Product Overview
Keeping a PTZ camera operational in demanding outdoor environments often comes down to maintaining optical clarity at the dome level. The AXIS TQ6823-E is a replacement hard-coated clear dome cover designed specifically for the Q63 PTZ camera series, including the Q6325-LE, Q6355-LE, Q6358-LE, Q6315-LE, and Q6318-LE models. The hard coating reduces surface scratching caused by dirty cleaning equipment, blowing dust, and sandstorms, which makes it a practical choice for cameras installed in exposed locations such as rooftops, car parks, industrial yards, or coastal environments. Built-in UV protection extends the lifespan of the dome material itself, reducing degradation from prolonged sun exposure. Rather than replacing an entire camera head after dome damage, installers and facilities teams can restore image quality with this genuine Axis spare part and maintain continuous coverage. It is backed by the Axis 3-year warranty.
Key Capabilities
Hard Coating for Scratch Resistance
The dome surface is treated with a hard coating that resists scratching from dirty cleaning cloths, grit, blowing dust, and sandstorm debris. This is especially important for cameras mounted in exposed outdoor positions where cleaning is performed regularly or dust accumulation is high.
UV Protection for Long-Term Durability
UV stabilisation within the dome material slows degradation caused by prolonged sunlight exposure. For PTZ cameras mounted on rooftops or external poles in sunny Australian conditions, this helps the dome remain optically clear and structurally sound over an extended service life.
Clear Optical Finish
The dome is supplied in a clear finish, ensuring no tint or coating interferes with the camera’s optical performance or colour accuracy. This matters for PTZ cameras that are relied upon for wide-area identification tasks where image fidelity is critical.
Genuine Axis Spare Part
As an official Axis accessory, the TQ6823-E is manufactured to the same tolerances as the original dome fitted to Q63 series cameras. Using a genuine replacement avoids fitment issues, seal integrity problems, or optical distortion that can occur with non-genuine alternatives.
Best For
- Post-damage dome replacement: Restoring optical clarity on a Q63 series PTZ camera after physical scratching or surface damage without replacing the entire camera unit.
- Preventive maintenance programmes: Scheduled dome replacement on cameras in high-dust or high-UV environments, using the hard coating and UV protection to extend service intervals.
- Installers managing Q63 fleet deployments: Carrying a spare dome on-site when servicing multiple Q63 PTZ cameras across large commercial or industrial installations.
Why Choose the AXIS TQ6823-E
A scratched or UV-degraded dome cover directly reduces the image quality produced by an otherwise fully functional PTZ camera. The AXIS TQ6823-E addresses this with a hard coating specifically designed to withstand the cleaning and environmental conditions that Q63 series cameras face in long-term outdoor deployments. Unlike generic dome covers, this is a genuine Axis part confirmed compatible with the Q6325-LE, Q6355-LE, Q6358-LE, Q6315-LE, and Q6318-LE models, ensuring correct fit, seal integrity, and optical alignment. The clear finish maintains full colour accuracy from the camera. For facilities managers and installers who need to extend the working life of an installed Q63 series camera, this replacement dome is a cost-effective alternative to full camera replacement. Available through Security Wholesalers, the TQ6823-E is backed by the Axis 3-year warranty.
Buyer Decision Tips
Confirm your Q63 model before ordering: The TQ6823-E is confirmed compatible with the Q6325-LE, Q6355-LE, Q6358-LE, Q6315-LE, and Q6318-LE. If your installed camera is a different Axis PTZ series, verify the correct dome part number before purchasing, as dome covers are model-specific to ensure correct housing geometry and weatherproofing seal alignment.

Ideal Use Cases
Rooftop and Pole-Mounted PTZ Cameras
Cameras mounted at height in exposed positions accumulate UV exposure and airborne grit over time. The hard coating and UV protection in the TQ6823-E make it a suitable replacement for Q63 units installed in these high-wear positions.
Industrial and Mining Site Cameras
Dust, particulates, and abrasive cleaning cycles are common in industrial environments. The scratch-resistant hard coating on the TQ6823-E is well suited to Q63 cameras operating on mine sites, quarries, or industrial yards where dome surfaces degrade faster than in urban settings.
Coastal and High-UV Installations
Australian coastal and open-sky deployments subject camera domes to intense UV radiation. The UV stabilisation in the TQ6823-E slows material yellowing and hazing on Q63 cameras, maintaining optical clarity over a longer service period.
Planned Fleet Maintenance
Organisations with multiple Q63 PTZ cameras across a site can incorporate TQ6823-E dome replacement into scheduled preventive maintenance cycles, replacing domes before visible degradation affects image performance rather than waiting for a failure-driven call-out.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You have an AXIS Q6325-LE, Q6355-LE, Q6358-LE, Q6315-LE, or Q6318-LE PTZ camera requiring a dome cover replacement due to scratching, UV hazing, or physical damage, and you need a genuine Axis part with hard coating and UV protection.
- Choose a different model if: Your installed camera belongs to a different Axis PTZ series. Dome covers are series-specific in their housing geometry and sealing, so a dome designed for the Q63 series will not be an appropriate fit for other Axis PTZ product lines.
FAQs
- Which camera models is the AXIS TQ6823-E compatible with?
The TQ6823-E is confirmed compatible with the following AXIS Q63 series PTZ cameras: Q6325-LE, Q6355-LE, Q6358-LE, Q6315-LE, and Q6318-LE. If your camera is not one of these models, you should confirm the correct dome part number with your Axis supplier before ordering to ensure correct fitment and weatherproof seal integrity.
- What does the hard coating on the dome actually protect against?
The hard coating is designed to resist surface scratching from dirty cleaning equipment, blowing dust, and sandstorms. In practice, this means the dome is more resistant to the micro-abrasions that accumulate during routine cleaning and in dusty outdoor environments, which would otherwise cause haziness that degrades the camera image over time.
- Why does UV protection matter for a dome cover?
Polycarbonate and similar dome materials can yellow, haze, or become brittle with prolonged UV exposure, particularly in Australian outdoor conditions. UV stabilisation within the TQ6823-E slows this degradation process, keeping the dome optically clear and structurally sound over a longer service period without requiring premature replacement.
- Is replacing just the dome cover a practical alternative to replacing the full camera?
Yes, in many cases it is. If the camera body, motor, sensor, and electronics are all functioning correctly and only the dome surface has been damaged or degraded, replacing the dome cover restores image quality at a fraction of the cost of a full camera replacement. This makes the TQ6823-E a cost-effective maintenance option for facilities teams managing Q63 installations.
- Where can I purchase the AXIS TQ6823-E in Australia?
The TQ6823-E is available through Security Wholesalers, supplied as a genuine Axis spare part and backed by the Axis 3-year warranty. Purchasing a genuine Axis dome cover ensures correct housing dimensions, seal geometry, and optical clarity, which non-genuine alternatives may not reliably provide.
