The Winnowl Lab Report
| Specification | Value | Rating | Vs. Average | Winnowl Insight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Storage Capacity | 2,000 GB | Strong | 70% better | High-capacity archive. Essential for systems with 8+ cameras or those recording at high bitrates (4K), providing a deep digital paper trail. |
| 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. |
| 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 | 100 ft | Average | 11% better | Elite long-range IR. Designed for large unlit properties, these sensors throw enough light to monitor distant gates or outbuildings. |
| 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. |
