Assuming it's Alexa compatible, there's most likely something in the manual that tells you exactly what to say. I have Blink cameras in my garden, each one is named and I just ask Alexa to 'ask Blink to open X camera'. It only shows clips though, it doesn't activate the camera for a live view. Anywhere close to the answer you need?

strayfish, yes, thank you.  do you know of a device that will show a live cam feed like that?

No I don't but as I can get live views on my phone or iPad that's a minor inconvenience. Would be a nice feature though.
