    1. Thanks for reporting this!

      How are you accessing it remotely (VPN, web proxy, SSH)? Does this happen in multiple browsers or just a particular browser?

          I am accessing it through remote.it.

          1. remote.it tends to perform worse than other cloud access providers. You can dial down the video settings or use an alternative provider like TailScale or ZeroTier. In my experience, TailScale performs well and doesn't have the latency issues.

            You could also try different web browsers, as different browsers might handle the stream better through remote.it.

            I'm exploring the possibility of building a dedicated remote access solution for TinyPilot. If you're interested in participating in the beta, make sure you're on the mailing list.

                Are there any instructions on how to set up remote access using TailScal?

                1. Tailscale's official documentation is pretty good:

                  https://tailscale.com/kb/1017/install/

                  You'll need to install Tailscale on both the TinyPilot and on the computer where you're connecting through the browser. To install on the TinyPilot, follow Tailscale's instructions for Linux > Raspberry Pi.

              is there a way to adjust the Frame/refresh rate?

              1. Yes, you can adjust the video settings to reduce latency. See this article for an explanation:
