## Abstract

A method may include receiving, using at least one processor, location information that includes a location of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV); querying, using the at least one processor, a policy database to retrieve a notification condition for a first property with respect to UAVs; calculating, using the at least one processor, a distance between the UAV and the first property using the received location information determining, using the at least one processor, if the distance of the UAV with respect to the first property is within a range defined in the notification condition for the first property; and transmitting, using the at least one processor, a notification to a party associated with the first property when the distance of the UAV with respect to the first property is within the range defined in the notification condition for the first property.

## Claims

### Claim 1

At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage device comprising instructions for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) detection, which when executed by a machine, cause the machine to:
identify, based on information from one or more sensors including a camera sensor, a UAV, wherein the information includes images from the camera sensor and wherein the identification of the UAV includes performance of image recognition by analysis of the images from the camera sensor;
determine, based on the information from the one or more sensors, a location of the UAV;
determine, based on the location of the UAV, the UAV is located within a region; and
transmit a notification to a party associated with the region in response to the determination that the UAV is within the region.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage device of claim 1, wherein the notification is a Short Message Service (SMS) message.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage device of claim 1, wherein the notification is an email.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage device of claim 1, wherein the notification is to be displayed in a user interface of an application.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage device of claim 1, wherein the notification is to be displayed on a website.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage device of claim 1, wherein the one or more sensors includes an audio sensor.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage device of claim 1, wherein the one or more sensors includes an infrared sensor.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage device of claim 1, wherein the instructions, when executed by the machine, cause the machine to:
store forensic evidence for the UAV in a UAV information database.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage device of claim 1, wherein the instructions, when executed by the machine, cause the machine to identify the UAV as malicious.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage device of claim 1, wherein the one or more sensors include two or more sensors of different types and the determination of the UAV location is based on information from a combination of the two or more sensors of different types.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage device of claim 1, wherein the instructions, when executed by the machine, cause the machine to:
calculate an approach of the UAV; and
track a flight path of the UAV.

### Claim 12

A system for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) detection, the system comprising:
a network interface device;
at least one processor; and
a memory device including instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
identify, based on information from one or more sensors including a camera sensor, a UAV, wherein the information includes images from the camera sensor and wherein the identification of the UAV includes performance of image recognition by analysis of the images from the camera sensor;
determine, based on the information from the one or more sensors, a location of the UAV;
determine, based on the location of the UAV, the UAV is located within a region; and
transmit, via the network interface device, a notification to a party associated with the region in response to the determination that the UAV is within the region.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The system of claim 12, wherein the notification is a Short Message Service (SMS) message.

### Claim 14 (depends on 12)

The system of claim 12, wherein the notification is an email.

### Claim 15 (depends on 12)

The system of claim 12, wherein the notification is to be displayed in a user interface of an application.

### Claim 16 (depends on 12)

The system of claim 12, wherein the notification is to be displayed on a website.

### Claim 17

A system for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) detection, the system comprising:
means for identifying, based on information from one or more sensors including a camera sensor, a UAV, wherein the information includes images from the camera sensor and wherein the identification of the UAV includes performance of image recognition by analysis of the images from the camera sensor;
means for determining, based on the information from the one or more sensors, a location of the UAV;
means for determining, based on the location of the UAV, the UAV is located within a region; and
means for transmitting a notification to a party associated with the region in response to the determination that the UAV is within the region.

### Claim 18 (depends on 17)

The system of claim 17, wherein the notification is a Short Message Service (SMS) message.

### Claim 19 (depends on 17)

The system of claim 17, wherein the notification is an email.

### Claim 20 (depends on 17)

The system of claim 17, further comprising:
means for storing forensic evidence for the UAV in a UAV information database.
