The Winnowl Lab Report

Specification Value Rating Vs. Average Winnowl Insight
Number of Cameras 4 cameras
Mediocre 37% worse 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.
Resolution 8 MP
Average 9% worse 4K Ultra-HD tier. This is the gold standard for wired systems, providing the high-density pixel data required for serious security and identification.
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.
