Camera constantly recording me.

The Face ID feature on my phone is off but my infrared light is constantly flashing. It also appears my phone is recording. I see these lights through my infrared home security camera.

however, the indicator lights made to alert me that my camera and microphone are operating are not coming on. I reset my phone to factory settings, now the indicator lights are working when I select record or video BUT when I’m not using my camera and these lights show up in my infrared security camera the exact same way. There’s no difference. I’ve turned on the video camera and turned out the lights and view led it through the infrared camera and it lights up weather or not I turned it on myself. Does this mean it’s always recoding me? Also this can’t be good for the eyes can it? Always having these lights flashing in your eyes?

since buying my phone I started seeing hundreds of tiny black spots. The eye doctor said the gel on the back of my eyes are tearing away causing me to see all these spots. Coincidence ?
