The Winnowl Lab Report
| Specification | Value | Rating | Vs. Average | Winnowl Insight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Storage Capacity | 0 GB | Weak | 100% worse | Storage bottleneck. Sub-1TB drives are insufficient for multi-camera wired systems and force a high reliance on motion-only recording. |
| Number of Cameras | 8 cameras | Strong | 34% better | Comprehensive residential coverage. 6 to 8 cameras allow for overlapping fields of view, ensuring there are no hidden paths for an intruder. |
| Resolution | 5 MP | Average | 19% better | High-fidelity surveillance. These systems provide superior pixel density, essential for large lots where cameras are mounted high and far from the subject. |
| Night Vision Range | 80 ft | Average | 11% worse | Professional night reach. This 80-90ft benchmark ensures that you can identify threats long before they reach the structure of your home. |
| Number of Channels | 8 channels | Average | 6% worse | Standard residential headroom. 8-channel units are the industry favorite because they allow a homeowner to start with 4 cameras and grow over time. |
