Product Overview
Protecting a dome camera’s optical surface from everyday wear is easily overlooked until scratches or surface damage start affecting image quality. The AXIS TQ6809 Clear Dome Cover is a hard-coated replacement and protective accessory designed specifically for the AXIS Q60 series of dome cameras. Featuring a precision-moulded transparent shell, it fits securely over the camera’s dome housing to shield it from dust, debris and incidental contact during day-to-day operation. The hard-coated surface resists surface scratching caused by cleaning, routine maintenance and environmental exposure, helping maintain optical clarity over the camera’s service life. It is suited to high-traffic commercial environments, institutional facilities and any installation where the camera dome is at risk of surface wear. The low-profile clear finish integrates cleanly into existing Q60 series installations without altering the camera’s visual appearance or field of view.
Key Capabilities
Hard-Coated Surface
The scratch-resistant hard coating protects the dome’s transparent surface from cleaning abrasion, incidental contact and general handling, prolonging optical clarity without requiring frequent replacement.
Optical Clarity Preserved
Engineered from a clear material with minimal optical distortion, this cover allows the Q60 camera to record sharp, unobstructed footage without introducing haze, colour shift or glare artefacts into the image.
Precision Fit for Q60 Series
Designed to match the housing contours of AXIS Q60 series dome cameras exactly, ensuring a snug and secure fit that does not shift during normal operation or routine maintenance access.
Environmental and Physical Protection
Acts as a first line of defence against dust accumulation, airborne particles and minor impacts in high-traffic or exposed installation environments, helping extend the usable life of the camera housing.
Best For
- Replacement After Surface Damage: Restores optical clarity on Q60 cameras where the original dome has been scratched or dulled through cleaning or contact over time.
- High-Traffic Commercial Installations: Adds a protective layer in retail, hospitality and institutional environments where cameras are regularly cleaned or are within reach of the public.
- Preventive Maintenance Planning: Stocking spares as part of a planned maintenance programme reduces downtime when a dome surface needs replacement across multiple Q60 camera sites.
Why Choose the AXIS TQ6809
The AXIS TQ6809 is the manufacturer-specified dome cover for Q60 series cameras, which means the optical geometry, fit tolerances and material are matched to the original camera design. Generic or aftermarket dome covers can introduce optical distortion, poor fit or incompatible materials that degrade image performance or leave the housing vulnerable to ingress. The hard-coated surface on the TQ6809 specifically addresses the most common cause of dome degradation: surface scratching from cleaning and contact. For facilities management teams and security installers who maintain Q60 deployments over multi-year contracts, having the correct replacement part on hand avoids extended camera downtime. Available at Security Wholesalers, the TQ6809 is a straightforward, cost-effective way to maintain the performance and appearance of a Q60 series installation without replacing the entire camera unit.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Confirm that your camera is from the AXIS Q60 series before ordering. The TQ6809 is engineered specifically for Q60 series dome housings, and fitting it to a different Axis camera family or a third-party dome may result in an incorrect fit, gaps in the housing seal or optical misalignment. Check your camera’s model label or the Axis compatibility documentation if you are uncertain of the series.

Ideal Use Cases
Retail Environments
In stores where cameras are regularly wiped down as part of cleaning routines, the hard-coated surface resists the micro-scratching that dulls standard dome covers and gradually reduces image sharpness.
Schools and Institutional Facilities
In corridors, common areas and classrooms where cameras are within reach, the dome cover provides a replaceable protective barrier that can be swapped out during routine maintenance without touching the camera itself.
Hospitality and Public Venues
Hotels, entertainment venues and public buildings benefit from maintaining a clean and professional camera appearance. Replacing a scratched dome cover restores the camera’s original finish at a fraction of the cost of a full unit replacement.
Planned Maintenance Programmes
Security integrators managing multi-site Q60 deployments can stock TQ6809 covers as a standard spare, allowing fast dome replacement during scheduled service visits without ordering delays or extended camera downtime.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: you are maintaining AXIS Q60 series dome cameras and need a clear, hard-coated replacement dome cover that preserves the original optical performance and housing fit.
- Choose a different model if: your camera is not from the AXIS Q60 series, as dome covers from other camera families will not fit correctly. If you require a tinted or smoked dome finish rather than a clear cover, check whether Axis offers an alternative finish option for the Q60 series to suit your installation’s aesthetic or glare requirements.
FAQs
- Which Axis cameras is the TQ6809 compatible with?
The TQ6809 is designed for AXIS Q60 series dome cameras. It is precision-moulded to fit the Q60 housing geometry. Before ordering, confirm that your specific Q60 model is listed in Axis’s compatibility documentation for this accessory, as compatibility may vary across different Q60 variants.
- What does the hard coating on this dome cover actually do?
The hard coating is a surface treatment applied to the clear dome material that increases resistance to scratching. This is particularly relevant in installations where the dome is regularly wiped down during cleaning, as uncoated covers can develop fine surface scratches over time that reduce image clarity and dull the camera’s appearance.
- Will fitting this cover reduce the Q60 camera’s image quality?
No. The TQ6809 is a clear, optically transparent cover engineered to match the Q60 housing. It is designed to introduce minimal optical interference, preserving the camera’s field of view and recorded image sharpness during normal operation.
- Can this dome cover be replaced in the field without removing the camera?
Yes. The cover is designed for straightforward on-site replacement as part of routine maintenance. It fits over the existing dome housing and can be swapped out without complex disassembly, making it practical for maintenance technicians servicing Q60 cameras across multiple sites. The TQ6809 is part of the Security Wholesalers range of Axis accessories for this purpose.
- Is this cover suitable for outdoor Q60 installations?
The TQ6809 is described as suitable for indoor and outdoor environments, though outdoor suitability applies primarily to sheltered installations where the camera itself is already rated and mounted appropriately. The cover’s protective role is to shield the dome surface from dust, debris and contact rather than to add independent weatherproofing to the camera assembly.
