Indoor Home Security Cameras

Performance: Average (48)
Value: Fair (74)
Brand Strength: Average (57)
Winnowl Insight: This Average Performance rating is powered by the Night Vision Range (40 ft), indicating you should find this camera capable of monitoring massive open floor plans or large indoor shops with ease, while the Resolution of 1 MP can sometimes mean you will likely find the image becomes a pixelated mess if you try to digitally zoom in on a face or a specific object across the room.

Outdoor Wired Home Security Cameras

Performance: Average (35)
Value: Exceptional (100)
Brand Strength: Average (57)
Winnowl Insight: This Average Performance rating is powered by the Night Vision Range (98 ft), indicating you should effectively illuminate deep dark corners of your property that would leave standard cameras completely blind, while the Resolution of 2 MP can sometimes mean you will likely find it difficult to read a license plate or identify a stranger’s face once they move beyond your immediate porch or entryway.
Performance: Mediocre (26)
Value: Exceptional (100)
Brand Strength: Average (57)
Winnowl Insight: At 40% below the class average, this unit's Mediocre rating is a byproduct of specific spec trade-offs. Most notably, the 30 ft Night Vision Range serves as a ceiling on Performance, which you will likely only be able to monitor your immediate doorstep, as anything near the sidewalk or street will disappear into total darkness.
