What I did was the following;

You maybe know you can do ssh -L or ssh -R to do port forwarding. In that 
case you can forward the local port 8081 (where the image server is 
located) to a different system.

I didn't test the following but you get an idea.

>From the camera:
ssh -R 8081:127.0.0.1:8081 yourserver

(this does give some major CPU overhead because of SSH, you might want to 
change the cypher)

On your server you can access the image server then by
http://127.0.0.1:8081/mimg (motion)
http://127.0.0.1:8081/bimg (single frame)


Hope that can point you in the right direction :)
