Followed the write up by @seanblanchfield and suffered from stuttering streams with the webrtc link.

Updated the PipUp APK to allow HTTP requests (Releases · desertblade/PiPup · GitHub). This APK allows using Frigate’s local mpjeg streams and other API endpoints, which all load near instantly. This build does not include the WebView changes which is not needed if using Local Frigate streams.

If you have a IoT subnet be sure to create a rule that will allow the IoT device to communicate with Frigate.
