable member configured to i) move the landing gear across the first surface of the landing area onto the docking surface and ii) secure the landing gear of the drone in place between the docking surface of the docking area and the third surface of the fixed member.

    Abstract: A drone is used to map difficult transition spaces within buildings such as staircases between different levels of a multi-level building. The mapping technique used may vary based on the type of building space. For instance, for linear staircases, an orthogonal trajectory path or a smooth trajectory path may be used to map the transition space. The orthogonal trajectory path and the smooth trajectory path may be derived, at least in part, on initial and terminating points provided by a user. For circular staircases, a user may move the drone from the initial point to the terminating point, and the drone may determine a trajectory path based on the user's movement of the drone from the initial point to the terminating point.

    Abstract: Stations for a drone are described as well as a monitoring system that is configured to monitor a property using one or more drones. The drone is launched from a docking station and configured to navigate the property to perform operations to monitor the property. The docking station is located at an area of the property. The docking station includes a landing surface that is parallel to a particular area of the property that supports the docking station. A positioning surface of the docking station slopes toward the landing surface. The positioning surface, including its slope, is configured to receive the drone and guide the drone toward the landing surface.

    Abstract: A security monitoring system may implement a building space mapping process using a drone. The process involves generating a floor plan of the building space by performing pre-mapping and detailed mapping protocols, and allowing the user to specify particular areas of interest that may restrict or enhance the drone's ability to move through the building space. The drone may generate and travel along a trajectory path based on the floor plan and information collected during the mapping protocols.

    Abstract: Techniques, devices, and systems are described for determining and adjusting a perspective angle of a drone sensor such as a camera. A described drone system can include an aerial drone; a ground station; an actuator to adjust the drone camera's field of view; and a controller. The controller can be configured to receive an event associated with one or more spatial coordinates or zones, determine the camera's current perspective angle, determine a target perspective angle based on the event such that the target perspective angle will cause the camera to capture imagery from the one or more spatial coordinates or zones, and cause the actuator to adjust the camera from the current perspective angle to the target perspective angle.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for security camera drone communication coupling to control and computing station. In some implementations, a first drone and a second drone are configured to monitor a property. A base station is configured to communicate with the first drone and the second drone. The first drone is configured to determine the first drone is unable to communicate with the base station and able to communicate with the second drone. Based on determining the first drone is unable to communicate with the base station and able to communicate with the second drone, the first drone is configured to determine the first drone is able to communicate with the second drone, transmit, to the second drone, a data packet and instructions to transmit the data packet to the base station.
