A system using a computer for automatically detecting and cataloging items or assets at a location or property, which comprises:

• a computer system comprising;
• a computer processor, a computer-readable storage medium, and program instructions stored on the computer-readable storage medium being executable by the processor, to cause the computer system to perform the following functions to;
• capture, using a computer and using multiple techniques and corresponding devices, data about an item of a plurality of items in a defined location, for cataloging the item;
• determine, using the computer, when the data meets threshold criteria for identification of the item and completing an identification of the item when the data meets the threshold criteria;
• determine when the item meets asset criteria for being cataloged as an asset, in response to the item meeting the threshold criteria for identification of the item and thereby the identification being completed;
• gather metadata about the asset, in response to meeting the asset criteria;
• and
• catalog the asset with the data and the metadata.
