Have a trigger zone around the turret and in `OnTriggerEnter()` check if user has pushed your `Use` button. If they have, make the player invisible (`GameObject.visible?`) by using `player.gameObject.active = false` and then switching the current `Camera` off and the Turret's `Camera` on. Then you need to write a script to control the turret

Edit: To make a trigger zone, go to GameObject -> Create Other -> Cube, resize the cube until it is the right size for your trigger zone, then on the box collider check `Is Trigger` and remove the `Mesh Renderer`. Then tag your player as `Player` and then you can check if your player walks into the trigger zone like this:

function OnTriggerEnter(collision : Collider) {
    if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("Player") {
       // Player has walked into trigger zone.
    }
}
