Product Overview
Maintaining the optical performance of an installed camera often comes down to the condition of its dome cover. The Axis TP3803-E Clear Dome is a genuine replacement spare part designed exclusively for the AXIS P3715-PLVE Network Camera, restoring the camera’s original dome profile and optical clarity after physical damage, scratching, or discolouration. Keeping the dome in clean, undamaged condition is essential for preserving image quality, particularly on a panoramic camera where any distortion or hazing across the dome surface directly affects the wide-area coverage the P3715-PLVE is built to deliver. This is a genuine Axis component supplied under part number 02197-001, ensuring a precise fit without modification. It is well suited to facilities maintenance teams, installers managing service contracts, and site operators who need to return a camera to full working condition quickly without replacing the entire unit.
Key Capabilities
Genuine Axis Replacement Part
Supplied as an official Axis spare part under part number 02197-001, this dome cover is manufactured to the same specification as the original component fitted to the P3715-PLVE at the time of production, ensuring a secure and accurate fit.
Clear Optical Dome
The clear dome profile is designed to allow full, unobstructed light transmission through to the camera lens. Replacing a scratched or hazy dome restores the camera’s ability to capture clean imagery across its full field of view.
Exclusive P3715-PLVE Compatibility
This spare part is specifically engineered for the AXIS P3715-PLVE Network Camera. Using a part matched to the original camera model avoids fitment issues that can arise with generic or third-party dome covers.
Cost-Effective Camera Restoration
Replacing a damaged dome cover rather than the entire camera unit is a practical and cost-effective approach to site maintenance, reducing downtime and avoiding the full expense of a camera replacement when only the dome has been affected.
Best For
- Damaged Dome Replacement: Suitable for sites where the original dome cover on a P3715-PLVE has been scratched, cracked, or discoloured, and the camera body and electronics remain fully functional.
- Service Contract Maintenance: Useful for installers and integrators managing ongoing service agreements who need to carry genuine spare parts for rapid field repairs without full unit replacement.
- Facilities and Operations Teams: Suited to in-house facilities teams at sites running the AXIS P3715-PLVE who prefer to hold spare components on-site for prompt maintenance without waiting on full camera procurement lead times.
Why Choose the Axis TP3803-E Clear Dome
When a dome cover on the AXIS P3715-PLVE is physically compromised, using a genuine replacement part is the correct approach. The TP3803-E is manufactured by Axis specifically for this camera model, meaning the fitment, curvature, and optical properties match the original component exactly. A generic or incompatible dome cover risks poor seating, light interference, or distortion across the image, which undermines the panoramic coverage the P3715-PLVE is designed to provide. Rather than writing off a fully functional camera body over a damaged dome, replacing only the dome cover under part number 02197-001 keeps the camera operational at a fraction of the cost of full unit replacement. The TP3803-E Clear Dome is available through Security Wholesalers as part of their range of genuine Axis accessories and spare parts, supporting installers and facilities teams across Australia.
Buyer Decision Tips
Confirm Camera Model Before Ordering: The TP3803-E Clear Dome is designed exclusively for the AXIS P3715-PLVE Network Camera. Before purchasing, verify that the installed camera is specifically this model. Dome covers are model-specific components and this part will not fit other Axis camera models. Check the label on the camera housing or the original purchase documentation to confirm the model number prior to ordering.

Ideal Use Cases
Post-Vandalism Repair
Where a P3715-PLVE dome has been deliberately damaged or scratched, the TP3803-E allows the camera to be returned to service using a genuine replacement dome, avoiding full camera replacement costs.
Preventive Maintenance Stock
Facilities teams managing sites with multiple P3715-PLVE cameras can hold the TP3803-E as a stocked spare to minimise camera downtime when a dome cover needs replacement during scheduled maintenance cycles.
Installer Service Kits
Security integrators providing ongoing maintenance contracts can include the 02197-001 spare dome as part of their field service kit, enabling prompt dome-only replacement during site visits rather than scheduling a return call.
Environmental Discolouration Restoration
In environments where chemical exposure, UV degradation, or heavy cleaning has caused the original dome to haze or yellow over time, replacing with the clear TP3803-E restores the original optical performance of the P3715-PLVE.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You have an AXIS P3715-PLVE Network Camera with a damaged, scratched, cracked, or degraded dome cover and need a genuine Axis replacement part (02197-001) to restore the camera to full operational condition.
- Choose a different model if: Your installed camera is not the AXIS P3715-PLVE. Dome covers are model-specific, and this part will not fit other Axis camera models. If the camera body, electronics, or mounting have also been damaged, a full camera replacement may be the more appropriate solution.
FAQs
- What camera is the AXIS TP3803-E Clear Dome compatible with?
The TP3803-E Clear Dome is a spare part designed exclusively for the AXIS P3715-PLVE Network Camera. It is not a universal dome cover and will not fit other Axis camera models. Always confirm the installed camera model before ordering this replacement component.
- What does the part number 02197-001 refer to?
02197-001 is the official Axis part number for the AXIS TP3803-E Clear Dome. This is the number to reference when ordering through a distributor or checking stock. It is consistent across Axis authorised channels in Australia and other supported regions.
- Will replacing the dome affect the camera’s image quality?
Replacing a damaged or hazy dome with a genuine clear dome spare part restores the original optical path of the camera. A scratched or discoloured dome can degrade image quality, particularly on a wide-area camera like the P3715-PLVE where the dome covers a broad lens arrangement. Using the correct genuine replacement avoids distortion or fitment gaps that could affect performance.
- Is this a genuine Axis product or a third-party replacement?
The AXIS TP3803-E Clear Dome is a genuine Axis Communications spare part, available through Security Wholesalers as part of the authorised Axis accessories range. It is manufactured to the same specification as the original dome shipped with the P3715-PLVE camera.
- Can I replace the dome myself or does it require a technician?
Dome replacement on installed cameras should be carried out by a qualified installer or technician familiar with the AXIS P3715-PLVE. Incorrect reassembly may affect the camera’s housing integrity or sealing. Refer to the Axis documentation for the P3715-PLVE for specific disassembly and reassembly guidance.
