Dear Reolink,

could we get some traction on this? This is an absolutely wrong implemented network stack, devices with fixed IP addresses should not send our DHCP requests. In corporate environments this would be a no go.
For smart home usage, this also triggers issues (just experienced them) when other integrations (such as the home assistant reolink integration) are watching for DHCP discover broadcasts to find cameras - these would get the wrong IP addresses (e.g. https://[censored]/home-assistant/core/issues/91493)

If your devs really think this is required (even through this is the first device where I saw such a behavior), then please implement an option for another healthcheck method, such as pinging the default gateway continously or similiar).
