@Frajzee If by “when my camera hits them” you mean when they’re visible in your screen, you could use the OnBecameVisible() method. There’s 2 ways that you could use: deactivate your game object or cancel the shoothing mechanic while invisible. I strongly recommend you to cancel the shooting mechanic by just using a bool variable.

Simply write this inside your turrets C# script:
*

private bool canIShoot = false;

public void Update
{
       // Your shooting code will depend on the canIShoot variable
      if (canIShoot)
      {
              // HERE: your shooting code
      }
}

public void OnBecameVisible()
{
      // If you want your turret to literally be inactive
      yourTurretObject.SetActive(true);

      // If you want to disable the shooting interaction
      canIShoot = true;
}

public void OnBecameInvisible()
{
      // If you want your turret to literally be inactive
      yourTurretObject.SetActive(false);

      // If you want to disable the shooting interaction
      canIShoot = false;
}
