Abstract
Systems and methods for secure video devices are provided. A video device includes a privacy module that can be automatically or manually activated to obscure the field of view of the video device. The video device also includes a visual indicator for indicating when the camera has been activated, in order to alert individuals within view of the camera that the camera is active. The system can automatically detect when a privacy breach occurs (e.g., if an unauthorized user gains access to the camera) and can automatically activate the privacy module in response to the detected privacy breach in order to obscure the field of view of the camera and maintain the privacy of individuals within the field of view of the camera.
