Marine Hub - Web Cam Problem

Hello,

I'm new to raspberry Pi, but am trying to setup a computer to control a Marine Fish tank, and a part of that is to install a webcam to monitor the tank.
I've watched lots of tutorials on setting up a webcam with a raspberry Pi, and so far have managed to get it working from within my internal network. I have a static IP set on the Pi and Motion running on start-up. i can access the camera from my iphone when connected to my wifi and it works great.
The next step was to allow access from outside my network, so i opened up the required port and added the pi as a device on my routers settings.I followed a specific youtuve tutorial for this as i found one for my BT homehub router. As far as i can tell from the research i have done this should now work from outside the network, but it doesnt.
The port i am using is 8081, is there anything i am missing here? i have read about setting up a dns to be able to type in a web address to view the camera, but for the app i want to use this is not neccessary as i know the IP address.

Any help will be apprecited.

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
