Provided are a method and system for detecting a UAV using a plurality of image sensors. A method of detecting a UAV includes detecting, by each of a plurality of detection image sensors, a UAV in a UAV detection area, transmitting, when the UAV is detected, position information of the detection image sensor detecting the UAV and distance information of the UAV to a classification image sensor, acquiring, by the classification image sensor, a magnified image of the UAV by setting a parameter of a camera of the classification image sensor according to the position information and the distance information, and classifying a type of the UAV by analyzing the magnified image.
