The Winnowl Lab Report

Specification	Value	Rating	Vs. Average	Winnowl Insight
Number of Channels	2 channels	Mediocre	30% worse	Limited software tier. Systems with 3 or fewer channels are designed for targeted monitoring and lack the scalability needed for a full home network.
Number of Cameras	2 cameras	Mediocre	30% worse	Starter kit count. A 1-to-2 camera bundle is a great entry point for apartment dwellers but is insufficient for total perimeter security of a standalone house.
Night Vision Range	60 ft	Average	11% better	Standard perimeter reach. This range is the residential benchmark for wireless units, offering reliable night-time security for the average lot.
Resolution	4 MP	Average	1% better	Modern cloud standard. The 3MP-4MP range is the industry sweet spot, balancing high-definition evidence with reasonable cloud upload requirements.
