Product Overview
For facilities managers and installers maintaining AXIS M30-series dome cameras, the AXIS TM3830 Dome Smoked provides a genuine OEM replacement dome cover in a convenient 4-pack. Designed to fit selected AXIS M30 Dome Cameras, including the AXIS M3098-H and AXIS M3098-LV, this smoked dome cover replaces a damaged or scratched original cover without the need to replace the entire camera unit. The smoked tint reduces the visual prominence of the camera bubble, making it well suited to environments where a discreet ceiling-mounted appearance is preferred, such as retail spaces, offices, and public-facing areas. Each pack contains 4 dome covers, making it a practical stock item for multi-camera sites or service contracts requiring on-hand replacement parts. The clear variant (03556-001) is available separately for installations where maximum image brightness is the priority.
Key Capabilities
Smoked Tint for Discreet Mounting
The smoked dome cover reduces the visibility of the camera’s internal components, giving the unit a cleaner, less obtrusive appearance on ceilings in customer-facing or professional environments such as retail floors, offices, and reception areas.
Genuine Axis OEM Part
As an official Axis Communications accessory, the TM3830 is manufactured to the same tolerances as the original dome cover supplied with the camera, ensuring a secure fit and consistent optical alignment without voiding camera warranty.
4-Pack for Multi-Camera Sites
Sold in packs of 4, this accessory suits sites running multiple AXIS M30-series dome cameras. Having spare covers on hand reduces downtime when a dome is scratched, cracked, or discoloured after extended use or an impact event.
Confirmed M3098-Series Compatibility
Axis has confirmed compatibility with the AXIS M3098-H and AXIS M3098-LV Dome Cameras, providing certainty for installers ordering replacement parts for these specific models without the guesswork of aftermarket alternatives.
Best For
- Maintenance and Service Contracts: Keeps compatible AXIS M3098-series cameras operational without full unit replacement when dome covers are scratched, cracked, or yellowed.
- Discreet Indoor Environments: The smoked tint suits ceiling-mounted cameras in retail stores, offices, and public spaces where a low-profile camera appearance is preferred.
- Multi-Site Installers Carrying Spare Stock: The 4-pack format is a practical bulk option for installers or facility teams managing multiple AXIS M30 camera locations across a building or campus.
Why Choose the AXIS TM3830 Dome Smoked
The AXIS TM3830 is the genuine OEM replacement dome cover for selected AXIS M30 cameras, and it is the only assured option for maintaining optical and mechanical integrity on the AXIS M3098-H and AXIS M3098-LV without introducing fit or image quality uncertainty. Aftermarket dome covers for indoor cameras frequently introduce distortion, uneven tint, or fitment issues that compromise image quality and camera appearance over time. The smoked finish of the TM3830 is matched to Axis’s original specification, so the installed appearance remains consistent across all cameras on a site. Sold in a 4-pack, it offers a cost-effective way to keep spare covers available for immediate deployment. The TM3830 is available at Security Wholesalers for installers and facilities teams sourcing Axis accessories in Australia.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Before ordering, confirm that your AXIS M30 camera model is listed as compatible with the TM3830. Axis has confirmed the AXIS M3098-H and AXIS M3098-LV are compatible, but not all M30-series models share the same dome fitting. If your installation requires maximum low-light image brightness, the clear dome variant (03556-001) is the alternative – the smoked version reduces visual glare from the cover but will slightly attenuate light transmission compared to clear.

Ideal Use Cases
Retail Store Ceiling Cameras
The smoked dome tint suits retail ceiling installations where operators prefer that the camera lens direction is not immediately visible to customers, maintaining a discreet appearance across the sales floor.
Office and Corporate Spaces
In professional office environments, the smoked cover gives M30-series dome cameras a cleaner, less intrusive look on white or neutral ceilings, appropriate for meeting rooms, corridors, and reception areas.
Facility Maintenance Programs
Facilities teams managing AXIS M3098-H or M3098-LV cameras across a building benefit from holding 4-packs on site, allowing damaged domes to be swapped out without scheduling a camera replacement order and service call.
Installer Service Stock
Security installers maintaining multiple M30-series camera deployments across different client sites benefit from keeping TM3830 packs in their van stock, reducing callback time for dome replacement tasks.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need a smoked replacement dome for a confirmed compatible AXIS M30 camera such as the M3098-H or M3098-LV, and you want to maintain a discreet camera appearance in an indoor environment.
- Choose a different model if: Your installation requires maximum optical clarity at night or in low-light conditions, in which case the clear dome variant (03556-001) is more appropriate as it does not reduce light transmission through the cover. If your AXIS M30 model is not confirmed compatible with the TM3830, check Axis’s accessory compatibility documentation before ordering.
FAQs
- Which AXIS cameras is the TM3830 Dome Smoked compatible with?
Axis has confirmed compatibility with selected AXIS M30 Dome Cameras, specifically including the AXIS M3098-H and AXIS M3098-LV. If you are unsure whether your specific M30 model is compatible, check the Axis accessories compatibility page or contact Axis technical support before purchasing, as not every M30-series variant shares the same dome fitting.
- What is the difference between the smoked dome (03557-001) and the clear dome (03556-001)?
The smoked dome (TM3830, part 03557-001) reduces the visibility of the camera lens direction from below, which can suit environments where a more discreet appearance is preferred. The clear dome (03556-001) allows slightly more light transmission and is better suited to low-light environments where maximum image quality at night is the priority. Both are OEM Axis parts for the same compatible M30 cameras.
- Why are replacement dome covers sold in a 4-pack?
The 4-pack format reflects the practical reality of multi-camera installations and ongoing maintenance. Sites running several AXIS M3098-series cameras benefit from having spare domes available immediately when one is scratched, cracked, or discoloured, rather than waiting on a single-unit order. It also suits installers who service multiple client sites and prefer to carry spare stock.
- Is this a genuine Axis Communications part?
Yes. The AXIS TM3830 Dome Smoked (03557-001) is an official Axis Communications accessory manufactured to OEM specifications. Using genuine Axis replacement parts ensures correct dome fitment and helps maintain camera performance, optical alignment, and warranty status. The TM3830 is part of the Security Wholesalers Axis accessory range, available for order in Australia.
- Does the smoked dome affect image quality or night vision performance?
A smoked dome cover will attenuate some light compared to a clear dome, which can have a minor effect on low-light image performance. For most indoor installations with adequate ambient or supplemental lighting, this is not a significant concern. However, for cameras in very dark environments or where every unit of low-light performance is critical, the clear dome variant (03556-001) is the better choice.
