analyzing an image captured by a camera at a property to determine whether the image likely includes a representation of a person at the property, whether a face portion of the representation of the person is obstructed, and whether an identity of the person is unknown;
using a result of the analysis of the image, determining that the image likely includes a representation of a person at the property, that a face portion of the representation of the person is obstructed, and that an identity of the person is unknown;
in response to determining that the face portion of the representation of the person is obstructed and that the identity of the person is unknown, determining, using the data about the package, whether the person is likely a delivery person; and
in response to determining that the person is likely a delivery person, determining to skip providing, for output, a message informing the person to remove any obstructions from their face.
9. The system of claim 8 , comprising a touchless doorbell that includes the camera.
10. The system of claim 8 wherein the third party system is a system of a shipping company or a merchant website.
11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the touchless doorbell comprises a speaker that presents a different message about where on the property the delivery person should leave the package in response to determining that the person is likely a delivery person.

15. The system of claim 8 , wherein determining, using the data about the package, whether the person is likely a delivery person comprises determining that the package was shipped by a shipping company to the property.
16. One or more non-transitory storage media encoded with instructions that, when executed by one or more computers, cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from a third party system, data about a package;
analyzing an image captured by a camera at a property to determine whether the image likely includes a representation of a person at the property, whether a face portion of the representation of the person is obstructed, and whether an identity of the person is unknown;
using a result of the analysis of the image, determining that the image likely includes a representation of a person at the property, that a face portion of the representation of the person is obstructed, and that an identity of the person is unknown;
in response to determining that the face portion of the representation of the person is obstructed and that the identity of the person is unknown, determining, using the data about the package, whether the person is likely a delivery person; and
in response to determining that the person is likely a delivery person, determining to skip providing, for output, a message informing the person to remove any obstructions from their face.
17. The media of claim 16 , wherein the operations further comprises, in response to determining that the person is likely a delivery person, presenting a different message indicating a location to leave the package.
18. The media of claim 16 , wherein data about the package comprises tracking information for the package.
