There are 'Powerbanks' with USB-C PD output, they can also negotiate higher voltage. If you connect a good USB-C cable between such a bank and PI5, it should work. I myself have only simple 2S ones with microUSB and USB type A. Work for Pi0 ESP Arduino, but for camera I noticed a bit higher than 500mA current drawn.
If you only want security camera (streaming) the Pi5 is a bad choice. My 1080p commercial cameras use 2W daylight, at night 5W more due to IR LEDs. A Pi5 also has no video encoder in HW, so use a Pi4 or older. Pi0/1 cannot really do 1080p30 via libcamera, it can via old stack. A 4-core Pi can do.
