[Config Support]: Duplicate snapshots during recording

[mitchell-pioneer]

Describe the problem you are having

I'm using MQTT to detect when the system detects new events. I have a python program that subscribes to MQTT events.

Im looking at the jsonMsg["after"]["id"] to detect a new image, but I'm getting many duplicates. It appears that duplicates occur while the system is recording the stream that triggered the snapshot. I thought that using the "after" would eliminate this, and only give me a snapshot when the recording has ended.

I created a simple workaround to detect duplicates in code, but im wondering why this is occurring.

In the logs I do see a messages about detection stuck

"Detection appears to be stuck. Restarting detection process"

But it only occurs once and not dor every duplicate found.
