High and low on a bare minimum of all four corners.
I'd bet money (in small amounts) that the cameras are there, but fueling
was considered a low-risk preliminary and they weren't turned on!
There is no footage of the 1967 S-IVB-503 explosion for exactly that
reason: lots of cameras but they weren't running for routine prep work.
Mind you, those guys had a bit more of an excuse because those were film
cameras; with digital recording to hard drive, you aren't out money if you
routinely have the cameras running. But if nobody's really thought about
it, the tendency is still to start the cameras only when there's supposed
to be something for them to watch.
