Reolink could boost sales a LOT by finally fixing RTSP

As many folks know, the RTSP streams from Reolink cameras have lots of problems. corrupted data, stuttering where objects seem to slow down and speed up in a rhythmic fashion. This is seen across many generations of the cameras.

It looks like they've just not touched the implementation of RTSP for many years, it's using some old C++ library from extremely long ago. They focus their great development efforts on their own protocol and ecosystem. This neglect of RTSP is costing Reolink a lot of money!!

There's a huge community of camera users that want to use other NVR software that are then trash-talking Reolink. Blue Iris, iSpy, ZoneMinder, Frigate, Shinobi... All of these communities are filled with a general consensus to stay away from Reolink. And it's all because of this one RTSP issue. That costs a LOT of missed sales.

**REOLINK TEAM**: If you were to spend a few cycles and fix the RTSP streaming library, you would foster instant good will with a HUGE influencer audience. These folks don't only buy a lot of cameras themselves, but they are the most active in impacting decisions of their families, friends, and so many folks researching on the internet. This is a HUGE potential channel to boost your sales from just getting this one RTSP software issue fixed!!

If folks agree with this take, PLEASE UPVOTE so Reolink's community liaisons will see it and maybe better understand the gravity of the situation.

We get cameras that work with NVR. You all get more money. What's not to love??

Thank you!!
