Night Vision & Camera Calibration Services in Swindon

If your vehicle has had a windscreen, bumper, sensor or camera replaced, it’s essential to recalibrate any associated night vision and camera-based driver assistance systems.

At VGS Performance, we carry out precise camera calibration on a wide range of Volkswagen Audi Group vehicles using professional diagnostic and calibration equipment, following manufacturer technical procedures.

This helps ensure camera and sensor systems are correctly aligned and operating within specified tolerances.

What is Night Vision & Camera Calibration?

Night vision and camera calibration is the process of precisely aligning and configuring your vehicle’s built-in camera systems so they function correctly. This includes thermal night vision cameras, reversing cameras, front-facing sensors, and 360° camera systems. Calibration ensures these systems provide accurate images and data to assist with parking, safety alerts, and visibility in low-light conditions. It’s essential after windscreen replacement, bumper repairs, or any work involving camera modules.

What we calibrate

We carry out night vision and camera system calibration on a wide range of vehicles within the Volkswagen Audi Group range. Whether it involves reversing cameras, front-facing sensors or thermal imaging systems, we follow manufacturer technical procedures to ensure accurate system setup and alignment.

Calibration is performed using professional diagnostic and alignment equipment to confirm systems are operating within specified tolerances.

Services include:

Night vision camera recalibration
Reversing and 360-degree camera setup
Parking and manoeuvring camera checks
Front-facing camera recalibration after bumper work
Windscreen-mounted camera realignment after replacement

When should camera calibration be done?

Camera recalibration is needed when:

A windscreen has been replaced
A front or rear camera module has been removed or replaced
A bumper or mirror has been damaged
You notice camera warning lights or error messages

If you’re unsure, we can run a diagnostic check to confirm if recalibration is required.

Why Choose VGS for Camera Calibration?

We are an independent specialist working predominantly with vehicles from the Volkswagen Audi Group range, giving us a strong understanding of how camera and driver assistance systems integrate with the vehicle’s wider electrical and safety architecture. Our expertise covers:

Camera calibration for Volkswagen Audi Group vehicles
Use of manufacturer-specified targets and professional alignment equipment
Experience with thermal imaging and reversing camera systems

What’s the difference between night vision and a reversing camera?

Night vision systems use thermal imaging, often mounted in the front grille or bumper. Reversing cameras are typically visual-only and mounted near the number plate or boot. We calibrate both systems using the correct tools for each.

Do I need recalibration after changing the windscreen?

Yes. If your camera is mounted to the glass, even a minor misalignment can affect accuracy. We’ll recalibrate it to factory standards after replacement.

Which vehicles do you cover?

We carry out night vision and camera system calibration on a wide range of vehicles within the Volkswagen Audi Group portfolio.

This includes popular models such as the Audi Q5, Audi A6 and Audi Q7; the Volkswagen Golf, Volkswagen Passat and Volkswagen Tiguan; the Cupra Leon and Cupra Formentor; as well as Škoda models including the Škoda Kodiaq, Škoda Superb and Škoda Octavia.

We also work with newer electric models such as the Volkswagen ID.3 and Audi Q4 e-tron, where camera and driver assistance systems form an integral part of daily operation.
