So, when I installed Motion, I did it through Apt get install. For some
reason, that is only installing 4.0. Is there a way to force it to install
4.1.1?
I was concerned with port forwarding the individual cameras. Even though I
am putting in a username and password, it's not asking for one, when I
connect to those ports. I don't want my whole house on view for anyone who
stumbles upon my IP.

Hello,
I am a novice, I do not understand very well motion.conf
I'm trying my Raspberry with picamera and Motion. When it detects motion,
it creates a .jpg image and a .avi video
- the pattern of the file name jpg takes it from "camera1.conf"
picture_filename CAM1_% v-% Y% m% d% H% M% S-% q
- the pattern of the name of the avi file is taken from "motion.conf"
movie_filename video_% v-% Y% m% d% H% M% S
Nothing similar to "on_event_start" or "on_motion_detected" etc. is defined
in the configuration.
My question is: where is it defined that with motion detection make an
image and a video?
Thank you

It sounds like you're wanting to disable image and video creation. You'll want
"output_pictures" and "ffmpeg_output_movies". See the following for more
reference
https://motion-project.github.io/motion_config.html#output_pictures
https://motion-project.github.io/motion_config.html#ffmpeg_output_movies

Unfortunately apt often doesn't provide the most up to date version of things.
If you want, Mr-Dave builds release packages for common distros and systems.
Have a look at the second section:
https://motion-project.github.io/motion_build.html
As for the port forwarding/external access, my personal recommendation is to
not open motion to the external world at all; use the VPN. This is what I do,
though it does limit some viewing possibilities. Are you using the
"stream_auth_method", "stream_authentication", and
"webcontrol_authentication" config options? Definitely want those if you open
up motion to the outside.
