The camera receives visible light and infrared light. The processor carries out facial recognition authentication using the infrared light received by the camera. The shutter includes a filter to block visible light and allow passage of infrared light. The shutter is selectively movable to a filtered position, wherein the filter is superimposed over the camera to block visible light and allow infrared light to reach the camera for the facial recognition authentication.
