Camera being activated by itself / Privacy concerns

Why would the green light come on signifying my camera has been activated didn’t go off? This is happened three or four times in the past month it comes on quickly then it disappears quickly. There is zero access to my camera or photos in privacy control. I’m very concerned my privacy is being violated and no one can give me an answer at Apple. No one has access through the privacy controls so why is this happening!!!???

iPhone 12, iOS 14

It's unlikely to be of concern for a second or so, mine has done it.

Here is Apple's help
