Upon replacing the windscreen, the camera usually needs to be recalibrated. Vehicle manufacturer's instructions are to calibrate the camera after windscreen replacement to allow for changes in position and angle.
Calibration is also required after a major damage repair on the vehicle body or after the levelling of front axle or rear axle has been modified. Like other sensors for ADAS, video cameras collect information far ahead of the car. Those high tech sensors need to be accurately aligned parallel to the geometrical axis of the vehicle. If the windscreen position differs just slightly after it was replaced, the viewing angle of the camera is likely to be incorrect. Since the camera clips cannot be adjusted, any deviation must be compensated by the ECU if the ADAS is to function correctly.
Guests from Autoglass / Belron of will give a presentation on ADAS calibration and the recalibration that is necessary following windscreen replacement or major damage repair on the vehicle body. They will also give a static calibration demonstration.
