Voice assistant (via Alexa) on a dashcam. All behind a subscription paywall too. Eeeek.

Is it via Alexa, or is it:

GitHub - Picovoice/picovoice: On-device voice assistant platform powered by deep learning

I think Alexa needs a cloud connection to work, this doesn't.

as well as control smart home devices,

So now, the thief that breaks into your car, can ask your dashcam to turn off your house alarm and unlock your front door?

If you leave your car roof or windows down a little, they don't even need to break in, just ask the dashcam nicely to unlock the doors. Presumably you can unlock some cars that way too!
