The Winnowl Lab Report

Specification	Value	Rating	Vs. Average	Winnowl Insight
Resolution	2 MP	Mediocre	49% worse	Legacy digital tier. While 1080p is easy on your Wi-Fi bandwidth, it is increasingly considered sub-standard for outdoor forensic identification in 2026.
Number of Channels	3 channels	Average	5% better	Standard consumer headroom. This range allows for the "essentials" of home security with enough expansion room for most standard residential lots.
Night Vision Range	70 ft	Average	29% better	Standard perimeter reach. This range is the residential benchmark for wireless units, offering reliable night-time security for the average lot.
Number of Cameras	3 cameras	Average	5% better	Residential standard. The 4-to-5 camera range is the industry sweet spot, providing comprehensive security without overwhelming typical home Wi-Fi bandwidth.
