That depends on where the cameras are and do they have a warrant.
If the camera is on public location and is directed to shoot the streets and not to people's homes, then they are not considered invasion of privacy.
If the camera-operator is an agent of police and has a warrant to pry a private home, then the prying is part of an ongoing investigation and must aim to a legal action to catch a criminal.
