VLOS (visual line-of-sight) requirements may make this tricky, as these UAVs can be seen only up to about 1/4 mile away with the naked eye.
A big help is a strobe (battery powered, rechargeable). You can see the drone for about 1/2 mile (maybe more) with one of those strobes on the bottom. Just FYI.

Anyone flying anything else at that altitude over my property get swhat they get…
