The Winnowl Lab Report
| Specification | Value | Rating | Vs. Average | Winnowl Insight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of Cameras | 2 cameras | Weak | 68% worse | Starter kit count. A 1-to-3 camera setup is a targeted solution, but usually insufficient for total perimeter security of a standalone house. |
| Resolution | 12 MP | Strong | 36% better | Elite industrial tier. Sensors in the 12MP-16MP range are over-engineered for standard homes but essential for massive properties and wide panoramic views. |
| Night Vision Range | 130 ft | Average | 18% better | Long-range infrared. Features high-intensity IR arrays that penetrate far beyond the standard residential range, ideal for dark rural lots. |
| Storage Capacity | 2,048 GB | Average | 18% worse | Residential storage baseline. 2TB to 4TB is the sweet spot for most homeowners, providing a solid safety net of historical data. |
| Number of Channels | 12 channels | Average | 10% better | Standard residential headroom. 8-channel units are the industry favorite because they allow a homeowner to start small and scale up over time. |
