I'm evaluating BI, so I'm running on my 15 month old I5-NUC (haswell), to evaluate. I have no crashes after 8 days of continuous recording of 8 cameras ( network speed of cameras are : 5,3,3,2,2,2,2,2 Mbits/sec). Its MJPEG recording so these data rates stay close to rates I listed. Right now NEW,Alerts and storage is written to USB3 drive. BI is run as service using SSD drive, OS also on same, CPU utilization is 25% via 71 threads, TEMP is 48C, NUC Power is 5W, Freq is 1.3 GHz. NUC is quiet, USB drive not, but I'm evaluating. Goal is to add few more cameras and display on UHD TV infrequently when I get it. Its for home or someone elses. Big and ugly not considered.
NUC is very nice, I remember paying 3k for PC long ago, couple hundred bucks more for what I want isn't a big deal. Waiting for Skylake, then pull trigger.
