Drones are controlled by one or more control devices and comprise a respective camera for image capture. The one or more control devices perform a method including obtaining projected flight paths of the drones, obtaining a projected camera setting of the respective camera, computing, as a function of the projected camera setting, a projected viewing frustum of the respective camera, defining, for the drones, projected time-space trajectories of no-fly zones based on the projected viewing frustum of the respective camera, analyzing the projected flight paths of the drones in relation to the projected time-space trajectories for detection of a violation of one or more of the no-fly zones, and setting an operative flight path and/or an operative camera setting for at least one selected drone to prevent the violation.
