RTSP streams never work, they always have several seconds of latency, and web browsers don't support them well if at all. Someone should invent a webcam that directly speaks WebRTC. Open a HTTPS connection and POST a SDP to get it started.

What? ONVIF is RTSP under the hood. Literally the entire professional surveillance industry is based on RTSP.
Yeah it all sucks. I've tried just about everything. Massive latency. Enough for a bad guy to get away in many cases. I've seen even upwards of 30 seconds. We really need WebRTC. Badly.
