You should use the Camera API with the right camera index:

Camera camera = Camera.open();
Camera.Parameters parameters = camera .getParameters();
parameters.set("camera-id", 2);
camera .setParameters(parameters);

Don't forget to set the permissions correctly:

<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />

Please note that in most cases it will be camera #2, maybe there is another automatic way to find out. You try this one for now. If I'll find something automatic I'll update the post.

And you can take the complete code from here (just replace the Camera.open): Camera Tutorial
