The Winnowl Lab Report
| Specification | Value | Rating | Vs. Average | Winnowl Insight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |
| Night Vision Range | 130 ft | Average | 18% better | Long-range infrared. Features high-intensity IR arrays that penetrate far beyond the standard residential range, ideal for dark rural lots. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
