How to Set Up the Target Darts Omni Auto Scoring System: A Step-by-Step Guide
Share
If you have just unboxed the Target Darts Omni Auto Scoring System, you are holding the future of home darts. Say goodbye to manual scorekeeping and hello to instant, professional-grade analytics right in your own game room.
While the technology powering the four HD cameras and split-second calculations is incredibly advanced, the installation process is designed to be completely effortless. Whether you are upgrading your current steel-tip bristle board or building a dedicated setup from scratch, this guide will walk you through exactly how to set up your Target Omni system in just a few minutes so you can get straight to the oche.
What’s in the Box?
Before you begin, lay out the contents of your Omni package to ensure you have everything needed for a seamless installation:
- 1x Omni Ring Light
- 1x Omni Processing Box
- 4x Omni Magnetic Legs
- 1x Omni Power Supply (with country adapters)
- 1x Omni Power Cable for MOD (for those using the Target MOD system)
- 10x Screws (M4x8mm) & 1x Allen Key (2.5mm)
Step-by-Step Installation Guide
Step 1: Assemble the Magnetic Legs
Grab the Omni Ring Light and place it face down on a soft, flat surface. Using the provided Allen key and screws, securely attach the four magnetic legs to the designated mounting points on the back of the light ring. Ensure they are tightened evenly to provide a stable, balanced mount.
Step 2: Mount the Omni to Your Dartboard
The Omni utilizes a brilliant magnetic mounting system, much like the popular Target Corona light. Simply line up the assembled ring light over your standard steel-tip bristle dartboard. The four magnetic legs will attach firmly to the outer metal rim of the dartboard. Make sure the ring is centered perfectly around the board to ensure the HD cameras have an unobstructed view of all scoring segments.
Step 3: Power Up the System
Connect the Omni Power Supply to the Omni Processing Box. If you are integrating this into a Target MOD system, you can use the included 0.4m MOD power cable to plug directly into the hub, eliminating messy wires. Otherwise, plug the standard power adapter into your nearest wall outlet. The bright white LED lights will instantly illuminate your board, eliminating shadows and highlighting the targets.
Step 4: Download the DartCounter App
The Omni is designed exclusively to work with Target's DartCounter app. Head to the Apple App Store (for iOS) or Google Play Store (for Android) and download the free app. Create an account or log in if you already have one. Your new Omni system includes a complimentary 3-month trial of the premium features, giving you access to global online play and advanced performance tracking.
Step 5: Connect via Wi-Fi and Calibrate
Open the DartCounter app and navigate to the device pairing section. Follow the on-screen prompts to sync the Omni Processing Box to your home Wi-Fi network. Once connected, the app will guide you through a brief camera calibration process. The four HD precision cameras will map your dartboard to ensure perfect, sub-second accuracy, even detecting bounce-outs.
Once calibration is complete, you are ready to play. Throw your darts, and watch as the system does the math for you!

Frequently Asked Questions: Target Omni Setup
What dartboards are compatible with the Target Omni System?
The Target Darts Omni is designed to fit standard tournament-sized bristle dartboards. While it is optimized for Target boards like the Aspar, it will securely mount to most standard steel-tip boards available in our game room showroom.
Why is my Omni processing box blinking blue?
A blinking blue light usually indicates that the Omni system is in pairing mode and waiting to connect to your local Wi-Fi network via the DartCounter app. Make sure your phone's Bluetooth is on and you are close to the processing box during this step.
Do I need a paid subscription to use the DartCounter app?
No, the basic DartCounter app is free and allows you to play standard games and track your scores. However, a premium subscription unlocks advanced features, detailed statistics, and extra online multiplayer options.
How do I properly calibrate the Omni cameras?
Calibration is handled entirely within the DartCounter app. Follow the on-screen prompts to ensure all four HD cameras have a clear, unobstructed view of the board's scoring segments. Ensure the lighting is even and there is no direct sunlight hitting the board.
