Product Overview
For installations where running a network cable to the AXIS M1075-L Box Camera is not practical, the AXIS TU9004 Wireless USB Dongle provides a straightforward way to connect the camera to a Wi-Fi network without additional adapters or complex configuration. This compact USB-A dongle plugs directly into the host camera’s USB port and delivers dual-band Wi-Fi 5 connectivity across both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, supporting the IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac wireless standard. Weighing just 3.3 grams and measuring 29.5 x 15 x 8 mm, it adds no meaningful bulk to the camera installation. It is RCM certified for the Australian market and carries a full suite of international regulatory approvals including CE, FCC, and RoHS compliance. It is suited to indoor camera deployments where a wired Ethernet run would be difficult, costly, or disruptive to complete.
Key Capabilities
Dual-Band Wi-Fi 5 Connectivity
Supporting IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac across 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, the TU9004 gives the AXIS M1075-L the flexibility to connect on whichever band offers the most stable signal in a given installation environment, reducing interference from congested 2.4 GHz networks where needed.
Direct USB-A Integration
The integrated USB-A male connector plugs directly into the AXIS M1075-L Box Camera’s USB port, requiring no cables, hubs, or additional mounting hardware. This keeps the installation tidy and eliminates loose connection points that could affect reliability in a fixed indoor deployment.
Compact and Lightweight Form Factor
At 29.5 x 15 x 8 mm and 3.3 grams, the TU9004 adds virtually no footprint to the host camera. This matters in ceiling-mounted or recessed box camera installations where clearance behind the camera or inside an enclosure may be limited.
Australian Market Certifications
The TU9004 carries RCM certification, confirming compliance with Australian electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety requirements. Additional international certifications include CE, FCC, IC, NCC, TELEC, REACH, and RoHS, making it suitable for multi-region deployments.
Best For
- Cable-Free Indoor Camera Deployments: Where routing Ethernet to an AXIS M1075-L Box Camera installation is not feasible, the TU9004 enables a wireless network connection using the camera’s existing USB port without structural modifications.
- Temporary or Relocatable Camera Positions: For M1075-L installations that may need to be repositioned periodically, wireless connectivity via the TU9004 avoids the need to re-route or extend fixed cabling each time the camera moves.
- Indoor Environments with Existing Wi-Fi Infrastructure: Where a reliable dual-band Wi-Fi 5 network is already in place, the TU9004 allows the M1075-L to integrate without requiring any additional switching infrastructure or PoE cabling beyond what already powers the camera.
Why Choose the AXIS TU9004
The AXIS TU9004 is an Axis-specified accessory built specifically for use with the AXIS M1075-L Box Camera, which means it is validated to work with that platform rather than being a generic third-party adapter that may require manual driver installation or produce inconsistent results. The dual-band Wi-Fi 5 capability gives installers the option to use the less congested 5 GHz band where signal conditions allow, or fall back to 2.4 GHz for broader coverage. The Realtek chipset-based design and RCM certification confirm it meets the regulatory requirements for use in Australian installations. It carries a 3-year warranty, matching the standard expected of Axis accessories. Available through Security Wholesalers, the TU9004 is a practical solution for wireless-enabling a fixed box camera deployment where laying Ethernet would otherwise add significant time and cost to the job.
Buyer Tip: The TU9004 is designed exclusively for the AXIS M1075-L Box Camera and is not a general-purpose USB Wi-Fi adapter for other Axis cameras or devices. Before purchasing, confirm that your installation environment maintains a stable Wi-Fi 5 signal at the camera location, as wireless camera connections are inherently more susceptible to interference and signal loss than a wired Ethernet run. The dongle is rated for indoor use between 0°C and 35°C, so it is not suitable for unheated enclosures or outdoor-adjacent spaces that may fall outside that range.

Ideal Use Cases
Heritage or Leased Buildings
In spaces where drilling or surface-mounting cable runs is not permitted, the TU9004 allows the AXIS M1075-L to operate over the existing Wi-Fi network, avoiding structural modifications while still providing fixed camera coverage.
Open-Plan Office or Retail Interiors
Indoor environments with existing dual-band Wi-Fi 5 infrastructure can support the M1075-L via the TU9004 without additional switching or cabling, reducing installation time in commercial fit-outs where ceilings are exposed or access is limited.
Pop-Up or Temporary Surveillance Setups
Where a camera position needs to be operational for a defined period and then relocated, wireless connectivity via the TU9004 removes the need to install and later remove fixed cable infrastructure, keeping the setup practical and reversible.
Camera Positions Beyond Cable Budget
In projects where the cost or difficulty of extending Ethernet to a secondary camera position outweighs the benefits of a wired run, the TU9004 provides a low-cost alternative that uses the site’s existing wireless network rather than requiring new infrastructure.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You are deploying an AXIS M1075-L Box Camera in an indoor location where a wired Ethernet connection is impractical and your site has a stable 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz Wi-Fi 5 network already in place.
- Choose a different approach if: Your installation environment is outdoors, subject to temperatures outside the 0-35°C operating range, or in an area with inconsistent Wi-Fi coverage. In those cases, a wired PoE connection to the M1075-L will deliver more consistent network performance than wireless.
- Choose a different model if: You are looking to add Wi-Fi connectivity to any Axis camera other than the AXIS M1075-L Box Camera. The TU9004 is specified for the M1075-L and should not be assumed to be compatible with other Axis models without confirmation from Axis.
FAQs
- Which camera is the AXIS TU9004 compatible with?
The TU9004 is specified by Axis for use with the AXIS M1075-L Box Camera. It connects via the camera’s USB-A port and enables the M1075-L to join a Wi-Fi network. It is not a general-purpose Axis accessory and should not be assumed to work with other Axis camera models without confirmation from Axis directly.
- What Wi-Fi standard and bands does the TU9004 support?
The TU9004 supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac, which is the Wi-Fi 5 standard. It operates across both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands, so it can connect to whichever band your wireless access point offers and your installation environment supports best.
- Can the TU9004 be used in outdoor camera installations?
No. The TU9004 is rated for indoor use with an operating temperature range of 0°C to 35°C. It does not carry an IP weather resistance rating and is not designed for use in outdoor environments or locations exposed to moisture, condensation, or temperature extremes beyond that range.
- Is the TU9004 approved for use in Australia?
Yes. The TU9004 carries RCM certification, confirming it meets Australian electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety requirements. It also holds CE, FCC, RoHS, REACH, and several other international regulatory certifications. The TU9004 is available through Security Wholesalers as part of the Axis accessories range.
- Does the TU9004 require any driver installation?
Axis has not published driver installation instructions as a requirement for the TU9004 when used with the AXIS M1075-L Box Camera. As an Axis-specified accessory for that specific host device, it is intended to operate within the M1075-L’s existing software environment. For detailed setup guidance, refer to Axis’s official documentation for the M1075-L.
