Blue Iris

My current system has 14 cameras at HD resolution running on a Dell XPS 8700 and was set up 10 years ago. The PC is running Win 10 which is aging plus upgrading to Win 11 is iffy.

I'm looking to upgrade the system to use the following mini PC

It seems to match or exceed all the hardware requirements except for the graphics card. BI wants Nvidia, this has Intel UHD but is capable of driving three 4K displays. Seems good enough. Is it?

The camera input would come from the two external 8-port POE switches through the two RJ45 ports. Current PC shows transfer rate of about 40 Mb/s and these are both 1 gig so plenty there.

The old PC has 2 18 TB drives that are mirrored. I plan to move them to the following enclosure which also supports mirroring:

I'll connect using USB-C which has plenty of capacity. The current PC is writing at about 14 MB/s and USB-C far exceeds that rate.

I'll connect to the WAN/LAN through a USB 3.0 RJ45 wired network adapter or maybe the onboard WIFI.

Does anyone see any possible bottlenecks or issues with this configuration?

Thanks

I usually do an online comparison to see if a cpu upgrade is worth it. Since I'm presently using an Intel i7-8700k, I checked that against your new cpu here and your new cpu is faster than mine. I'm assuming that your cameras are 1080 rather than anything higher due to their age, so you should be fine.
My BI5 PC with 8 1920x1080 cameras and the Reolink doorbell at 2560x1920 looks underwhelmed in BI5 but CPAI will ramp that up:



I would be concerned about cooling with a small box pc, as BI5 can be quite power hungry, but then if your old pc could handle the load, it should be lower on the new pc.
You say BI5 wants Nvidia. It depends on what you are doing with the GPU. What did the old PC have ? If you are using it for hardware acceleration, then the Intel gpu should be fine, but then my findings are that using sub-streams meant I didn't need hardware acceleration any more so I turned it off. Are you using CPAI ? That would need an Nvidia gpu or one of the Coral devices for acceleration.
USBC may be a bottleneck if the OS decides to turn it off for power saving. BI5 will not like that. Are there any other interfaces available for hard drives on the new pc ? If not have a look at the USB port settings to keep it powered up.

Good luck
