The condition you are talking about happens if the camera is picking up other lights. And the condition should by "if (P_Packet_Data.confidence > 80)".

Since the first post said the problem persists if a hand is in front of the camera then I do not believe that is the problem they are having. When I leave my hand in front of the camera for 3-5 seconds the search routing starts up again.
