Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, are described for performing privacy-aware surveillance with a security camera drone. The drone obtains image data using an imaging device and processes the image data to detect an object external to the drone. In response to processing the image data, the drone determines multiple viewing angles indicated in the image data with respect to the object. Based on the image data and the multiple viewing angles, a first section of the area for surveillance and a second, different section of the area to be excluded from surveillance are identified. The drone determines an adjustment to at least one of the multiple viewing angles to cause the second section to be excluded from surveillance. Based on the adjustment, the drone controls the imaging device to exclude the second section from surveillance imagery obtained by the drone.
