These are not NAS units, they are direct attached storage (DAS) enclosures.
You can use DAS as part of a NAS solution, but these are basically muti-bay drive enclosures.
In other words, these don't support RTSP because they are not network attached. These plug in via USB into another device (like a computer or NAS system).
Would recommend a USB 3.2 enclosure (10gbps vs 5gbps).
For example this one for $20 more:
Yottamaster Type-C 10Gbps 4 Bay Hard Drive Enclosure Daisy Chain, External Direct Attached Storage HDD Enclosure Support 4x18TB Capacity-Can Expand 2 USBC Devices for up to 216TB Capacity https://a.co/d/eFj2hgh

going from plain USB-C to Thunderbolt is a huge improvement in reliability
