Product Overview
For installers mounting AXIS P34 series dome cameras in exposed outdoor positions, the AXIS TP3845-E Weathershield provides direct protection against sun glare and precipitation that can degrade image quality over time. Raindrops landing on a dome bubble create visual interference that no software correction can fully compensate for, and prolonged direct sunlight accelerates dome material degradation. The TP3845-E fits over compatible AXIS P34 dome cameras to shield the dome surface from these conditions, reducing rain and dirt accumulation that would otherwise require more frequent on-site cleaning. The 03527-001 pack includes 2 weathershields, making it suited to multi-camera deployments where consistent outdoor protection is needed across several mounting positions. Anti-loss screws are included to secure the shield during installation. This is a purpose-built Axis accessory, not a generic third-party cover, ensuring a correctly dimensioned fit with the P34 dome housing.
Key Capabilities
Rain and Precipitation Protection
Shields the dome surface from direct rainfall and water droplets, reducing the visual interference that raindrops cause on exposed dome cameras. This matters most on cameras mounted at roof level, under eaves gaps, or in locations without natural overhead shelter.
Sun Glare Reduction
Provides a physical shade over the dome to reduce direct sunlight hitting the lens, which can wash out image detail and cause lens flare. Useful on cameras oriented toward east or west exposures, or on building facades that receive strong afternoon sun.
Dirt and Contamination Reduction
Reduces the rate at which airborne dirt and grime settle on the dome surface, extending the interval between cleaning visits. For cameras at height or in hard-to-access positions, fewer maintenance trips translate directly to lower ongoing servicing costs.
2-Pack Format for Multi-Camera Sites
Supplied as a 2-unit pack under SKU 03527-001, making it practical to order weathershields in proportion to camera quantities on larger installations, reducing per-unit cost and simplifying procurement for sites with multiple outdoor AXIS P34 cameras.
Best For
- Exposed Outdoor Mounting Positions: AXIS P34 dome cameras installed on building exteriors, rooflines, or open-air ceilings where there is no overhead shelter from rain or direct sun.
- High-Traffic Outdoor Dome Deployments: Sites with multiple outdoor AXIS P34 cameras where the 2-pack format reduces procurement overhead and ensures consistent protection across all positions.
- Hard-to-Access Mounting Locations: Cameras at height or in areas where cleaning access is difficult, where reducing dome contamination frequency lowers the cost and effort of ongoing maintenance.
Why Choose the AXIS TP3845-E Weathershield
The AXIS TP3845-E is a manufacturer-matched accessory sized and shaped specifically for AXIS P34 series dome cameras. A generic aftermarket cover may not align correctly with the dome housing, creating gaps that allow water ingress or positioning that partially blocks the camera’s field of view. The TP3845-E avoids both issues by being purpose-designed for P34 compatibility. For sites where AXIS P34 cameras are deployed in rain-exposed or high-sun positions, adding the TP3845-E is a straightforward way to protect image quality and reduce dome fouling without modifying the camera installation itself. Anti-loss screws are included, so the shield stays secured through wind and weather without requiring additional hardware sourcing. The 2-pack format available through Security Wholesalers is a practical choice for installers equipping multiple outdoor camera positions on a single project.
Buyer Tip: Confirm your AXIS P34 camera variant before ordering. The TP3845-E Weathershield is designed for the P34 dome series specifically. If you require weathershields for other Axis dome families, verify compatibility against the Axis accessory selector, as different housing diameters require different shield models. For single-camera requirements, the single-unit variant with SKU 03527-001-ps may be more appropriate than the 2-pack.

Ideal Use Cases
Building Exteriors and Facades
AXIS P34 cameras mounted on external building walls face direct rainfall and sun exposure. The TP3845-E reduces dome fouling and glare on positions that cannot rely on building overhangs or canopies for natural protection.
Car Parks and Open-Air Structures
Multi-level or open-air car parks expose dome cameras to rain and afternoon sun from multiple angles. The weathershield helps maintain clear dome surfaces across camera positions that are costly to access for routine cleaning.
Covered Walkways and Canopy Edges
Cameras mounted at the edge of a canopy or pergola structure may still receive wind-driven rain and significant sun exposure. The TP3845-E adds a layer of protection where the existing structure does not provide full coverage.
Commercial and Industrial Outdoor Sites
Warehouses, logistics yards, and industrial facilities often deploy multiple outdoor dome cameras across wide areas. The 2-pack format of the TP3845-E suits bulk procurement on these larger installations.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You are installing AXIS P34 series dome cameras in outdoor positions exposed to rain, sun, or airborne contaminants, and want a manufacturer-matched weathershield that fits correctly without blocking the field of view.
- Choose a different model if: Your outdoor AXIS dome cameras belong to a different series outside the P34 family. Weathershields are housing-specific, and an incorrectly sized shield will not seat properly against the dome bezel. Check the Axis accessory compatibility list for your specific camera model before ordering.
- Choose the single-unit variant if: You only need protection for 1 outdoor camera position. The single-unit variant (SKU 03527-001-ps) avoids the need to hold a spare weathershield on site.
FAQs
- Which cameras does the AXIS TP3845-E Weathershield fit?
The TP3845-E is designed for AXIS P34 series dome cameras. It is a manufacturer-specified accessory sized for the P34 dome housing dimensions. Using it with cameras outside the P34 family is not confirmed compatible and may result in a poor fit or partial obstruction of the camera’s field of view.
- How many weathershields are included in SKU 03527-001?
SKU 03527-001 is the 2-pack variant of the AXIS TP3845-E Weathershield, containing 2 individual shields per order. If you only need a single unit, the single-unit variant carries SKU 03527-001-ps. Anti-loss screws are included with both variants.
- Does the weathershield affect the camera’s field of view?
The TP3845-E is purpose-designed for AXIS P34 dome cameras, so it is dimensioned to shield the dome surface without intruding into the camera’s field of view when fitted correctly. Generic or incorrectly sized covers carry a higher risk of partial view obstruction, which is one reason a manufacturer-matched accessory is preferred.
- Does the TP3845-E waterproof the camera?
The weathershield is not a waterproofing solution for the camera body itself. Its function is to reduce rain droplets and dirt landing directly on the dome surface, which degrades image clarity. The camera’s own IP ingress rating remains the relevant specification for housing waterproofing. The shield adds a protective layer over the dome to maintain image quality in wet conditions.
- Where can I purchase the AXIS TP3845-E Weathershield 2-pack?
The AXIS TP3845-E Weathershield 2-pack (SKU 03527-001) is part of the Security Wholesalers range and can be ordered directly through the Security Wholesalers website. It is stocked as an Axis-branded accessory for trade and installer customers.
