The Winnowl Lab Report
| Specification | Value | Rating | Vs. Average | Winnowl Insight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Night Vision Range | 30 ft | Weak | 67% worse | Short-range perimeter lighting. These units are best suited for brightly lit urban environments or very small enclosed courtyards. |
| Resolution | 2 MP | Mediocre | 58% worse | Entry-level outdoor resolution. While 1080p (2MP) is sufficient for indoor use, the vast distances of a yard or driveway quickly turn low-resolution footage into a blurry mess. |
| Storage Capacity | 32 GB | Average | 91% worse | Sub-standard outdoor storage. Wired cameras are expected to handle more data; 64GB or less is a bottleneck that forces a reliance on expensive cloud plans. |
