You could install ZoneMinder and set it up with your webcam. It will do recording and basic motion detection. You don’t have to mess with any docker stuff, it just needs a recent version of Debian or Ubuntu. If you want to access it from a phone, I would suggest using the zmNinja app since the web UI sucks on mobile.
Some actual CCTV IP cameras would be better than a webcam if you can still find any that provide an RTSP stream and don’t require any of that cloud crap.

Does zoneminder handle secure remote connections on it’s own somehow? Or will I need a separate solution to access my LAN while away?

Zonemider is accessed through a web interface. Just enable HTTPS and put a lets encrypt certificate on the web server. Of course if you don’t have a publicly accessible IP address, things get more complicated since you will need a VPN or some sort of tunnel.
