How to re-calibration OAK-4

MulongDeng

I recently attempted to run DynamicCalibration on my OAK-4 D R7 device, but encountered the following error:

[2025-09-09 12:59:14.869] [ThreadedNode] [error] Node threw exception, stopping the node. Exception message: The calibration on the device is too old to perform DynamicCalibration, full re-calibration required!

Can anyone guide me on how to perform a full re-calibration for my OAK-4 device?

Can you update depthai to the latest version? This should be fixed already.

Thanks,

Thanks. it solved

Hi, @jakaskerl,

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to kindly clarify a small misunderstanding. It appears that the error we’re encountering is actually related to the oak2 device, not the oak4. I apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

To give you a bit more context, I ran into this issue while executing the DynamicCalibration examples specifically on the oak2. In an attempt to resolve it, I utilized the depthai repository to recalibrate the device. Unfortunately, it seems that this approach didn’t yield the desired results.

Interestingly, the calibration process itself appears to be successful. However, when I run the demo, the error persists. I’m not quite sure what’s going on, but I wanted to keep you in the loop.

Thank you for your understanding and support. I’m looking forward to any insights you might have.

Best regards

Device: OAK-D Pro FF R6M2E6
DepthAI: v3.0.0 for DynamicCalibration；v2.30.0.0 for calibrate

Can you show me any errors you are running into. We believe it is because you have an earlier device.

Thanks,

Hi MulongDeng
Ok, I see. We're trying to fix this on our side so older devices will be able to use it as well.

Thanks,
Jaka
