Security camera privacy shutter

1. A method for a security camera privacy, comprising:

monitoring, at a security camera, a field of view for a first set of events, the security camera comprising an optical barrier;

detecting, via one or more sensors coupled with the security camera, at least one event of the first set of events;

verifying, via one or more sensors, an identity of an occupant of a premises using facial recognition based at least in part on detecting the at least one of the first set of events;

adjusting, by the security camera and based at least in part on the identity of the occupant, a position of the optical barrier to cover a camera lens of the security camera; and

activating a first visual indicator coupled with the optical barrier and configured to emit light in a first pattern based at least in part on adjusting the position of the optical barrier to cover the camera lens of the security camera, wherein the first pattern indicates that the camera lens of the security camera is covered by the optical barrier.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying an orientation of the optical barrier to obstruct or distort light from entering the field of view; and

wherein adjusting the position of the optical barrier to cover the camera lens is based at least in part on the identifying.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

activating, by the security camera, a first indicator coupled with the security camera based at least in part on adjusting the optical barrier to cover the camera lens.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the first indicator spans a configured time period, the first indicator comprising at least one of a visual or auditory indicator.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, at the security camera, a remote command for the position of the optical barrier;

determining, by the security camera and based at least in part on the identity of the occupant, the remote command is associated with an occupant of a premises including the security camera; and

wherein adjusting the position of the optical barrier to cover the camera lens is based at least in part on the determining.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the remote command comprises a visual command.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying, by the security camera, an activated setting of a security and automation system of a premises; and

wherein adjusting the position of the optical barrier to cover the camera lens is based at least in part on the identifying.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the activated setting is based at least in part on the first set of events or a static configuration of the security and automation system.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

detecting an initiation of communications between an occupant of a premises including the security camera and an administrator associated with the security camera; and

wherein detecting the at least one event of the first set of events is based at least in part on detecting the initiation of communications.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating, at the security camera, a notification based at least in part on adjusting the position of the optical barrier to cover the camera lens.

11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

detecting, via the one or more sensors, at least one event of a second set of events; and

adjusting, by the security camera and based at least in part on the second set of events, a position of the optical barrier to uncover the camera lens.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

activating, by the security camera, a second indicator coupled with the security camera based at least in part on adjusting the optical barrier to uncover the camera lens.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the second indicator spans a configured time period, the second indicator comprising at least one of a visual or auditory indicator.

14. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

receiving, at the security camera, a remote command for the position of the optical barrier;

determining, by the security camera, the remote command is associated with an occupant of a premises including the security camera; and

wherein adjusting the position of the optical barrier to uncover the camera lens is based at least in part on the determining.

15. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

identifying, by the security camera, an activated setting of a security and automation system of a premises; and

wherein adjusting the position of the optical barrier to uncover the camera lens is based at least in part on the identifying.

16. A computing device configured for security camera privacy, comprising:

a processor;

memory in electronic communication with the processor;

instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable by the processor to:

monitor, at a security camera, a field of view for a first set of events, the security camera comprising an optical barrier;

detect, via one or more sensors coupled with the security camera, at least one event of the first set of events;

verify, via one or more sensors, an identity of an occupant of a premises using facial recognition based at least in part on detecting the at least one of the first set of events;

adjust, by the security camera and based at least in part on the identity of the occupant, a position of the optical barrier to cover a camera lens of the security camera; and

activate a first visual indicator coupled with the optical barrier and configured to emit light in a first pattern based at least in part on adjusting the position of the optical barrier to cover the camera lens of the security camera, wherein the first pattern indicates that the camera lens of the security camera is covered by the optical barrier.

17. The computing device of claim 16 , wherein the instructions are executable by the processor to:

detect, via the one or more sensors, at least one event of a second set of events;

verifying, via the one or more sensors, the identity of the occupant of the premises using facial recognition, based at least in part on detecting the at least one of the second set of events; and

adjust, by the security camera and based at least in part on the second set of events, a position of the optical barrier to uncover the camera lens.

18. A computer-program product for security camera privacy, the computer-program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions thereon, the instructions being executable by a processor to:

monitor, at a security camera, a field of view for a first set of events, the security camera comprising an optical barrier;

detect, via one or more sensors coupled with the security camera, at least one event of the first set of events;

verify, via one or more sensors, an identity of an occupant of a premises using facial recognition based at least in part on detecting the at least one of the first set of events;

adjust, by the security camera and based at least in part on the identity of the occupant, a position of the optical barrier to cover a camera lens of the security camera; and

activate a first visual indicator to emit light in a first pattern based at least in part on adjusting the position of the optical barrier to cover the camera lens of the security camera, wherein the first pattern indicates that the camera lens of the security camera is covered.

19. The computer-program product of claim 18 , wherein the instructions are executable by the processor to:

detect, via the one or more sensors, at least one event of a second set of events;

verify, via one or more sensors, the identity of the occupant of the premises using facial recognition, based at least in part on detecting the at least one of the first set of events; and

adjust, by the security camera and based at least in part on the second set of events, a position of the optical barrier to uncover the camera lens.
