Have you looked at either ngrok or zerotier? Better options than above.?
Each open ports over a secure connection like a tunnel. You can look at
streams as well as stored files.

Definitely use something that creates a secure connection beyond just
the authentication method.? Either use the applications referenced by
others or use the TLS options built into Motion to create a https
connection.
Also make sure to heed the warning and disable the webcontrol (do not
forward that port). While general malicious intent/actions can be
minimized by using the webcontrol_parms, the webcontrol interface still
exposes the "quit" action which for your use case could be catastrophic
if invoked at the wrong time.
