iPad Air 4 front camera flickers purple lines in FaceTime

My new iPad Air front camera (so the small window showing me) flickers intermittently with purple horizontal lines, the other person on the end of the call also sees it on the window of me. Has anyone else experienced this? I’ve tried a hard reset of the iPad in case it was a software issue but that hasn’t solved it.

iPad Air, iPadOS 14

It was a hardware issue. I returned it through the apple support and they ran diagnostics and confirmed it was the hardware and sent a replacement product (I was within warranty).
