Target Omni Scoring System – Automatic Dart Scoring with DartCounter

The Target Omni Scoring System combines automatic steel-tip dart scoring with powerful dartboard lighting and the renowned DartCounter platform. Four HD cameras monitor the dartboard and automatically detect the position of thrown darts. The score is then directly transferred to DartCounter – eliminating the need for manual score entry.

With Omni, Target primarily targets dart players who want to digitally enhance their home steel-tip dart setup. Automatic score calculation, statistics, heatmaps, checkout suggestions, and online matches are all integrated into one system.

At Diplomatgames, you will find the Target Omni Auto Scoring System for a modern and convenient steel-tip dart setup at home.

How does Target Omni work?

The basic principle of Omni is simple: multiple cameras observe the dartboard from different positions.

As soon as a dart lands on the board, its position is recorded and assigned to the corresponding segment. The system then automatically calculates the score achieved.

Target Omni uses four HD cameras for this purpose.

For example, the system automatically recognizes:

• Single
• Double
• Triple
• Bull
• Bullseye
• Darts outside the scoring area
• Bounce-outs

Target states a detection accuracy of 99.7% for Omni.

This allows the player to concentrate on their throw while Omni takes care of the score calculation.

Four HD cameras for hit detection

A key difference to some other automatic scoring systems is the use of four cameras.

These are positioned around the dartboard and view the playing surface from different angles.

This is particularly important for tight groupings. If two darts are already stuck close together on the board, another dart may be partially obscured from a single camera angle.

Multiple perspectives help the system reliably determine the position nonetheless.

Automatic detection of bounce-outs

According to Target, Omni can also detect bounce-outs.

For example, if a dart hits the spider and then falls off the board, the system can recognize this event and take it into account.

Should a dart still not be registered correctly, throws can be manually corrected in DartCounter.

This ensures the player remains in control of the actual score at all times, even with unusual hits.

DartCounter – the heart of Target Omni

The Target Omni System works directly with DartCounter.

DartCounter not only displays the current score but also offers numerous other functions related to training, statistics, and online darts.

Depending on the selected game mode and account, functions such as the following are available:

• automatic score display
• checkout suggestions
• game statistics
• personal heatmaps
• local matches
• online matches
• player profiles
• performance analysis

This makes Omni not just an automatic score counter, but a comprehensive digital training system.

Personal statistics

A big advantage of digital scoring is that throws can be automatically recorded and evaluated.

This allows you to track your progress over a longer period.

DartCounter can display various performance data depending on the game and function, giving you a better overview of your game.

Particularly interesting are the personal heatmaps.

These show where your darts actually land on the dartboard. This makes it easier to identify typical spreads and hit areas.

For ambitious players, this can be a valuable addition to the classic average.

Checkout suggestions directly in the game

If you are on a finish, DartCounter can display suitable checkout routes.

Instead of having to search for a possible finish during the game, you get a suitable route displayed directly.

For beginners, this can be helpful when learning the most important checkouts.

Experienced players, on the other hand, can use the display to concentrate fully on the next throw.

Online Darts with Target Omni

Omni also enables online matches against other dart players via DartCounter.

This allows you to compete against players in other locations from your own dart setup.

This makes Omni particularly interesting for players who:

• want to play online regularly
• are looking for training partners
• play against friends remotely
• are looking for varied opponents
• want to connect their dart setup more strongly

A stable internet or Wi-Fi connection is required for this.

Target Virt as an additional camera

Those who want to enhance the online experience can combine Target Omni with Target Virt.

Virt is an additional camera that can be used for online matches. This allows the board and throw, or the game action, to be transmitted to the opponent.

Omni continues to handle automatic hit detection and score calculation.

The combination of Omni + Virt + DartCounter is particularly aimed at players who frequently play online darts and desire the most comprehensive digital setup possible.

Integrated LED Dartboard Lighting

Target Omni is not just a scoring system.

The large ring around the dartboard also contains powerful LED dartboard lighting.

The LEDs illuminate the dartboard from multiple directions, ensuring even and largely shadow-free illumination.

Thus, Omni performs two tasks simultaneously:

Dartboard Lighting + Automatic Scoring

Those who do not yet have separate dartboard lighting therefore do not necessarily need an additional LED light ring.

Easy installation with magnetic legs

Target has designed Omni so that the system can be installed without complicated specialized assembly.

Four magnetic legs connect the Omni ring to a compatible dartboard.

This allows the system to be mounted in a short amount of time.

Target Omni is compatible with most steel-tip dartboards of regular competition size.

Boards tested by Target include, for example:

• Target TOR
• Target ASPAR
• Target Pro Tour
• Winmau Blade 5 Series
• Winmau Blade 6 Series
• One80 Gladiator 3+
• Unicorn Eclipse Ultra
• Unicorn Eclipse Ultra 2.0
• Mission Samurai 2
• Koto King Pro

For other standard-sized boards, compatibility should still be checked before purchase.

Automatic Calibration

After installation, Omni must be calibrated to the dartboard being used.

For this purpose, the system has an automatic calibration function.

According to Target, the process usually takes approximately 40 to 60 seconds.

Recalibration is particularly recommended if:

• Omni has been removed from the dartboard and reinstalled
• the lighting ring has been accidentally shifted
• hit detection visibly deteriorates

This allows the system to be precisely re-aligned with the position of the individual segments.

Connection via Wi-Fi

Omni connects to DartCounter via Wi-Fi.

Both are supported:

• 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi
• 5 GHz Wi-Fi

For reliable hit transmission and especially for online matches, a stable Wi-Fi connection should be available at the dart playing area.

According to Target, a Wi-Fi extender can also be used.

What devices do I need for DartCounter?

A compatible smartphone or tablet with the DartCounter app is required for operation.

