I have a great view outside my window at work and we can byod but no hard wired ethernet and no support for unauthenticated wifi devices. I was thinking about getting a cheap USB to ethernet adapter (cable, not wifi). I assume that would give me a second nic device in Windows that I can set a static 192.168.0.n ip address? If I use a crossover cable or a switch I should be able to connect the camera to my laptop and use Blue Iris?

Has anyone setup something like this?

Thanks,
Tom
