Port for Security Cameras

I have a Cisco ASA firewall and domain environment.  I am installing a few cameras with DVR.  To access over the internet with apps, should I use the default port 80 and is there any risks in that.

Are you hosting a web site with port 80?

I used another port and then setup a port forwarding rule on the router

Any one who needs access just needs to know the port number

I also created a dns record for the cameras so they do not need to know the ip address

I only host outlook web access on port 80.  I have 10 static ip's so I use port 80 on another ip to view the cameras.  I was just wondering if there is any magic to any other port number that would be better.

Would just be easier for outsider to gain access with port 80
What port number do you suggest ?
