The Winnowl Lab Report
| Specification | Value | Rating | Vs. Average | Winnowl Insight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of Cameras | 4 cameras | Mediocre | 33% worse | Starter camera count. A 4-camera kit is a solid entry point but often requires strategic placement to ensure total perimeter security. |
| Resolution | 5 MP | Average | 19% better | High-fidelity surveillance. These systems provide superior pixel density, essential for large lots where cameras are mounted high and far from the subject. |
| Night Vision Range | 80 ft | Average | 11% worse | Professional night reach. This 80-90ft benchmark ensures that you can identify threats long before they reach the structure of your home. |
| 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. |
