Well after all this I think I have decided to walk away from the drones for now. Thanks for the advice and thoughts.. Fly straight...

That is exactly what I use my mavic for is property surveillance. I put in security systems for the local farms in the area. We have 22 mountainous acres. 
on the balcony is the launch pad. I have way points programmed in and using a Nvidia K1 with HDMI out to watch on a large screen as it does its rounds to the extremes of the property and then returns. works nicely

It's also fairly flat with a 100ft high ridge bisecting the property. I've manually flown my Mavric Pro several times while I sat down on the ground outside my cabin at the opposite end of the property. I was able to fly it to the opposite end of the property and bring the drone down into a small clearing (50ft x 50ft) about 60ft off ground when signal meters show dangerously weak signal. I was very impressed by the performance. The wind was about 10mph. Battery life was great and allowed me to fly around not just go to end of property and return.

A Mavic would be perfect for your needs. I would even go for something half the price like a Phantom3 if you keep above the obstacles and don't need the distance.