DartCounter is available for iOS and Android.

A tablet is particularly suitable for a fixed dart setup, as scores, checkout routes, and statistics can be displayed on a larger screen.

Does Target Omni fit my dart setup?

Before purchasing, you should consider the required space in addition to board compatibility.

Target specifies the following maximum dimensions for Omni:

• Height: 645 mm
• Width: 735 mm
• Depth: 245 mm

For a competition-compliant setup, Target also recommends a minimum ceiling height of 2.10 meters.

Especially for dart setups in basements, attics, or alcoves, the dimensions should therefore be checked before purchase.

What is included in the Target Omni delivery?

According to the manufacturer, the Target Omni Auto Scoring System includes:

• Omni Ring Light
• Omni Processing Box
• 4 magnetic legs
• Power supply unit
• Power cable for Target MOD
• Country adapter
• Mounting screws
• Hex key

Thus, the essential components for installation are already included in the scope of delivery.

A dartboard is not automatically included in the scope of delivery of the separately offered Omni Scoring System.

Target MOD compatible

Those who already use the modular Target MOD Dartboard System can also integrate Omni.

Omni can be powered directly via a power connection of the MOD system. This reduces the number of additional cables around the dartboard.

For players who already use several components of the Target Home setup, this results in a particularly tidy overall appearance.

What happens in case of incorrect hit detection?

Even modern camera-based scoring systems can, under special conditions, sometimes incorrectly or not at all detect a hit.

DartCounter therefore allows for manual correction.

Target recommends for the most reliable detection, among other things:

• Securely mount the dartboard
• Keep cameras clean
• Do not accidentally move Omni
• Avoid disruptive reflections
• Create consistent lighting conditions
• Avoid heavily worn dartboards

Omni's integrated lighting is designed to work with camera-based hit detection.

Target Omni or classic scoring?

The biggest difference lies in playing comfort.

With classic scoring, you have to calculate the score achieved after each throw and then write it down or enter it into an app.

With Omni, hits are automatically recognized and transmitted to DartCounter.

Classic Scoring	Target Omni
Calculate score yourself	Automatic hit detection
Manual entry	Automatic transmission
Separate lighting advisable	Integrated LED lighting
Statistics depend on the app	DartCounter statistics
Low technical requirements	Wi-Fi and DartCounter required
Affordable entry	Comprehensive digital setup

Omni is therefore primarily aimed at players who want to combine comfort, training, and online darts.

Who is Target Omni suitable for?

Target Omni is particularly interesting for:

• regular steel-tip dart players
• ambitious hobby players
• online dart players
• DartCounter users
• players who want to automatically record statistics
• players who also need dartboard lighting
• players who want to fully digitize their dart setup

If you only play a few legs occasionally and enjoy calculating your scores yourself, you don't necessarily need an automatic scoring system.

However, if you train regularly, evaluate statistics, or want to compete against other players online, Omni offers a comprehensive solution.

Target Omni, Scolia or Autodarts?

Target Omni competes with other automatic scoring solutions such as Scolia and Autodarts.

Omni's particular focus is on the close connection of:

4 HD cameras + LED lighting + DartCounter + Target Ecosystem

Scolia, on the other hand, relies on its own established scoring and training platform, while Autodarts is particularly interesting due to its flexible and open software/hardware structure.

Which system is most suitable therefore depends heavily on which platform and features you prefer.

For existing DartCounter users, Target Omni is particularly interesting, as scoring, statistics, and online play are brought together within the familiar DartCounter system.

Do I need DartCounter Ultimate for Target Omni?

To use Target Omni, you need the DartCounter App. The app can generally be used for free, so a paid subscription is not necessarily required immediately to get started.

The free version of DartCounter currently offers, among other things:

• up to 3 online matches per week
• 8 different game modes
• display of the last previous game
• basic statistics
• up to 10 action replay clips for 7 days

This means you can initially use Target Omni even without a permanent paid DartCounter subscription.

However, those who play online regularly or want to use more extensive training and statistics functions will quickly reach the limits of the free version.

DartCounter Ultimate – the paid premium version – becomes particularly interesting if you want to use Target Omni intensively.

Ultimate offers, compared to the free version, among other things:

• unlimited online matches
• additional game modes
• more extensive statistics
• customizable DartBot
• more action replays
• favorites for action replays
• additional premium features

The difference for online darts is particularly important:

DartCounter currently offers a monthly and an annual subscription.

DartCounter	Price
Free Version	€0
Ultimate monthly	€4.99 per month
Ultimate annually	€34.99 per year

The annual subscription is thus significantly cheaper than twelve individual monthly subscriptions.

For twelve months at the monthly price, the total would be €59.88. The annual subscription, however, costs €34.99, saving €24.89 compared to twelve individual monthly payments.

Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled in time. Actual prices displayed may vary depending on the App Store, country, and currency used.

• use more extensive statistics
• try additional game modes
• use the customizable DartBot
• test additional premium features

After the free three months, you can decide whether to continue using DartCounter Ultimate for a fee or return to the free version.

Free Version or Ultimate – what do I need for Omni?

For the sole use of Omni, a permanent paid DartCounter subscription is therefore not automatically required.

Free Version:
Suitable for players who primarily use Omni at home for local games, need basic statistics, and only occasionally play online.

DartCounter Ultimate:
Recommended for players who play online regularly, analyze more extensive statistics, use additional game modes, or want to train more intensively with DartCounter.

Especially those who buy Target Omni for its online features and want to compete regularly against other players should consider the ongoing costs for DartCounter Ultimate when making their purchase decision.

Important: Prices, features, and terms of DartCounter may change in the future. Therefore, the conditions stated in the DartCounter app or on the DartCounter website at the respective time are always decisive.
