If your camera(s) provide you with a video stream URL, you can create .strm files to view them one at a time, then you can play them as video entries if you want. You can also craft a simple plugin that hardcode entries to point to these streams - if you have some basic programming skills, you can start from any existing video plugin and replace the logic where it pulls entries from a web address with your static addresses. Otherwise, a simple folder in a media source location with multiple .strm's is probably best (you can name them accordingly to know which is which).
See an older thread for a similar discussion.
