Well that just sounds like you had two DHCP servers running. Turning the DHCP server setting off on the NVR should have fixed it. The NVR might have some proprietary protocol they send out for discovery with Reolink cameras which also trips a new DHCP lease for priority but that is just an assumption. You don't need a login to the camera for that and that's just normal layer 2 stuff. When it gets a new IP that wasn't reserved yeah your old system would lose its feed because it would be looking for the wrong address.

No security breach on Reolinks end as far as I'm concerned. This is a rouge DHCP server which is a separate issue if I'm understanding your statement correctly. That is a network security issue and where you'd need to start looking at DHCP snooping and the like for your switching or perhaps sticky port security for your VLANs. Not something I'd be super bothered with in a home system though.
