First Claim
1. A method for displaying a video data stream captured by a surveillance module associated with an aerial vehicle during execution of a flight plan, the method comprising:
- displaying a timeline on a display device associated with the aerial vehicle, the timeline corresponding to the video data stream; and
displaying a first indicator on the timeline, the first indicator corresponding to a first waypoint of the flight plan, wherein the first indicator is positioned on the timeline such that the first indicator corresponds to a first segment of the video data stream at a first time, the first time being based at least in part on a position of the aerial vehicle.
