ADAS camera calibration - Your safety is our first priority
What is the 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 observes the car's surroundings relying on cameras, radars, lasers, electromagnetic and ultrasonic sensors, and with this information the system allows the driver to be warned in case of possible dangers and takes control of the vehicle in case of potential risks.
With the development of the auto industry, more and more vehicles are equipped with the ADAS system, and vehicle manufacturers advise calibrating the system after changing the windshield so that the ADAS system in the vehicle functions adequately even after the glass is changed and ensures your driving safety by easier detection of road hazards and response to them.
If the system is not calibrated after changing the windshield, the driver is in direct danger on the road because the system in the car is not correct, and even the smallest change in the angle of the camera can affect the outcome of a traffic accident .

Camera calibration refers to the process of adjusting cameras and sensors associated with driver assistance systems (ADAS) after replacing a vehicle's windshield. These systems include functions such as lane keeping systems , collision warnings , adaptive cruise control, and the like.
Steps in the camera calibration procedure:
- Review and preparation:
• Our experts 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 appropriate tools and methods .
Our qualified technicians will perform the glass calibration in less than 20 minutes using the latest calibrator of the world-famous manufacturer BRAIN BEE, the first and only DIGITAL ADASA generation 2.0 with automatic entry of measurements into the system, which shortens the calibration time using fully automatic measurement.
Thanks to special laser meters that are directly connected to the diagnostic tool, Digital ADAS directly obtains all vehicle alignment parameters, enabling automatic calibration to be carried out in an extremely precise manner.
It is important to know:
Improper calibration of the system can send wrong or unreliable information, which can 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
• close proximity recognition sensor
• adaptive cruise control (Adaptive Cruise Control - ACC)
• automatic parking and many others
We will restore your vehicle to its original condition as it was before changing the windshield, following the manufacturer's instructions regarding the calibration system, and give you a certificate of correctly performed calibration.
If the system in your vehicle detects errors after replacing the glass, it is necessary to perform a calibration to continue safe driving.
