ASUS RNUC13ANKI70000UI NUC 13 Pro Slim Barebone Kit

Overview

The ASUS RNUC13ANKI70000UI is a compact, barebone mini-PC designed to serve as a robust edge computing platform for surveillance systems. It leverages a 13th Gen Intel Core i7-1360P processor, providing sufficient power for running VMS clients, analytics preprocessing, or acting as a dedicated recording server for smaller deployments. Its small form factor and VESA mount capability allow for discreet installation behind monitors or within equipment racks, solving the need for powerful, space-efficient compute at the edge.

Compatibility

This barebone kit requires user-supplied SO-DIMM DDR4 memory (up to 64GB across two slots, 3200MHz supported) and M.2 NVMe or 2.5-inch SATA storage drives. It is designed to run Windows 10/11 or Linux distributions. For surveillance applications, it is compatible with most VMS software that meets the OS requirements and can support network cameras via standard network protocols. Specific VMS software compatibility depends on the VMS vendor's minimum hardware specifications for their client or server components.

Installation Notes

Installation requires adding RAM and storage components. The processor, Intel Core i7-1360P, features 12 cores (4 Performance-cores, 8 Efficient-cores) with a boost frequency up to 5 GHz and 18MB cache. It supports dual-channel DDR4 memory for increased bandwidth, critical for smooth VMS operation. The dual storage design offers flexibility for OS and data drives, or a combination of OS and NVR storage for smaller setups.
