Windshield Camera Calibration Process Hempstead

Here's Exactly What Happens During Calibration

First, we verify your vehicle’s make, model, and specific ADAS features. Not all systems calibrate the same way, and we use manufacturer-specific procedures for your car.

We connect our calibration equipment to your vehicle’s diagnostic port and position specialized targets at precise distances. For static calibration, your car stays stationary while we align the cameras using computer-controlled targets. Some vehicles require dynamic calibration, where we drive your car at specific speeds on well-marked roads.

The entire process typically takes 1-2 hours depending on your vehicle’s requirements. We test all systems afterward to ensure everything functions exactly as your manufacturer intended. You get documentation showing the calibration was completed to factory specifications.
