Camera app on lockscreen draining battery

When Apple added the "swipe right" to access the camera on the lockscreen, it had a terrible side effect. Basically, once you swipe right, the camera stays on until you swipe back. But with the sensitivity of the screen, it becomes super easy to accidentally swipe to the camera without knowing it. Then the camera drains the battery and you have a dead phone. Since there is no way of disabling the swipe right or the camera from the lockscreen without disabling the camera entirely, this becomes even worse. If I use the phone as an alarm, and accidentally touch the phone during the night, I wake up with a dead phone and no alarm.


Please, is there a way of disabling the camera (or at least the swipe right) on the lockscreen without disabling it entirely?
