The Winnowl Lab Report
| Specification | Value | Rating | Vs. Average | Winnowl Insight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Resolution | 12 MP | Exceptional | 152% better | Elite forensic tier. Professional-grade resolution (12MP+) is designed for mission-critical areas where missing a single pixel of detail is not an option. |
| Night Vision Range | 100 ft | Average | 11% better | Long-range night vision. Engineered with high-output IR arrays to provide visibility across large unlit lots or dark cul-de-sacs. |
| Storage Capacity | 0 GB | Average | 100% worse | Sub-standard outdoor storage. Wired cameras are expected to handle more data; 64GB or less is a bottleneck that forces a reliance on expensive cloud plans. |
