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).
FYI, this QNAP enclosure is only USB 3.0.

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

edit

The OWC below is another great option.
might suggest an enclosure that supports Thunderbolt instead, such as the OWC modules

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