Rear Camera
In regards to rear camera installation, it is common to
install the camera little to the left or right from the center
as it is difficult to install the camera right in the center due
to various reasons.
In this case, other types of rear cameras require adjusting
the camera in order to point the center; however, OmniVue
around view camera doesn’t require any adjustment but to
be installed parallel.

Camera Installation Guide
Camera Installation Guide –Passenger Vehicle
※ Right Side View
-The camera should be installed to face the floor surface
but the view is required to show the side of the vehicle
- Tips of the front & back parts of the vehicle should be
shown on the view in parellel
- No more than 40% of the vehicle should be shown in
the view
※ Rear Side View
- The camera should be installed on the rear side
with 25~30°downward angle and the rear bumper
should be shown in the view
- No more than 40% of the vehicle should be
shown in the view
※ Front Side View
- The camera should be installed on the front side
with 25~30°downward angle and the front
bumper should be shown in the view
- No more than 40% of the vehicle should be
shown in the view
※ Left Side View
- The camera should be installed to face the floor surface
but the view is required to show the side of the vehicle
- Tips of the front & back parts of the vehicle should be
shown on the view in parellel
- No more than 40% of the vehicle should be shown in
the view

Camera Installation Guide –Passenger Vehicle
1. All four(4) cameras are identical, except for the front camera which includes waterproof connector.
2. It is highly recommended for the front camera to be installed on the front center of the car.
(If not, calibration may not be possible)
3. Cameras have designated up/down/left/right sides and they cannot be modified with the software.
(Refer the pictures below for the correct installation positions)
4. Because the left and right side garnishes are different, the correct side garnish requires to be installed on
each side. (The side cameras themselves are identical)

Calibration Pattern Installation
1. Calibration process must be conducted on FLAT surface. If not, the lanes on
the road may look distorted and this can lead to a customer complaint.
2. The center mark of the pattern and the center line of vehicle must
match. Rear camera may not be required to be installed in the center but
the pattern must be based on the center line of vehicle. The lengths of ①
and ②must be identical.
3. The calibration pattern should align with the end line of the front
bumper through the monitor and all three (3) apexes of each triangle
should be shown when installing. If the installing site does not have
sufficient space, the rectangles on each side can be folded and does not
have to be shown.
4. All four (4) views (Front, left, right, rear) should display both triangles and all
three (3) apexes of each triangle should be shown clearly. If any of the
apexes is unclear or covered, please contact KSS-ImageNext.
5. If there is a considerable difference in luminance, a part of a triangle might
not be clear or distinguishable. Therefore, it is recommended to conduct the
process in the environment with even luminance.
①②
OmniVue calibration is a synthesizing process of the four (4) 185°cameras based on the flat surface.
This process is required due to various vehicle sizes and installation positions.
(OmniVue calibration must utilize the pattern provided by KSS-ImageNext)

1. The calibration pattern must be installed on FLAT surface.
2. The calibration pattern should align with the front bumper through the monitor.
3. If the calibration pattern is not installed correctly, the result may not be reliable despite the correct camera installation.
4. If the floor has grid lines, it would certainly help the calibration process.
5. The distance of the pattern from the driver side must be identical with it is from the passenger side.
This image on the
left is an ideal view
image of the front
pattern installation.
The distance from
both left (#1) and
right (#2) side of the
front bumper should
look identical as
shown in the image.
The pattern for the rear
view should be installed
aligning with the center
of vehicle. It is rare to be
able to install the rear
camera right in the center
of bumper; Therefore,
using a tape measure is
recommended for
accuracy when installing
the pattern.
For the left and the
right side, the distance
to the front & rear
triangle from the
vehicle should be
identical. If not, the
patterns need to be
re-installed.
In result of perfect
calibration, #4 on the
left and #5 on the right
should be the same
distance from the
vehicle as well as #3 on
the left and #6 on the
right. Use the key
button/mode button to
switch and confirm each
view.
