webcam_port

• Range / Valid values: 0 - 65535
• Default: 0 (disabled)
• Option Topic

TCP port on which motion will listen for incoming connects with its webcam server.

Note that each camera thread must have its own unique port number and it must also be different from the control_port number.

A good value to select is 8081 for camera 1, 8082 for camera 2, 8083 for camera 3 etc etc.

Nothing built in as far as I am aware but it's quite easily done with the mod_proxy apache module and basic_auth.

You can use MjpegProxyGrab or a little example using mod_proxy on bottom on that page :
