How do you spy on your competition?

My wife got a me a drone a few months ago.  Our nephew has a 640 acre ranch and they use their drones to monitor the cattle, food and water supply.  The drone has a range of 6 miles and has a 4K camera.  There is a mobile home park that has cabins and furnished mobile homes about 1.5 miles away from my house.  They are my competition.   I pop a can open every evening, sit in the shade in my driveway, launch my drone and fly it over the mobile home park.  I fly it high enough so that it can't be seen or heard.  I count the vehicles in front of each property at the place.  Their occupancy is about 15%.  When I'm done spying, there is a button on my screen for Return To Home.  It flies directly back to where it was launched from and lands itself.
