ESP32-CAM connection without the USB device

  Arduino core for the ESP32

  

Once it's connected you use whatever programming tool you're building with. The Arduino IDE will work if you install ESP32 support. There'll be an option to upload firmware. I use PlatformIO from the command line; it has options to upload when you build firmware. Fundamentally these use esptool.py to flash the firmware to the board (it can also erase the board's flash storage, read it back, and do a few other things). You probably don't want to use it directly unless you absolutely have to; whatever build system you use should be easier to deal with.
