Product Overview
Maintaining the integrity of an installed box camera in demanding outdoor environments often requires access to genuine replacement components, and the Axis 02417-001 front window spare part is designed precisely for that purpose. Compatible with the AXIS Q1656-LE and AXIS Q1656-BLE box cameras, this replacement front glass window features an IK08 impact-resistant rating and an IP66 weatherproof seal, ensuring the repaired camera housing continues to meet its original environmental protection standards after servicing. The glass construction rather than a plastic alternative preserves optical clarity for the camera behind it, and the included wiper support means the full wiper functionality of the original housing is restored during the replacement. This spare part is relevant for installers, integrators, and facilities teams managing deployed Axis Q1656-LE or Q1656-BLE units that have sustained front window damage or require a planned glass replacement as part of a scheduled maintenance programme.
Key Capabilities
IK08 Impact-Resistant Glass
The front window is rated IK08, confirming resistance to significant mechanical impact. This matters in outdoor or semi-exposed installations where vandalism, debris strike, or accidental contact is a realistic risk during the camera’s operational life.
IP66 Weather Seal Restoration
Replacing the front window with this genuine Axis part restores the housing’s IP66 ingress protection rating, maintaining the camera’s ability to operate in rain, dust, and other outdoor conditions without moisture or contaminant ingress through the front aperture.
Wiper Support Included
This spare part includes the structural support required for the camera’s wiper system. Installers replacing a damaged window do not need to source wiper support components separately, ensuring the full functionality of the original housing is recovered in a single part replacement.
Glass Construction Over Plastic
The window is manufactured from glass rather than polycarbonate or acrylic, preserving the optical properties relevant to the Q1656-LE camera behind it. Glass is less prone to surface scratching and UV hazing over time compared to plastic alternatives used in lower-grade housings.
Best For
- Post-Impact Repair: Restoring a Q1656-LE or Q1656-BLE housing to full IP66 and IK08 specification after the front glass has been cracked or shattered by physical impact, without replacing the entire camera unit.
- Planned Maintenance Programmes: Facilities or security operations teams running scheduled servicing cycles on deployed Axis box cameras who need genuine spare parts stocked in advance for rapid swap-out without site downtime.
- Installers and Integrators: Security integrators maintaining multiple Q1656-LE or Q1656-BLE deployments across commercial or industrial sites who require a confirmed-compatible, genuine Axis replacement window backed by the manufacturer’s part number.
Why Choose the Axis 02417-001
When a Q1656-LE or Q1656-BLE front window is damaged, using a genuine Axis replacement part under part number 02417-001 ensures the camera housing returns to its original certified standards. A non-genuine or incompatible glass panel may not seat correctly against the housing gasket, compromising the IP66 seal and voiding any applicable warranty or compliance expectations on the installation. This part is confirmed compatible with both the Q1656-LE and Q1656-BLE, includes the wiper support required to restore the full wiper mechanism, and uses glass rather than a lesser material that could degrade image clarity or scratch over time in outdoor conditions. For integrators and end users sourcing genuine Axis spare parts in Australia, this component is available through Security Wholesalers as part of their Axis accessories range.
Buyer Decision Tips
Confirm Camera Compatibility Before Ordering: This front window spare part is confirmed compatible with the AXIS Q1656-LE and AXIS Q1656-BLE box cameras only. If your deployed camera is a different model in the Q1656 family or a different Axis box camera line entirely, verify the correct spare part number against the Axis spare parts catalogue before purchasing, as front window dimensions and housing gasket configurations vary between models.

Ideal Use Cases
Outdoor Camera Maintenance
The IP66 and IK08 ratings of this replacement window make it suited to restoring Q1656-LE units mounted in exposed outdoor positions where environmental sealing is critical to continued operation.
Vandalism Recovery
In locations where the camera front glass has been deliberately targeted, replacing with a genuine IK08-rated glass window returns the camera to its rated impact resistance level without requiring a full unit replacement.
Wiper System Restoration
For Q1656-LE deployments in rain-exposed positions where the wiper function is actively used, this part restores both the glass and wiper support in one replacement, avoiding partial repairs that could compromise the housing assembly.
Spare Parts Inventory Management
Integrators managing large Axis Q1656-LE deployments across multiple sites can hold this spare part in inventory to reduce mean time to repair when front window damage occurs, without waiting on order lead times during an outage.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this part if: You have a deployed AXIS Q1656-LE or AXIS Q1656-BLE with a damaged or degraded front glass window and need a confirmed genuine Axis replacement that restores IP66 sealing, IK08 impact rating, and wiper support in a single component.
- Choose a different part if: Your damaged camera is a different Axis model outside the Q1656-LE or Q1656-BLE range. Front window parts are model-specific, and using an incompatible spare part may prevent proper sealing of the housing. Consult the Axis spare parts catalogue to identify the correct part number for your specific camera model.
FAQs
- Which cameras is the 02417-001 front window compatible with?
This spare part is confirmed compatible with the AXIS Q1656-LE and AXIS Q1656-BLE box cameras. It is not a universal Axis front window and should not be assumed compatible with other camera models in the Axis Q-line or P-line without verifying the specific spare part number against those models.
- Does replacing the front window restore the IP66 rating of the camera housing?
Yes, provided the replacement is performed correctly using this genuine Axis part and the housing gasket is undamaged. The 02417-001 is designed to seat against the Q1656-LE housing to restore the original IP66 ingress protection specification. If the gasket or housing body has also sustained damage, those components should be assessed separately.
- Why is a glass window specified here rather than polycarbonate or plastic?
Glass maintains optical clarity over time more consistently than polycarbonate in outdoor conditions. Plastic glazing materials can develop surface micro-scratches and UV haze over years of exposure, which can affect the camera’s image in certain lighting conditions. Using glass preserves the front aperture quality appropriate to the Q1656-LE’s imaging capability.
- What does IK08 mean for this replacement window?
IK08 is a standardised impact protection rating indicating resistance to 5 joules of impact energy, which is equivalent to a 1.7 kg mass dropped from 300 mm. For a front window mounted on an outdoor box camera, this rating indicates the glass can withstand moderate physical impact, including that caused by thrown objects or accidental tool contact during nearby work.
- Where can I purchase the Axis 02417-001 in Australia?
This spare part is available through Security Wholesalers as part of their Axis accessories and spare parts range. It is stocked under part number 02417-001 and listed for the Australian region as part of Axis’s global spare parts programme.
