Step 2: Control your MERCUSYS cameras based on the below voice commands.

Currently, the MERCUSYS camera doesn’t support “camera on/off” command due to possible security risks. For example, an intruder could potentially shut off your cameras with a simple command.

*Note: “Device Name” is user-defined in the MERCUSYS app. If you change the name in Alexa, please use the name in Alexa in voice command. We recommend that you set up nicknames for your devices that are easy to remember and call.

The following are Amazon Alexa voice commands supported by the MERCUSYS smart devices at present.

The length of time you can stream the live feed on Amazon devices

Watching the live feed of MERCUSYS cameras through Amazon Alexa will use your internet traffic as it’s a Cloud-to-Cloud service. In consideration of your extranet traffic and performance, the live feed will stop automatically after 10 minutes. You can ask Alexa to show the camera again if you want to continue streaming.
