New Member Request guidance for purchase.

[Dakmon]

I am looking for guidance in the purchase of my first drone. I would like to use it remotely to monitor my property in Hawaii from my home in Canada. I would also like to be able to program a flight pattern so that the drone could do the monitoring on its own at regular intervals. Am I asking too much from these drones?

Thank you in advance for any help.

Greetings from Birmingham Alabama USA, welcome to the forum! We look forward to hearing from you!

You will need to hire a local pilot to fly and send you reports

Some of that is possible... ...just NOT from Canada.

Maybe something like this?

You know, that's actually a very good idea. The local guy could send the video footage.

You are not asking too much if you know where to shop and your pockets are deep enough…

I could be interested in monitoring your Hawaiian property for you.

Probably just as difficult from Pennsylvania as it is from Canada. lol

I was figuring on a more personal approach.

Not if you're transferred there.

A sweet retirement gig.

Hello from the Crossroads of America Dakmon

Welcome to the Forum.

 

[Dakmon]

Thanks for the warm welcomes. Some good ideas, and yes I may end up there eventually just not yet.

Welcome to Mavic Pilots! Enjoy the forum!
Well, in theory you could possibly do it with the 5G dongle for the M3, however some one still needs to place the aircraft at the location. You could fly it remotely in countries that support it. 5G is a thing you know.

Greetings Dakmon, welcome to the forum from the outback of Australia. I’m up for a trip to the islands.

Welcome Dakmon . Now that would be a cool little dji feature but aside from being an electronic genius with some bucks, I am Pretty sure you need to look at drone makers that sell to the govt. I hear AAC Drone co. has a nice model with global capabilities and thermal target painting capabilities for around 35 million but I think for that you only get 1 battery and I hear they are a beast to fly in sport mode.

No-one has spelled it out so ...
You could get a drone to do that for you .. if you were on site to start it up, shut it down, charge and change the batteries etc,
But it's not possible to sit back in Canada and have a drone do all that for you at that distance.
How you would get to see the recorded videos is another matter.
And if you could, it wouldn't last very long leaving it out in the weather in Hawaii.
For now the idea is impractical and not one that would work.
