By "unmarked" they mean it doesn't have a corporate logo. It'll have plates and shit. Who's required to have what markings on what vehicles varies from location to location, I'm not looking that up for this case, are you?
As far as the contract, it certainly gives them permission to access the campus in order to maintain the cameras, including removing foreign objects which obscure the view blah blah blah, why else would they have a contract? It'll also indemnify them from acts of god like lightning striking the pole while a student is using it to reenact a scene from a stripper movie. And no doubt it would also give them the right to seek some kind of redress from the school for covering the cameras, as they spent some money to put them in there and expect the data to flow, but they certainly don't need that kind of negative publicity.
Since they didn't just remove them, I would imagine that the school didn't have a contract that allowed them to require their removal for other than safety reasons.
