Accessing home network from the outside

WildBill I very much appreciate the response and quote.

Where I am still unclear about is if the usage of the Wyze cloud can be completely severed. Per this earlier thread

It seems like
1.) using an SD card
2.) setting event recording to “Detects Motion”
3.) Turning off Notifications, turning off Alarm settings, turning off triggers

Should make my set-up completely local. That’s what I’m trying to verify.
Secondly, if that’s the case, that it is totally local…still curious as to how I can view my camera feed when I am not on my home network. It’s just not adding up for me
