The document proposes a solution called MobileDrone for continuously and aerially monitoring outdoor areas in an easy and affordable way using drones. It notes that while civilian drone use is growing, current options have limitations like short flight times, small monitoring ranges, lack of security, and needing multiple operators to control drones. The MobileDrone solution involves a charging station, automatic charging kit for drones, mobile app, and web app to allow encrypted control of over 100 drones from anywhere via mobile network. It aims to address problems with current drones like Parrot AR Drone models, which have short battery life, small range, open WiFi connection, need manual charging, and require learning to operate.
