The visitors grabbed the lead in the 33rd minute as Camara capitalised on a loose ball off a rebound from the defence to curl a shot from the edge of the box into the bottom right-hand corner.
Camara doubled the lead seven minutes later when he met Martin Satriano's cross right in front of goal for a simple finish before scoring his third from the penalty spot in the 60th minute to wrap up the three points.
