I suspect my new phone is spying on me?

1. Phone is idle
2. No app is allowed to access camera without permission.
I still see frequent notification(s) that camera is being accessed

@allsyed I can't find any information on what exactly Vigilante is. Is it a stock app? Stock Android is definitely tracking you, but randomly accessing your camera would be implemented on the OEMs part. Cause that's a hell of a lot of traffic and storage for something that 98% of the time will be the inside of a pocket, a ceiling, or maybe part of your face every now and then. Not worth obliterating your security by using a custom ROM on a phone that doesn't allow bootloader relocking.
