ADAS camera calibration - Your safety is our top priority
What is an ADAS system and why is it important for driving safety?
ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) is designed to ensure safety and comfort while driving.
The system detects the car's surroundings by relying on cameras, radars, lasers, electromagnetic and ultrasonic sensors, and with this information, the system allows the driver to be warned of possible dangers and takes control of the vehicle in the event of potential risks.
With the development of the automotive industry, more and more vehicles are equipped with ADAS systems, and vehicle manufacturers advise calibrating the system after replacing the windshield so that the ADAS system in the vehicle functions adequately even after replacing the glass and ensures your driving safety by easier detection of hazards on the road and response to them.
If the system is not calibrated after replacing the car glass, the driver is in direct danger on the road because the system in the car is not working properly, and even the slightest change in the camera angle can affect the outcome of a traffic accident .

Camera calibration refers to the process of adjusting cameras and sensors associated with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) after replacing a vehicle's windshield. These systems include features such as lane keeping systems , collision warning , adaptive cruise control, and the like.
Steps in the camera calibration procedure:
- Review and preparation:
• Our expert staff will inform you whether your vehicle is equipped with an ADAS system and advise you on the necessary camera calibration.
• Before starting the calibration, it is necessary to inspect the glass to ensure that it is correctly installed and that there is no damage that could interfere with the sensors. The vehicle should be placed on a level surface. - Physical calibration: This step involves placing special calibration tools or reference marks at specific positions on the vehicle. This enables precise measurement and calibration
- Software calibration: After setting physical references, software calibration follows. This is done using special software that connects to the vehicle's diagnostic tool. This software communicates with sensors and cameras to ensure they are properly positioned and aligned.
- Testing: After calibration, testing is performed to ensure that all systems are functioning properly and that the system is properly calibrated.
It is very important that this procedure is performed by a qualified technician using the proper tools and methods .
Our qualified technicians will perform glass calibration in less than 20 minutes using the latest calibrator from the world-renowned manufacturer BRAIN BEE, the first and only DIGITAL ADASA generation 2.0 with automatic measurement input into the system, which shortens calibration time through fully automatic measurement.
Thanks to special laser meters directly connected to the diagnostic tool, Digital ADAS directly receives all the vehicle alignment parameters, allowing the calibration to be automatically performed in an extremely precise manner.
It is important to know:
Incorrect calibration may cause the system to send incorrect or unreliable information, which may endanger driving safety.
If calibration is not performed correctly, systems may provide inaccurate information, which may lead to malfunctions or unresponsiveness in critical situations.
Properly calibrated systems allow advanced features such as:
• automatic braking system (Automatic braking system- ABS)
• Blind Spot Detection system
• proximity recognition sensor
• adaptive cruise control (Adaptive Cruise Control - ACC)
• automatic parking and many others
We will return your vehicle to its original condition as before the windshield was replaced, following the manufacturer's instructions regarding the calibration system, and will provide you with a certificate of properly performed calibration.
If the system in your vehicle detects errors after replacing the glass, calibration is necessary to continue driving safely.
