1. A method, comprising:
determining an identifier of a first geographic region in which a property monitored by a computing system is located;
causing, by a first application executing on a first endpoint device associated with the property, the identifier of the first geographic region to be evaluated against first content of a first datastore to determine that facial recognition processing is permitted within the first geographic region, the first content including identifiers of geographic regions in which facial recognition processing is permitted or is prohibited;
based at least in part on facial recognition processing being permitted within the first geographic region, causing the first endpoint device to present a user interface element that can be toggled between a first state corresponding to disablement of facial recognition for the property and a second state corresponding to enablement of facial recognition processing for the property, wherein the user interface element being in the first state causes the computing system to process image data acquired by a camera at the property to determine that people are represented in the image data but to refrain from performing facial recognition processing on the image data to determine identities of the people;
determining, by the first application, that the user interface element is in the second state; and
based at least in part on the user interface element being in the second state, causing the computing system to perform facial recognition processing on first image data acquired by the camera to determine an identity of at least a first person represented in the first image data.
