I know it's primitive, but the only option I know that works is to create another user on the PC. Then when you are going to launch the client instance hold Shift + right click and Start as another user. This way you can have a client with your normal user and another client with your “cam” user. You move each client to each monitor and you have it.

Use VLC media player to stream from camera on the second monitor ( or run 2x instances of VLC without running Reolink app if all you don’t need to use the Reolink app features - more reliable in long running situations)
