The Winnowl Lab Report
| Specification | Value | Rating | Vs. Average | Winnowl Insight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Resolution | 2 MP | Mediocre | 52% worse | Standard HD tier. While 1080p (2MP) is common in budget bundles, it represents the lower limit of what a centralized wired system should provide in 2026. |
| Night Vision Range | 65 ft | Mediocre | 28% worse | Standard IR reach. Best suited for smaller lots where the primary focus is on the house itself rather than the far property line. |
| Number of Cameras | 8 cameras | Strong | 34% better | Comprehensive residential coverage. 6 to 8 cameras allow for overlapping fields of view, ensuring there are no hidden paths for an intruder. |
| Storage Capacity | 1,000 GB | Average | 15% worse | Residential storage baseline. 1TB-2TB is the standard "insurance" level for most homeowners, providing enough buffer to review recent incidents. |
| Number of Channels | 8 channels | Average | 6% worse | Standard residential headroom. 8-channel units are the industry favorite because they allow a homeowner to start with 4 cameras and grow over time. |
