Take a look at [this](https://stackoverflow.com/a/42402661/6950238) answer. It's actual for DP 5.1. And read [that](https://github.com/androidthings/doorbell/issues/7) discussions. – Andrii Omelchenko Aug 25 '17 at 19:01

It's not possible over the CSI-2 interface and there is no USB camera support now (DP 5.1), but seems you can use several VC0706 UART cameras (up to 5: 1 - over UART of Raspberry Pi 3 and other 4 - over USB<->UART converters, which supported Developer Preview 3). Also you can use several SPI cameras, or even shields, like that (here is the overview). NB: in both (UART and SPI) cases you can't use normal API for image or video capture, you should implement camera (or shield) data protocol manually.
