Product Overview
For installers who need to change the visual profile of an AXIS P3818-PVE panoramic camera, this black camera casing replacement provides a factory-matched enclosure built to the same outdoor protection standards as the original. The 02357-001 replaces the standard white casing with a black finish, making the unit less conspicuous against dark building facades, pergola structures, rooflines, and outdoor architectural surfaces where a white housing would be visually intrusive. Rated to IP66, IP67, and IK10, the replacement enclosure maintains the same weather and impact resistance as the original AXIS P3818-PVE housing. The package includes a cover lid, cover top, weather cover, and anti-loss screws, covering everything needed for a complete casing swap without sourcing components separately. Backed by a 3-year Axis warranty, it is well suited to commercial and institutional installations where consistent camera aesthetics are part of the site specification.
Key Capabilities
Black Finish for Discreet Integration
The black casing allows the AXIS P3818-PVE to blend into dark building surfaces, roof overhangs, and architectural structures where the standard white housing would draw attention or clash with the surrounding environment.
IP66 and IP67 Weather Protection
The enclosure carries both IP66 and IP67 ratings, confirming resistance to dust ingress and protection against water jets and temporary immersion. This matches the outdoor performance standard required for year-round exterior deployment.
IK10 Impact Resistance
Rated IK10, the casing withstands significant mechanical impact, making it appropriate for locations exposed to vandalism risk or accidental contact in outdoor commercial and public spaces.
Complete Replacement Kit
Includes a cover lid, cover top, weather cover, and anti-loss screws in a single package, so the entire casing swap can be completed without sourcing individual components from separate suppliers.
Best For
- Dark Facade Installations: Properties with charcoal, grey, or black exterior cladding where a white camera housing would be visually inconsistent with the building aesthetic.
- Site Aesthetic Compliance: Commercial and institutional projects where camera colour must match a specified palette across all mounted hardware, including signage, fittings, and architectural elements.
- Replacement After Damage: Existing AXIS P3818-PVE installations where the original casing has been physically damaged and requires a like-for-like rated enclosure swap while updating to a black finish.
Why Choose the AXIS P3818-PVE Black Camera Casing
Generic aftermarket enclosures rarely carry the same IP66, IP67, and IK10 certifications as the original manufacturer casing, and they risk compromising the AXIS P3818-PVE’s outdoor performance rating when fitted. The 02357-001 is an Axis-manufactured replacement, engineered specifically to fit the P3818-PVE frame with no modification required. The black finish is consistent with Axis quality standards rather than a painted or powder-coated aftermarket approximation. The inclusion of anti-loss screws and all three cover components in one package removes the guesswork from ordering individual parts. The 3-year Axis warranty provides coverage consistent with the camera itself. Available through Security Wholesalers, this casing is a practical choice for integrators who need a compliant, warranty-backed solution when a colour change or damaged housing replacement is required on an existing P3818-PVE deployment.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: This casing is designed exclusively for the AXIS P3818-PVE panoramic camera. Before ordering, confirm the installed camera model matches exactly. The P3818-PVE is a specific multi-sensor panoramic unit, and this enclosure will not fit other cameras in the AXIS P38 or broader panoramic range without verification from Axis directly.

Ideal Use Cases
Commercial Building Exteriors
Office buildings and retail premises with dark cladding or colour-matched hardware specifications benefit from the black finish, which integrates the P3818-PVE into the facade without the visual contrast of a white housing.
Outdoor Car Parks and Covered Structures
The IP66, IP67, and IK10 ratings make this casing suitable for covered outdoor structures such as car park ceilings and pergola soffits, where the camera is exposed to wind-driven rain and occasional physical contact.
Institutional and Campus Sites
Schools, hospitals, and council facilities with standardised dark-coloured camera hardware can use this casing to bring an existing white-cased P3818-PVE into alignment with the site-wide colour specification.
Damaged Casing Replacement
Where an installed P3818-PVE has sustained physical damage to its original casing, this replacement restores full IP66, IP67, and IK10 protection with an Axis-manufactured enclosure backed by a 3-year warranty.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You have an AXIS P3818-PVE installed in an outdoor location and need to change the housing colour to black, or you need to replace a damaged casing while maintaining IP66, IP67, and IK10 ratings with a warranty-backed Axis component.
- Choose a different model if: Your installed camera is not the AXIS P3818-PVE. This enclosure is engineered specifically for that model and should not be assumed compatible with other AXIS panoramic or outdoor cameras without direct confirmation from Axis Communications.
FAQs
- What cameras is the 02357-001 casing compatible with?
This casing is designed specifically for the AXIS P3818-PVE panoramic camera. It is not a universal enclosure. If you are unsure whether your installed model matches, check the label on the existing camera body before ordering.
- Does swapping to this black casing affect the camera’s IP or IK rating?
No. The 02357-001 carries the same IP66, IP67, and IK10 ratings as the original AXIS P3818-PVE enclosure, so replacing the white casing with this black version does not reduce the camera’s certified weather or impact protection.
- What is included in the package?
The package includes a cover lid, cover top, weather cover, and anti-loss screws. All components needed for a complete casing replacement are included, so no separate hardware sourcing is required for the swap.
- Is this casing suitable for permanent outdoor installation?
Yes. Rated IP66 and IP67, the enclosure is built to withstand dust ingress and water exposure from jets and temporary immersion. Combined with the IK10 impact rating, it is appropriate for year-round outdoor use in commercial and institutional environments. This casing is part of the Security Wholesalers range of Axis accessories for outdoor deployments.
- What warranty applies to this casing?
The 02357-001 is covered by a 3-year Axis warranty, consistent with Axis camera hardware. This provides assurance that the replacement enclosure meets the same quality and longevity standard as the original component it replaces.
