Product Overview
For installers and facilities teams maintaining AXIS Q3517-LV or Q3517-LVE network cameras in service, the AXIS Q35 Clear Dome A replacement covers offer a straightforward way to restore a camera’s optical performance after damage, scratching, or long-term wear. Supplied in packs of 5, each dome features an anti-scratch hard coating that extends the working life of the cover in environments where surface contact or cleaning is routine. Featuring an optically clear finish, these domes preserve the camera’s full field of view without tinting or obscuring the lens direction. This model is the standard clear variant, which is included with the camera at the point of sale, making it the correct replacement for maintaining the original camera appearance. It is worth noting that this part is listed as discontinued by Axis with no confirmed replacement, so procurement should be considered while stock remains available.
Key Capabilities
Anti-Scratch Hard Coating
The dome surface features a confirmed anti-scratch hard coating, reducing the risk of optical degradation from routine cleaning, incidental contact, or environmental abrasion in indoor camera installations.
Confirmed Camera Compatibility
These covers are confirmed compatible with the AXIS Q3517-LV and AXIS Q3517-LVE network cameras only. Using the correct dome replacement avoids optical misalignment, fit issues, or warranty concerns from using non-specified parts.
Clear Optical Finish
The clear dome maintains full visual transparency across the camera’s field of view, making it the right choice where the direction of the camera lens should remain visible or where image quality must not be reduced by tinting.
Pack of 5 for Maintenance Programs
Sold in packs of 5, this format suits multi-site operators, integrators managing camera fleets, or facilities teams that schedule preventative maintenance across multiple Q3517-LV or Q3517-LVE installations.
Best For
- Dome Replacement After Physical Damage: Scratched or cracked domes on AXIS Q3517-LV or Q3517-LVE cameras can degrade image quality. These replacement covers restore the original optical clarity using a part confirmed by Axis for these models.
- Preventative Maintenance Stocking: The pack-of-5 format allows integrators and facilities managers to keep spare domes on hand, reducing camera downtime when a dome needs replacing across multiple installed units.
- Restoring Standard Clear Appearance: Where a smoked dome was previously installed and the site requirement changes back to a clear cover, this pack provides the original factory-equivalent dome for the Q3517-LV and Q3517-LVE.
Why Choose the AXIS Q35 Clear Dome A
Using an Axis-specified replacement dome on the Q3517-LV or Q3517-LVE ensures the cover fits correctly and does not introduce optical distortion, internal reflections, or vignetting that can result from generic or incorrectly sized third-party covers. The anti-scratch hard coating on the 01180-001 is a confirmed feature that extends dome life compared to uncoated alternatives. For organisations managing multiple Q35-series camera installations, stocking replacement domes before they are needed reduces camera downtime and avoids project delays. As this part is listed as discontinued by Axis with no confirmed replacement, purchasing adequate stock now is a practical consideration. The AXIS Q35 Clear Dome A pack of 5 is available through Security Wholesalers for installers and end users requiring genuine Axis replacement parts for their existing camera deployments.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: This dome is confirmed for use with the AXIS Q3517-LV and Q3517-LVE only. Before ordering, verify the exact camera model on the installed unit’s label. The Q35 series also has a smoked dome variant available separately for installations where concealing the camera direction is preferred. Because this part is listed as discontinued, buyers managing ongoing service contracts should consider ordering sufficient stock to cover their full installed base.

Ideal Use Cases
Post-Damage Camera Restoration
When a Q3517-LV or Q3517-LVE dome is cracked or deeply scratched from physical impact, swapping the dome with a confirmed Axis replacement restores image quality without replacing the full camera unit.
Fleet Maintenance Programs
Integrators servicing sites with multiple Q35-series cameras can schedule dome replacement as part of a periodic maintenance program, using the pack-of-5 format to cover several units per visit.
High-Traffic Indoor Installations
In environments such as retail ceilings, corridors, or public areas where domes are exposed to regular cleaning or accidental contact, the anti-scratch hard coating extends the service life of each replacement cover.
Reverting from Smoked to Clear Finish
Where a site previously installed smoked domes for directional concealment and the requirement changes, this clear dome pack provides the factory-equivalent replacement to restore full visual transparency on the Q3517-LV or Q3517-LVE.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need a clear replacement dome for an AXIS Q3517-LV or Q3517-LVE camera and want an anti-scratch hard-coated cover confirmed compatible with these specific models.
- Choose a different model if: Your installation requires a smoked dome to conceal the camera’s viewing direction – Axis offers a separate smoked dome variant for the Q35 series. Also consider that this part is discontinued, and if stock is unavailable, upgrading to a current-generation Axis camera with its own replacement dome program may be a more sustainable long-term solution.
FAQs
- Which cameras are compatible with part number 01180-001?
The 01180-001 is confirmed compatible with the AXIS Q3517-LV and AXIS Q3517-LVE network cameras only. It should not be used as a replacement on other Axis camera models, as dome geometry and mount dimensions differ between series.
- What does the anti-scratch hard coating actually protect against?
The hard coating reduces surface marring caused by routine dome cleaning, accidental contact during maintenance work, and general environmental abrasion in ceiling-mounted indoor installations. It does not make the dome impact-proof, but it does extend the period before scratching degrades image quality enough to require replacement.
- Is the clear dome the same one that ships with the camera from the factory?
Yes. The clear dome is the standard cover included with the Q3517-LV and Q3517-LVE at the point of sale. Part 01180-001 is the genuine Axis replacement for that original clear cover.
- Can I use this dome to replace a smoked dome on my Q3517-LV?
Yes. If a smoked dome was previously installed on your Q3517-LV or Q3517-LVE and you want to revert to a clear finish, this pack provides the compatible clear replacement. Note that swapping to a clear dome will make the camera’s viewing direction visible.
- This part is listed as discontinued – should I still order it?
If you have Q3517-LV or Q3517-LVE cameras in service and anticipate ongoing maintenance needs, ordering stock now is a practical step. Axis lists this part as discontinued with no confirmed replacement, meaning availability will reduce over time. Security Wholesalers carries current stock, and once it is exhausted, sourcing a compatible Axis-specified replacement may not be possible.
