Sounds like the setup for a Scifi novel.

"The drones lie in wait silently. The sun dips over the horizon. A lone IR led comes to life on the robots face. It is done waiting. It's prey is beckoning."

Take a look at the Ukraine conflict to see the future of adversarial drone tech. Most of the public stuff is FPV but I think it's extremely likely that there's also semi- or fully-autonomous units flying too.

For the stationary cameras to sense persistent movement that wants another camera angle on it. Skydio's focusing on the security/surveillance market and sells docking stations like GP is thinking.

Perhaps they could substitute for stationary security cameras. When incidents occur, you could track the target. Entertaining sci-fi.
