also, if you use amcrest cloud, whatever settings you pick there will override your local camera settings.

yes , this is true... I learned this "bad thing" by personal experience.

Amcrest Support: Please answer the following questions:

Is the video the IP camera and the Amcrest servers sent in a secure encrypted format? Yes or no?

Hi,
In order to view your camera outside your home network you should do several things:
- connect camera to internet - wireless or wired
- in your router/modem to disable the firewall port for outgoing data so the firewall will not block your video.
- after above steps try to connecct from different loation. The camra provider should have the android application in order to view your camera online. Nowdays most of the providers do support this. Otherwise you can use the android web browser to access your camera and control it/ watch it.
You can check open cameras online live here as well:

There are different types of the cams there. I think you've got the idea.
Thanks

An even better way especially for multiple cams is to get BlueIris software set up on a PC at home and use that to serve the video for all your cams. Only downside is that you need to have the PC running 24/7 but a low power build suffices. The PC is also the DVR then. Like for a single cam you will need to forward the port for the BI server on your router.
