Enable the camera you want to show and disable all others camera.

camera1.camera.active = false; camera2.camera.active = true;

Don't only use the depth property of the cameras. If you don't disable other cameras you don't use, you'll have twice the draw calls.

your main camera will be the one with the lower depth.

Yeah it has /nothing/ to do with the camera's depth - it is always the first camera with a tag of $$anonymous$$ainCamera - it will be null if no cameras have that tag.

Now it seems that it is the Depth that tells which camera should be the main.
