Product Overview
Maintaining a consistent, professional appearance across a camera installation is straightforward when replacement housings are available from the original manufacturer. The Axis TM3818 Dome Camera Casing in Black is a genuine Axis accessory designed specifically for the M30 Series dome camera lineup, sold in a convenient 4-pack to support multi-camera sites. Compatible with the M3085-V, M3086-V, and M3088-V models, this casing provides a direct like-for-like replacement for the outer dome cover, restoring a camera’s factory appearance after physical damage, discolouration, or surface wear. The black colour is suited to environments where a darker housing blends against ceiling tiles, dark soffits, or finished interior surfaces. Each pack covers 4 camera units, making it practical for staged replacements or end-of-warranty refurbishment work. Backed by a 3-year warranty and sourced from Axis’s authorised distribution network, this casing is built to the same tolerances as the original housing it replaces.
Key Capabilities
Genuine Axis Replacement Part
This is a factory-authorised Axis accessory, not a third-party substitute. It is designed to the same dimensional tolerances as the original M30 Series housing, ensuring a correct fit without modification or adaptation work on site.
Confirmed M30 Series Compatibility
Explicitly compatible with the M3085-V, M3086-V, and M3088-V dome cameras. Purchasing a confirmed compatible housing eliminates the guesswork and rework risk that comes with sourcing generic aftermarket parts for specific camera bodies.
4-Pack Quantity for Multi-Camera Sites
Sold in packs of 4, the TM3818 is well suited to sites running multiple M30 Series cameras. A single order covers an entire row of cameras, reducing procurement steps and keeping spare stock on hand for future replacements.
Black Finish for Interior Blending
The black housing colour is suited to ceiling installations against dark or neutral surfaces, allowing dome cameras to sit unobtrusively in retail, hospitality, office, or corridor environments where a white housing would draw unnecessary visual attention.
Best For
- Post-Damage Housing Replacement: When an M3085-V, M3086-V, or M3088-V dome cover is cracked, scratched, or discoloured, the TM3818 restores the camera’s appearance without replacing the entire unit.
- Multi-Site Maintenance Programmes: Facilities teams managing multiple Axis M30 Series installations can purchase 4-packs to maintain consistent stock for planned maintenance rounds.
- Dark or Neutral Interior Environments: The black casing suits ceiling deployments in spaces where a darker dome profile blends more naturally with the surrounding surface finish.
Why Choose the Axis TM3818
When a dome housing is damaged, the temptation is to source a cheaper generic cover, but dimensional tolerances matter. The Axis TM3818 is engineered specifically for the M3085-V, M3086-V, and M3088-V, meaning the dome lens cover, snap-fit points, and internal clearances are built to match the original camera body exactly. A poorly fitting aftermarket cover can introduce vibration, misalignment, or sealing gaps that affect long-term performance. The TM3818 avoids that risk entirely by being a genuine Axis part with a 3-year warranty. Sold in packs of 4 at 02578-001, it provides cost-effective coverage for sites with multiple M30 cameras due for housing refresh. Available through Security Wholesalers, the TM3818 is a practical procurement choice for installers and facilities teams who want manufacturer-backed parts rather than unverified alternatives.
Buyer Decision Tips
Confirm Your Camera Model Before Ordering: The TM3818 casing is confirmed compatible with the M3085-V, M3086-V, and M3088-V only. Check the label on the base of the camera or the original purchase documentation before ordering. If your M30 Series model is not listed among those three, verify compatibility with Axis directly prior to purchase to avoid a mismatch.

Ideal Use Cases
Retail & Hospitality Refurbishment
In high-traffic retail or hospitality environments, dome covers can become scratched or yellowed over time. The black TM3818 casing restores a clean finish to M3085-V, M3086-V, or M3088-V cameras without a full camera swap.
Corporate Office & Corridor Installations
The black casing blends against dark ceiling tiles and grey ductwork common in modern office fit-outs, keeping the M30 Series camera visually unobtrusive while maintaining a professional interior appearance.
Installer Stock for Service Contracts
Security integrators holding service contracts for Axis M30 Series sites can keep a stock of TM3818 packs on hand to handle housing replacements quickly without waiting on individual part orders per callout.
Staged Multi-Camera Maintenance Rounds
Facilities teams managing buildings with large numbers of M30 Series cameras can use the 4-pack format to systematically refresh housings across a site in a single maintenance window, reducing repeat visits.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You are running M3085-V, M3086-V, or M3088-V cameras and need a confirmed-compatible, manufacturer-backed black housing replacement, particularly across multiple units where the 4-pack quantity reduces per-unit cost and procurement effort.
- Choose a different model if: Your M30 Series camera model is not one of the three listed, or if you require a white housing instead of black. Axis also offers the TM3818 in white for environments where a lighter casing finish is more appropriate.
FAQs
- Which Axis camera models is the TM3818 casing compatible with?
The AXIS TM3818 Black casing is confirmed compatible with the AXIS M3085-V, M3086-V, and M3088-V dome cameras. These are all part of the AXIS M30 Series. It is not confirmed as compatible with other Axis dome series, so you should verify your camera model before purchasing.
- How many casings are included in the 02578-001 pack?
The 02578-001 SKU includes 4 black casings per pack. This makes it practical for sites with multiple M30 Series cameras requiring housing replacement at the same time, or for installers wanting to keep spare stock on hand for service visits.
- Is this a genuine Axis part or an aftermarket product?
This is a genuine Axis accessory supplied through the authorised Axis distribution network. It is manufactured to the same tolerances as the original M30 Series housing. You can confirm authenticity via the Axis part number 02578-001, which is the official Axis product code for this item.
- Why would I replace a dome casing rather than the whole camera?
If the camera’s internal components are functioning correctly but the outer dome cover is physically damaged, discoloured, or scratched, replacing only the housing is a significantly more cost-effective approach than swapping out the entire camera unit. It also avoids reconfiguration work on the network side.
- Where can I purchase the Axis TM3818 Black 4-Pack in Australia?
The AXIS TM3818 Casing Black 4-Pack (02578-001) is part of the Security Wholesalers range, available for purchase through their platform for installers and resellers supplying Axis products to Australian sites.
