The first Recon Camera location is on the shore opposite the northside of the small island in the middle of Loot Lake. The second Recon Camera can be found by going to the southside of this island in the middle of the lake.

For the third Recon Camera location, go southeast of the middle island to a hill overlooking the northern dock of Tilted Towers. Head directly east of this location to find the fourth Recon Camera near a clump of trees by a yellow house.

Start heading toward Coney Crossroads and cross the river to find the fifth Recon Camera location on a hill to the west of Coney Crossroads, overlooking the Tilted Towers IO Blimp. The sixth and last Recon Camera can be found by following the northwestern shoreline from the fifth location.

You can set up Recon Cameras in any order, and the challenge progress will carry over between matches. So, no need to worry about revistiting a location if you already set a camera up there.

After setting up three Recon Cameras, you will unlock the next stage of the Week 6 Resistance challenges which requires you to establish another Device Uplink, then kill an IO guard and deliver dead drop intel.
