The Winnowl Lab Report

Specification Value Rating Vs. Average Winnowl Insight
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.
Night Vision Range 90 ft
Average Average Long-range night vision. Engineered with high-output IR arrays to provide visibility across large unlit lots or dark cul-de-sacs.
