A system and method for autonomous drone-based package reception and surveillance of the present invention. In accordance with the inventive method, an at least partially enclosed chute is provided with dimensions sufficient to receive packages. A platform is mounted within the chute to receiving the packages. A mechanism is provided to move the platform from a first position within the chute to receive the packages to a second position within the chute to deliver the packages. In the best mode, the platform is a second drone. Multiple drones, equipped with wireless transceivers, cameras, lasers, lights, detectors and even weapons are networked to provide perimeter security. The chute includes a door secured with a wireless latch activated by a system controller. One or more identification symbols, such as QR codes, bar codes, symbols etc. are provided on the door to be read by the airborne delivery vehicle. Nodes are included for charging the airborne delivery vehicle and the site-based drones as well. The deployment of the nodes within the chute is controlled by the site-based drones. An optional scale is provided in the platform for weighing package upon delivery. The system is adapted for operation via a smartphone.
