Esp32 Cam Accessing without going through WebServer

Does someone know if/how you can just access the camera without having to go through the wifi or any type of host and simply have the view by connecting it by cable to my computer ?
I've seen a lot of tutorials on how to program Esp32 Cam, but they all make use of the wifi connection. Do you guys know a tutorial for my case?

Much appreciated !!

do you wish to transfer images to your computer?
if so what resolution?
how often?
what is the problem with using WiFi?

Not "simply", but it is possible to transfer the camera image data to the PC via a serial connection.

The idea is to detect objects and send the data to an arduino that will control a lot of simple actuators according to the data.
So resolution doesn't matter that much, ideally somewhat in real time, not crazy fps but enough to detect a passing by object and I just didn't wanna be limited to an area with wifi.

could you do the object recognition on the ESP32 and just send a message over USB serial to the PC?
how fast do the objects pass the camera?
how many different objects?
different sizes, shapes, etc?

Hmmmm, I reckon that would work, do you have any recommendations for a tutorial ?

try a web search for ESP32-CAM object recognition you should get plenty of links
