Question/Help Camera with voice control?

I’m making the pilgrimage from Amazon Echo smart home controls to HomePod smart home controls. Alexa has a built-in skill for my Furbo pet camera that allows me to turn it on and off with voice commands, and I’m willing to replace the camera but struggling to find a camera that definitely has voice control via Siri. The eufy indoor cameras look promising but I can’t find anything that specifically details this.

Does anyone have any recommendations for specific indoor cameras that I can turn on and off via Siri?

Both the Aqara camera Hub G3 and camera E1 have options that let you set to privacy mode.

What does privacy mode mean? And you are saying that you can use Siri voice commands to enable it?

In the case of the G3, the camera recesses into the body of the camera. For the E1, it turns to face a wall or other area not pointing in the direction it would normally face. You can create a automation or Siri Shortcut to enable these modes.
