Question
How does the Automower 405VE NERA cope with parts of the lawn where satellite signal is poor?
Husqvarna says it uses its camera to help. The Husqvarna Automower 405VE NERA combines EPOS satellite RTK with an AI vision camera, and according to Husqvarna the two are fused so the mower can keep covering areas where satellite reception is weak, such as along a house wall or under trees.
That gives it an advantage over camera-free models such as the Husqvarna Automower 305E NERA, which rely on satellite positioning alone. Husqvarna doesn't publish how far the mower can travel on the camera without a good satellite fix, so very enclosed gardens are still a risk for any RTK-based mower.
Unlike the 305E and 320 NERA, Husqvarna's spec table lists only virtual boundaries for the 405VE NERA, not a boundary wire, so the wire isn't a fallback here. If a spot remains unreliable, a stay-out zone in the app is the practical fix. Our navigation guide explains how satellite and camera systems compare.
