Can I get away with a 5th gen i3 Intel NUC for single camera?

Hello, I bought an Amcrest 8mp / 2.8mm some time ago and wanted to finally install it. I believe it's a Dahua 2499 turret (1/2.5” 8 Megapixel progressive scan STARVIS CMOS).

I have an Intel NUC i3-5010U (5th Gen) and I would run Blue Iris or Frigate. I would need to connect the recording hard drive as an external USB.

The camera and NUC would be connected through a small POE switch.

Doable?
