looks like you may want to add -extra_hw_frames 8 to the global_args https://stackoverflow.com/a/68061732

Thanks i modified the config to,

ffmpeg:
  global_args: -hide_banner -loglevel warning -threads 2 -extra_hw_frames 8
  hwaccel_args: preset-nvidia-h264
  output_args:
    record: preset-record-generic-audio-aac

The errors are now gone. However, there is a still a lot of tearing in the video feed.

This is how the camera is setup,
