I have 3 of these cameras for testing purposes and I must say I'm extremely happy with them, BUT.

Upon initial connecting to the network and receiving their IP/DNS configuration details from the DHCP - they seem to be stuck at this.

My DHCP - openWrt router - assigns IP for the duration of 1h.

It lists me the active DHCP leases - which is thus refreshed every hour.

I have in the network a few dozen laptops, servers, printers (WiFi Printing) 200+ mobile phones, 200 + school tablets, a huge network with 800+ pupils is here at the network and everything runs just fine.

Please don't give me unprofessional answers - I know how to setup a network, manage SQL databases, write in Assembler and C my own software, installing and managing OS - I fixed in the past DLL for microsoft no-one was able to find the error, etc.

So please no nonsense answers!

DHCP should work very simple: every 1h these cameras should renew the lease from the DHCP - but they don't!

After days - they're stuck with that IP address they initially got while using the app to register them to the network!
Cutting power off for 30+ minutes didn't force a renewal of the IP either.
in the TAPO App I've tried every option - I'd even would go for static IP - although I usually always set static leases as that's significantly easier to maintain for a big network.

But - although everything here runs fine, beamers, HikVision, laptops, phones, tablets, printers, servers, ....

These cameras seem to be extremely bugged when it comes to DHCP standards which mandata that every 1h they should renew.

So - how do we renew IP on these bugged cameras to force them to get a new IP - from the static leases pool.

Thank you in advance

Note: yes I can use my openWRT routers to see these cameras do NOT try to request a new DHCP lease. They do it the first time upon initial setup, and then they're stuck and don't request it every xxx seconds/minutes/hours as per DHCP standards.
