Husqvarna Automower 305 – On board camera

Automower 305Latest addition to my home is a robotic lawnmower. Mowing the lawn was something that I didn’t do often enough. Sporadic mowing with a loud gasoline powered lawnmower and lots of cut grass that I had no idea where to put it.

Husqvarna had a solution to this for a few years now. The decision was made. Newly released Automower 305, which covers up to 500 square meters of lawn is currently sitting in my back yard waiting for charging cycle to complete. Then it’s mowing time again. Over and over and over again, until I tell it to stop.

Nowadays almost every laptop comes equipped with the camera that is sitting a little bit above the LCD screen, staring at you. Desktops are a different story since monitors with built in cameras are not that common. Unless you’re one of those fruitcakes and you own the Cinema Display. However getting a camera isn’t all that difficult and you will be overwhelmed by the offer. Cameras connected to computers are mostly called webcams and they come in various shapes, sizes and prices. Prices range from $10 up to $100 and there is a real difference between $10 camera and $100 one.
