Getting the hang of it

So I got Frigate set up on a proxmox server , it's an icore9 with 128GB of ram. Frigate runs in a docker on the lxc.

However there is a terrible delay when I view the cameras compared to tinycam. If I open tinycam on my android phone the feed is near instant. If the use frigate there is a 5-10second delay.
I'm using the RTSP feed and have been playing around with the frame rates etc but the delay is very noticeable.

I was just wondering is this expected behaviour and id be better sticking with tinycam for live viewing.

Thanks
 
Make sure you're using go2rtc, it's included in frigate.
If you just use the built-in detect stream, it gets decoded by frigate for motion, object detection and so there will be additional latency.
Go2rtc will let you restream the RTSP feed via webrtc, you should see much lower delays as the live mode will bypass frigate processing.
Are you using ffmpeg presets for hardware acceleration?

5-10 seconds is still a bit high, there might be some issue with buffering/decoding. What model of cameras are you using?
There are some camera specific docs that might help.
