Product Overview
For exposed outdoor installations where sun, rain or snow directly impacts image quality and camera longevity, the AXIS P13 Weathershield Extension A adds an extra layer of physical protection to compatible Axis outdoor cameras. This genuine Axis accessory is designed as an extra-long extension that mounts directly onto the weathershield of compatible Axis P13 and Q-series box and thermal cameras, providing a deeper overhead overhang than a standard weathershield alone. Featuring an internal anti-glare coating, it also helps reduce image reflections that can occur when sunlight enters the front of the housing. Built to IK10 impact resistance standards, it holds up to knocks and vibration in industrial and commercial environments. Suitable for perimeter-facing installations, building-mounted box cameras on exposed facades, and outdoor thermal camera deployments where weather protection matters as much as image performance.
Key Capabilities
Extra-Long Weather Overhang
The extended visor length provides a deeper overhead shield than a standard weathershield, reducing direct rain and snow contact with the camera lens in exposed or coastal outdoor locations.
Internal Anti-Glare Coating
The anti-glare coating applied to the inside of the extension helps prevent sunlight from reflecting off interior surfaces and appearing in the camera image, which is particularly useful for cameras facing east or west.
IK10 Impact Resistance
Rated IK10, the weathershield extension can withstand physical impacts, making it suitable for industrial sites, loading areas, or any environment where the camera housing may be exposed to accidental knocks or vibration.
Genuine Axis Accessory
As a genuine Axis product, this weathershield extension is engineered to fit compatible Axis outdoor models precisely, carries the 3-year Axis warranty, and maintains the integrity of the camera’s existing outdoor protection rating.
Best For
- Sun-Facing Outdoor Cameras: The internal anti-glare coating directly addresses image degradation caused by sunlight entering the front of the camera housing, making this extension especially useful for cameras mounted facing east, west, or without natural overhead cover.
- Exposed Industrial and Perimeter Sites: Locations such as loading docks, factory perimeters, and open commercial yards expose cameras to driving rain and physical impact. The IK10 rating and extra-long visor provide practical protection where a standard-length weathershield falls short.
- Compatible Axis Thermal Camera Deployments: For thermal cameras such as the AXIS Q2101-TE, Q2111-E, and Q2112-E installed in outdoor perimeter or industrial roles, this extension adds physical weather protection without modifying or replacing the existing housing.
Why Choose the AXIS P13 Weathershield Extension A
A standard weathershield provides baseline protection, but for cameras on exposed building facades, industrial perimeters, or open outdoor sites, the additional overhang length of the AXIS P13 Weathershield Extension A meaningfully reduces the amount of rain, snow, and direct sunlight that reaches the lens. The internal anti-glare coating is a detail that generic or third-party accessories rarely include, and it makes a measurable difference on cameras that face toward sun angles during morning or afternoon hours. Combined with IK10 impact resistance, this extension is built for long-term outdoor use rather than just basic weather deflection. As a genuine Axis accessory with a 3-year Axis warranty, it is designed to maintain compatibility and fit with confirmed supported models. Available through Security Wholesalers, it suits installers who want to protect the investment in compatible Axis camera hardware across demanding outdoor deployments.
Buyer Decision Tips
Compatibility Check First: The AXIS P13 Weathershield Extension A is not a universal fit. It is confirmed compatible with specific Axis P13 and Q-series box and thermal camera models only, including the P1385-BE, P1385-E, P1387-BE, P1387-LE, P1388-BE, P1388-LE, Q1656-BE, Q1656-BLE, Q1656-LE, Q2101-TE, Q2111-E, and Q2112-E, as well as the AXIS P13 Weathershield Kit A. Confirm your camera model is on this list before purchasing. It is designed to mount onto the existing weathershield of the camera rather than replace it.

Ideal Use Cases
Exposed Building Facades
Cameras mounted on building exteriors without overhead structural cover benefit directly from the extra-long visor, which reduces rain and sunlight reaching the lens in locations that a standard weathershield cannot fully protect.
Industrial Perimeter Monitoring
Factory perimeters and industrial yards often require box cameras on poles or walls with no natural cover. The IK10 rating ensures the extension holds up to the physical demands of these environments alongside the weather protection it provides.
Sun-Angle Glare Reduction
For cameras positioned where morning or afternoon sun creates internal housing reflections, the anti-glare coating on the inside of the extension reduces the visual interference that can degrade image quality during high-sun periods.
Outdoor Thermal Camera Installations
Compatible thermal cameras such as the AXIS Q2101-TE and Q2112-E are frequently deployed in open outdoor perimeter roles where extended weather shielding complements the camera’s detection capability across all conditions.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You are installing one of the confirmed compatible Axis P13 or Q-series box or thermal cameras in an exposed outdoor location where additional rain, sun, or snow protection beyond the standard weathershield is needed, or where sun-angle glare is causing visible reflections in the image.
- Choose a different model if: Your Axis camera model is not on the confirmed compatibility list. Not all Axis outdoor cameras are supported by this extension, and fitting an incompatible accessory may not provide a secure or weatherproof result. Check Axis documentation for the correct weathershield accessory for your specific camera model.
FAQs
- What does the AXIS P13 Weathershield Extension A actually add over the standard weathershield?
The extension provides a longer overhead visor than the standard weathershield, giving more physical coverage against driving rain, direct sun, and snow. It also includes an internal anti-glare coating that the standard weathershield may not have, specifically targeting image reflections caused by sunlight entering the front of the housing. - Does this replace the existing weathershield on my Axis camera?
No. The AXIS P13 Weathershield Extension A mounts onto the existing weathershield of a compatible Axis camera rather than replacing it. It is an extension that adds extra coverage length to what is already installed on the camera housing. - Which cameras is this compatible with?
Confirmed compatible models include the AXIS P1385-BE, P1385-E, P1387-BE, P1387-LE, P1388-BE, P1388-LE, Q1656-BE, Q1656-BLE, Q1656-LE, Q2101-TE, Q2111-E, Q2112-E, and the AXIS P13 Weathershield Kit A. If your camera model is not on this list, confirm compatibility with Axis before purchasing. - What does the IK10 rating mean for a weathershield extension?
IK10 is the highest level of the IEC impact resistance scale, indicating the housing can withstand a defined impact force without damage. For an outdoor weathershield extension, this means it holds up to physical knocks and vibration that can occur at industrial sites, loading areas, or any location with heavy machinery or vehicle activity nearby. - Is there a warranty on this accessory, and is it a genuine Axis product?
Yes. The AXIS P13 Weathershield Extension A is a genuine Axis Communications accessory and carries a 3-year Axis warranty. It is available through Security Wholesalers as part of the Axis accessories range. Using a genuine Axis accessory also ensures the fit and finish are engineered specifically for the supported camera models rather than adapted from a generic third-party product.
