The Winnowl Lab Report

Specification	Value	Rating	Vs. Average	Winnowl Insight
Resolution	5 MP	Mediocre	43% worse	Professional residential standard. 5MP-6MP sensors provide a significant leap in forensic quality, perfectly balancing evidentiary detail with storage requirements.
Number of Cameras	8 cameras	Average	26% better	Residential standard coverage. A 4-to-7 camera kit allows for overlapping security zones, ensuring an intruder has nowhere to hide.
Storage Capacity	2,048 GB	Average	18% worse	Residential storage baseline. 2TB to 4TB is the sweet spot for most homeowners, providing a solid safety net of historical data.
Night Vision Range	100 ft	Average	9% worse	Professional perimeter reach. This 100ft benchmark ensures you can identify threats at the property line before they reach the structure.
Number of Channels	8 channels	Average	27% worse	Limited expansion. 4-to-6 channel systems are "fixed-capacity" units that offer very little flexibility for growing security needs.
