Product Overview
Maintaining optical clarity on panoramic cameras over time depends as much on the condition of the dome cover as on the camera itself. The AXIS TM3813-E is a genuine Axis replacement dome cover supplied as a pack of 4 clear domes, designed specifically for the Axis M4317-PLR, M4318-PLR, M4317-PLVE, and M4318-PLVE panoramic cameras. Each dome features an anti-scratch hard coating to resist surface degradation from UV exposure, cleaning, and general outdoor wear, and includes a rubber gasket to maintain a proper environmental seal once installed. The clear finish preserves the camera’s full field of view without introducing colour shift or optical distortion. Sold in a 4-pack, this accessory suits installers and facilities teams managing multiple cameras across a site, providing a cost-effective way to restore camera performance without replacing the entire unit. It is well suited to outdoor panoramic deployments where dome condition directly affects image quality across the camera’s wide coverage arc.
Key Capabilities
Anti-Scratch Hard Coating
The dome surface is treated with a hard coating to resist scratching from repeated cleaning, airborne debris, and outdoor exposure. This keeps the optical path clear and reduces the frequency of replacement on high-traffic or outdoor installations.
Genuine Axis Replacement Part
As an official Axis accessory, the TM3813-E is engineered to the same tolerances as the original dome cover on compatible M43-series panoramic cameras. This ensures a proper fit, correct optical alignment, and no compromise to the camera’s rated environmental protection.
Rubber Gasket Included
Each dome cover in the pack includes a rubber gasket, which is essential for maintaining the environmental seal of outdoor-mounted panoramic cameras. Replacing the gasket at the same time as the dome reduces the risk of moisture ingress after servicing.
4-Pack Quantity for Multi-Camera Sites
Supplied as a pack of 4, this product is practical for facilities teams and installers managing several compatible panoramic cameras across a building or campus. Having spare covers on hand reduces downtime when a dome needs replacement during routine maintenance.
Best For
- Routine Camera Maintenance: Facilities managers maintaining Axis M4317-PLR, M4318-PLR, M4317-PLVE, or M4318-PLVE cameras in outdoor positions benefit from having replacement domes available without waiting on special orders.
- Post-Vandalism or Physical Damage Repair: Where a dome cover has been scratched, cracked, or clouded by deliberate or accidental damage, replacing it with a genuine TM3813-E restores full optical clarity without retiring the camera.
- Outdoor Panoramic Camera Installations: The clear hard-coated dome and included rubber gasket make this replacement appropriate for outdoor environments where UV exposure and weather cycling degrade dome clarity over time.
Why Choose the AXIS TM3813-E
A degraded dome cover on a panoramic camera affects every degree of its coverage arc simultaneously, making timely replacement critical for wide-area monitoring positions. The AXIS TM3813-E is the confirmed genuine replacement dome for the M4317-PLR, M4318-PLR, M4317-PLVE, and M4318-PLVE, meaning it is dimensioned and optically matched specifically for these models. The anti-scratch hard coating and included rubber gasket distinguish it from generic aftermarket alternatives that may introduce optical distortion or fail to maintain a proper environmental seal. The 4-pack format reduces per-unit cost and ensures that spare covers are available for fast turnaround on multi-camera sites. Available through Security Wholesalers, the TM3813-E is backed by a 3-year Axis warranty, providing confidence that the replacement part meets the same manufacturing standards as the original equipment.
Buyer Decision Tips
Confirm Camera Compatibility Before Ordering: The TM3813-E is compatible with the Axis M4317-PLR, M4318-PLR, M4317-PLVE, and M4318-PLVE only. If you are maintaining a different Axis panoramic or dome camera model, verify the correct dome cover part number before purchasing, as dome dimensions and fitment vary between Axis camera families. The dimensions of this dome are 4.7 x 2.44 cm, which is specific to these M43-series units.

Ideal Use Cases
Campus and Building Perimeter Maintenance
Large campuses running multiple M4317-PLR or M4318-PLR panoramic cameras benefit from keeping a 4-pack of TM3813-E domes in stock. Outdoor exposure degrades dome clarity over time, and having replacements on hand avoids scheduled maintenance delays.
Retail and Commercial Premises
Retail environments where M4317-PLVE or M4318-PLVE cameras are ceiling-mounted can accumulate dome surface scratches from cleaning. Replacing the dome restores the camera’s full wide-angle view without requiring a full unit swap.
System Integrator Spare Parts Inventory
Integrators maintaining Axis M43-series panoramic cameras across multiple client sites can carry the TM3813-E 4-pack as a standard service item. The genuine Axis part ensures correct fitment and preserves the camera’s environmental rating after servicing.
Post-Incident or Vandalism Repair
Where dome covers have been cracked, clouded, or scratched through vandalism or accidental contact, the TM3813-E allows restoration of optical clarity quickly. The included rubber gasket ensures the environmental seal is properly re-established during installation.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You are maintaining or repairing an Axis M4317-PLR, M4318-PLR, M4317-PLVE, or M4318-PLVE camera and need a genuine replacement dome cover with anti-scratch coating and rubber gasket included. The 4-pack format makes this a practical choice for multi-camera sites or integrators carrying service stock.
- Choose a different model if: Your Axis panoramic cameras are from a different model family. Dome covers are model-specific and the TM3813-E dimensions and mounting are designed exclusively for the M43-series cameras listed above. Using an incorrect dome part risks poor optical performance and loss of environmental sealing.
FAQs
- Which Axis cameras is the TM3813-E compatible with?
The AXIS TM3813-E is confirmed compatible with the Axis M4317-PLR, M4318-PLR, M4317-PLVE, and M4318-PLVE panoramic cameras. It is not a universal dome cover and should not be used on other Axis camera models, as dome dimensions and mounting configurations differ between product families.
- How many dome covers are included in the pack?
The TM3813-E is sold as a 4-pack, with each unit being a single clear dome cover. Each dome in the pack also includes a rubber gasket, so you receive 4 domes and 4 gaskets in total. This format suits sites running multiple compatible cameras or integrators who prefer to hold service stock.
- Does replacing the dome affect the camera’s outdoor rating?
Provided the replacement is carried out correctly using the included rubber gasket and following Axis installation guidance, the environmental seal of the camera should be properly re-established. Using an aftermarket dome without the correct gasket or fitment tolerances risks voiding the camera’s rated environmental protection, which is one reason to use the genuine Axis TM3813-E part.
- Why does dome clarity matter for a panoramic camera?
Panoramic cameras like the M4317-PLR and M4318-PLR capture a wide field of view through a single dome. Any scratching, clouding, or surface degradation on the dome affects the entire coverage arc simultaneously, reducing image quality across all viewing directions. A clear, undamaged dome is essential for maintaining consistent image performance on these wide-angle models.
- Where can I purchase the AXIS TM3813-E in Australia?
The AXIS TM3813-E Clear Dome Cover 4-Pack is available through Security Wholesalers, supplied with a 3-year Axis warranty. Purchasing a genuine Axis replacement part ensures correct fitment and optical compatibility with the M4317-PLR, M4318-PLR, M4317-PLVE, and M4318-PLVE cameras.
