OpenCV still has no API to enumerate the cameras or get the number of available devices. See this ticket on OpenCV bug tracker for details.

OpenCV dropped the cvCountCameras() long time ago. It seems that multiple camera input is not the greatest point of the OpenCV lib. After all, it's a computer vision library, not a camera input library.

It seems that this lib http://www.muonics.net/school/spring05/videoInput/ (for windows) is preferred among computer enthusiasts as a video input layer. Give it a try.
