Check out documenation at
https://docs.nvidia.com/video-technologies/video-codec-sdk/ffmpeg-with-nvidia-gpu/

Use -vsync 0 option with decode to prevent FFmpeg from creating output
YUV with duplicate and extra frames.
This seems to be the commonest runtime issue.

Try
ffmpeg -y -vsync 0 -hwaccel cuda -hwaccel_output_format cuda
rtsp_transport tcp -i "rtsp://admin:Pass1@192.168.1.1" -flags
+low_delay -vcodec hevc_nvenc -vf scale_cuda=1920:1080 -preset p2
-pix_fmt yuv420p -tune hq -rc vbr -vb 700k -maxrate  800k -minrate
200k -bufsize 800k -g 25 -acodec copy -strict -2 -flags +global_header
-f rtsp "rtsp://localhost:8000/stream"
