I’m using Wowza to restream content from an IP camera (setup using guide [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-re-stream-video-from-an-ip-camera-rtsp-rtp-re-streaming](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-re-stream-video-from-an-ip-camera-rtsp-rtp-re-streaming)). I’ve set up Wowza’s instance ami-9d5069e9 using aki-64695810 on EC2 devpay account.

When I connect some player to this instance using RTMP, like JWPlayer or FlowPlayer, it’s takes around 40 seconds before video starts. This can be seen on my test webpage [http://h2sa2004.mhlabs.net/h2sa2004/Test.aspx](http://h2sa2004.mhlabs.net/h2sa2004/Test.aspx)

The server public DNS is: [ec2-50-17-150-83.compute-1.amazonaws.com](http://ec2-50-17-150-83.compute-1.amazonaws.com)

Stream name is: killruddery.steam

Now this lag is really something making the solution impractical. I need some way to remove this.

Take a look at this guide:

[https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-low-latency-applications-in-wowza-streaming-engine-for-rtmp-streaming](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-low-latency-applications-in-wowza-streaming-engine-for-rtmp-streaming)

You may just have to increase the FPS setting.
