Every frame?
How about........putting it in the main loop? It loops through successive frames.
while(device->run()) {
BeginScene etc.
...
EndScene etc.
--> xyz = camera->GetAbsolutePosition etc.
}

You can call it from anywhere where you can get access to the camera object.
If you have a global variable for the camera object you can access that variable in the OnPostRender function of any object (enemy node?) if you like.
