ACTi EPR8A64000-NWS On-board Computer NO Windows 4K I7 8GB

Overview

The ACTi EPR8A64000-NWS is a fanless embedded surveillance computer built around an Intel I7 processor with 8GB RAM, shipped without a Windows operating system. This is a bare-metal deployment unit — you provision your own OS and applications, which makes it ideal for integrators who need to isolate surveillance workloads or embed the unit into custom appliances. 4K-capable hardware means it can handle multi-stream 4MP+ camera feeds without stuttering, a real advantage in environments where you're recording or analyzing high-resolution video from multiple sensors simultaneously.

Compatibility

The EPR8A64000-NWS integrates into any surveillance ecosystem that accepts standard x86-64 compute — this includes ONVIF-compliant NVRs, VMS platforms (Milestone, Genetec, Hikvision, etc.), custom Linux-based recording stacks, and edge analytics pipelines. Because it ships without an OS, you maintain complete control over the software stack: install a lightweight Linux kernel for headless operation, Windows Server for legacy VMS clients, or a custom embedded distribution. Verify driver support for your chosen NIC and storage controllers before deployment.

Installation Notes

Fanless design means no moving parts to fail — critical in dusty warehouse, outdoor kiosk, or embedded vehicle installations. However, passive thermal dissipation requires adequate airflow and clearance around the enclosure; do not mount in sealed cavities or directly against heat sources. Provide 12V or 24V DC power (verify PSU requirements against your specific configuration). No built-in mass storage — plan for either an M.2 SSD or compact 2.5" SATA drive, which mount internally. Network connectivity via standard Gigabit Ethernet; confirm switch PoE capacity if you plan to power the unit via injector or PoE switch port.
