   camera2.enabled = false; 
}

   if (Input.GetKeyDown ("2")){ 
      camera1.enabled = false; 
      camera2.enabled = true; 
   } 
   if (Input.GetKeyDown ("1")){ 
      camera1.enabled = true; 
      camera2.enabled = false; 
   }

CSharp- SwitchCamera.cs

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
 
public class SwitchCamera : MonoBehaviour {
 
	public Camera camera1;
	public Camera camera2;
 
	void Start () {
		camera1.enabled = true; 
		camera2.enabled = false; 
	}
 
	void Update () {
		if (Input.GetKeyDown("2"))
		{
			camera1.enabled = false;
			camera2.enabled = true;
		}
		if (Input.GetKeyDown("1"))
		{
			camera1.enabled = true;
			camera2.enabled = false;
		}
	}
}

More cameras

The scripts below use arrays to store as many cameras as wanted. The script must be placed on a camera for the controls to be displayed.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
 
public class SwitchCameras : MonoBehaviour {
 
	public Camera[] cameras;
	private int cameraIndex = 0;

		SelectCamera(cameraIndex);
	}
 
	void OnGUI()
	{
		if(GUI.Button(new Rect(Screen.width - 120, 20, 100, 100), "Next >>"))
		{
			if(cameraIndex >= cameras.Length - 1)
				cameraIndex = 0;
			else
				cameraIndex++;
 
			SelectCamera(cameraIndex);
		}
 
		if(GUI.Button(new Rect(20, 20, 100, 100), "<< Prev"))
		{
			if(cameraIndex <= 0)
				cameraIndex = cameras.Length - 1;
			else
				cameraIndex--;
 
			SelectCamera(cameraIndex);
		}
	}
 
 
	void SelectCamera(int idCamera)
	{
