will on/off cycles help extend device battery life ?

i have a cheapo wireless camera that can run continuously for ~3hrs on 9v
battery.

looking for ways to extend the life of a 9v battery used in the camera ?
that is extend the length of battery replacement time ?

will on/off cycles, e.g. 5 sec on/5 sec off give an extended say 6 hours
operation or would on/off cycle be more draining ?

TIA
robb
