I’m planning to switch my printers from Marlin to Kipper. Currently I’m running two Ender-3 S1 Pro printers both on Marlin and using Octoprint. Each printer has a camera. I’m working on buying a display for one of my Raspberry Pi’s and was wondering how to connect both cameras. The cameras are currently Arducam and connect directly to the Pi camera connection. I can always buy something else if necessary. Is it possible to somehow connect a camera that is displayed for each printer in Klipper? If so how?

Cameras aren’t handled by Klipper. They’re handled similar to Octoprint. You would use either mjpg-streamer or crowsnest, and the web frontend you choose would stream the camera. Generally any linux compatible USB camera or a PiCam will work.
