Email clients (outlook) hiding / not rendering my images

I have a custom email template where I have an img tag that is being flagged by Outlooks security and does not render unless the recipient clicks okay, or disables the security setting. Is there a way to code an image into an email so it is not a security risk? I am using a php script that retrieves my correct image, is this the issue?

Outlook clients hide images by default and require the setting to be turned off for all or for the user to specifically mark the sender as 'safe'. Gmail also does this and there may be others.

Large companies enforce this in their networks for security reasons. The downside to this is many use their work addresses for mailing lists and personal accounts when they really shouldn't.

Don't try and circumvent this setting, it is there for a reason.
