System and method for securing electronic devices
Embodiments disclosed herein include security systems and methods for securing an electronic device. In some embodiments, the security system may include an electronic device including surveillance components, including a microphone and a camera. The security device may be secured to the electronic device in a way that blocks or interferes with one or more of these surveillance components. Additionally, the security device may be placed near or on the electronic device. The security device may also include security components to distort sounds from a sound source to be detected by the microphone. As a result, this may prevent third parties from at least remotely streaming or recording live audio and/or video from various audio and video recording components present on the electronic device.
1. A security system for securing an electronic device comprising a first device component, the security system comprising:
a security device secured to the electronic device;
wherein the security device comprises security components configured to prevent the first device component from receiving input;
wherein the security device covers or envelopes selected areas of the electronic device.
2. The security system of claim 1 , wherein the electronic device comprises at least one of an intelligent automated assistant device, a wireless phone device, a tablet computer, a computer configured with a webcam, a doorbell device, a thermostat device, a video recording device, a television, and a voice recorder;
wherein the electronic device is connected to an internet.
3. The security system of claim 1 , wherein the first device component comprises a first microphone.
4. The security system of claim 3 , wherein the security components distort sounds from a sound source to be detected by the first microphone.
5. The security system of claim 3 , wherein the security device comprises a second microphone and speech recognition software to enable voice activation control.
6. The security system of claim 5 , wherein the security device is configured to disable the first microphone of the electronic device upon detecting a first voice command via the second microphone of the security device.
7. The security system of claim 6 , wherein the security device is configured to enable the first microphone of the electronic upon detecting a second voice command via the second microphone.
8. The security system of claim 6 , wherein the first voice command comprises a voice command to enable the security system.
9. The security system of claim 7 , wherein the second voice command comprises a voice command to disable the security system.
10. The security system of claim 1 , wherein the electronic devices comprises a video recording component.
11. The security system of claim 10 , wherein the security device is configured to block the video recording component of the electronic device upon detecting a first voice command via the second microphone of the security device.
