Can I run iSpy on a Celeron?

Hi, newbie here trying to get a security camera (or two) set up with my neighbors in a small group of townhomes. I have a Dell Inspiron 3050 mini PC that I bought on black Friday 2 years ago. It acts as my home server with a USB hard drive attached for backups, and enough power to play movies to the attached TV. It runs a Celeron processor, although the newer Celerons are not as bad as the old ones! If I get a Wi-Fi IP camera that supports h.264 or h.265, can I use iSpy (or Blue Iris or similar) to record the video from the camera to an external hard drive? Or will the CPU be totally pegged trying to record that video? Thanks! Josh
