Mobileye 8 Connect
6.4 Mobileye 8 Connect main unit (camera) installation
Minimum height for camera location is 1.2 meters (3.9 feet).
Maximum height for camera location is 1.8 meter (5.9 feet).
The unit must be in an area of the windshield which the windshield wipers reach.
The unit should preferably be located at the center of the windshield.
Installing the unit off-center in a convex windshield will result an improper field of
view, which will affect system performance. The camera’s lens should always
face straight ahead.
Off-center installation is allowed up to 8%
EXAMPLE:
if the vehicle width is 200cm (2M), camera can be attached up to 16
cm from the windshield center (200*0.08=16).
Vehicle width in cm X 0.08 = MAX
OFFSET
Camera roll-up is allowed up to 2°; if the camera roll is higher than 2°, the
calibration will fail.
There should be no obstruction, such as stickers or darkened windshield areas,
in front of the main unit.
In tall commercial vehicles that do not have an engine hood blocking the
camera’s field of view, the main unit can be placed on the lower part of the
windshield; however, all the above-mentioned requirements must nonetheless
be considered. In this case, you can modify the main unit cable to the "DOWN"
position. “DOWN” means that after the main unit installation, the main cable exits
from downwards instead of upwards (by default the cable exits upward from the
“UP” position).
Selecting the optimal location for the main unit is critical and can affect system performance.
Please ensure to comply with the following guidelines.
In extreme cases and upon approval of Mobileye support team, it is possible to install the
camera above 1.8 meters BUT this will void any REM data which can affect the project
target.
