It was precisely this reason why I bought the exact camera recommended by the Frigate project, instead of a Reolink, even though the latter was probably cheaper, and much more often mentioned by the community (both here and at Frigate).
As already mentioned, I often see Reolink mentioned by people who seem to be using them just fine. However the Frigate developers specifically recommend against them, I guess because of issues as mentioned above (in first reply).
Some times I wonder if I spent too much money (on the Frigate recommended camera, which is not a Reolink) unnecessarily.
Probably because they are doing some secret sauce to get the streams to work more reliably. You could instead just buy some PoE (wired) cameras (which have good support for standardized protocols), and do whatever you want. There are many reasons why Wi-Fi cameras are recommended against by anyone serious about implementing a quality and reliable IP camera system. Essentially wireless cameras are consumer oriented trash which inevitably have some trade-offs due to the inherent nature of the technology. But they are “convenient” which is all that the muppets seem to care about.
Not trying to imply you are a muppet, in fact it is entirely possible you have some legitimate use case. However the marketing of crappy solutions to consumers (who may not know any better, and don’t inform themselves) is something that grinds my gears a bit. Apologies if you were innocently caught in the cross-fire.
I don’t shop at convenience stores, either, and yet they are on every corner, Now get off my lawn. 
Thanks a lot Guise, this seems like exactly the information I have been looking for (since months now, in fact).
Just to be sure, you are saying that no modern (currently sold) Reolink cameras suffer from this any longer? And have not since some years now?
