Camera recalibration

recalibrage-01

Essential with a windshield replacement

What is the purpose of the camera behind the windshield?

Does your car issue an audible or visual signal to keep you aware of speed limits, when you involuntarily cross a lane, when there’s another vehicle in your blind spot, or issues the emergency breaks to avoid a collision? Some of these functions are possible because of the camera behind the windshield.

Static recalibration

The vehicle is stationnary and fixed devices are installed all around the vehicle. The devices allows our technician to align your camera precisly with the help of targets.

Dynamic recalibration

The dynamic recalibration is done while the vehicle is moving, while on the road. Technicians use a portative device that allows them to see if the camera is well positionned in many scenarios. The road condition must be suitable for this type of testing.
