Will Blue Iris work on this NVR?

Bought this thing off eBay. It's a regular computer running an Intel J6426 (4 core 4 thread 2.00GHz, Turbo 3.00GHz) with 16GB of ram. It has 2 independent 8 port POE switches which get their own network port from the computer. I have verified that everything works (with one cam anyway). I'll have a total of 10 cams hooked to this thing. My concern is it may not be beefy enough for Blue Iris. I checked the system requirements for BI and they're as clear as mud. All opinions appreciated. Thanks.

PS - It's a NEXCOM NVIS 14162
 
What OS is it running, when I look at the processor benchmarks it is way down low on the list, I suspect that it might struggle with 10 cameras, are you hoping to run AI also?
The J6428 has a single thread score of only 490, I am running an AMD Ryzen 7 8700G which has a score of 2649, other may have a better idea if it has sufficient capabilities?
I guess since you already have it you could just try and see how it works with more cameras, what is the CPU load that BI shows with only 1 camera running?
Processor Benchmarks - Geekbench

Thanks, yea, Google AI said pretty much the same thing. said it would run but would struggle. I've decided not to use it for BI. I was dirt cheap, $40 brand new factory sealed so I'm not out much. I'll repurpose it for another use. I'm currently running BI on a Xeon E3 1270v4 and it handles BI and the cams OK. One of the cams is 4K and AI so I doubt this cheap box could handle it, let alone the rest of them.

You could possibly use it to run UI3 for remote viewing
