Seen by camera can only be ON or OFF, the visibility tag enables you to keyframe a fade up or down if necessary.
Also be warned: If you do animate the visibility as a fade, you won’t see the fade in the editor window. You will only see it at 100% and then when you get to 0% it will disappear. In the render it will actually fade.
