The setting for that is in Camara Settings - Path Options - Display Options.

An optional way to do this is using a pen for the camera that is the same as the background in the View its in.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n263Rkq1bBA

A trick to fake ArchiCAD to hide Cameras is to click the camera tool and activate either the VR object or VR scene, and the come out of the camera tool by pressing the ESC key without placing them, you cameras should now hide on plan view and when you want to see you cameras, just go the Camera tool again and then click on the perspective camera option to make them visible.

Srinivas, just to let you know, in AC15 there is no VR Scene and VR Object option anymore in the Camera Dialog.

Thanks Laszlo, haven't yet upgraded to AC 15 and hence missed that.
