Unfortunately covering a portion of the lens is also personally risky for me. Thankfully my wife is not technically savvy so she hasn't forced the issue on being added to the account which allows access to the camera's view, but she often asks me to send her recordings if she hears something or wants to see what the kids got up to in the yard. I can probably get away with it a few times by just saying the camera didn't record anything but she'd get suspicious if it's constantly "missing" events.
I also can't really just swap a cover on and off constantly as the camera had to be mounted on my roof to see over a hedge so I need to drag out the ladder anytime I need to make an adjustment to the camera.
