Product Overview
When a dome cover on an AXIS Q9227-SLV Corner Camera is scratched, cracked, or needs to be changed from clear to smoked, the AXIS TQ9804 Smoked Dome Cover is the manufacturer-matched replacement. Designed specifically for the AXIS Q9227-SLV, this spare dome cover is not a camera component with electronics – it is a precision-moulded polycarbonate dome shell, finished with an anti-scratch hard coat to maintain optical clarity over extended service life. The smoked finish obscures the lens direction from casual observers, which is a common requirement in professional corner camera installations across corporate lobbies, retail floors, and hospitality venues. Featuring polycarbonate construction for durability and a hard-coat surface treatment that resists abrasion from cleaning and environmental contact, the TQ9804 provides a clean and professional appearance that is consistent with the original factory specification of the Q9227-SLV installation.
Key Capabilities
Smoked Finish for Lens Direction Privacy
The smoked dome obscures the internal lens orientation from direct view, a common site requirement in customer-facing environments such as retail stores, hotel receptions, and corporate entry points where camera discretion is part of the installation brief.
Anti-Scratch Hard Coat Surface
The hard-coat treatment protects the polycarbonate surface from abrasion caused by routine cleaning, dust, and incidental contact. This extends the service life of the dome and maintains consistent image transmission quality through the cover over time.
Polycarbonate Construction
Polycarbonate is the standard dome material for professional surveillance housings due to its impact resistance and dimensional stability. It withstands the mechanical stress of installation, adjustment, and everyday corner-camera environments without cracking or distorting.
Exact-Fit Compatibility with AXIS Q9227-SLV
The TQ9804 is engineered to fit the AXIS Q9227-SLV Corner Camera precisely. Using the manufacturer-specified dome replacement ensures correct mechanical fitment, seal integrity, and optical alignment – outcomes that generic or mismatched covers cannot guarantee.
Best For
- Replacing a Damaged Dome: If the existing dome on an AXIS Q9227-SLV has been scratched, cracked, or yellowed, the TQ9804 restores the housing to factory condition using the correct manufacturer part.
- Switching to a Smoked Finish: Installers or site managers who need to change an existing clear dome to a smoked finish for discretion or site appearance requirements can use the TQ9804 as a direct swap.
- Maintaining Spare Parts Inventory: Systems integrators and maintenance teams managing multiple AXIS Q9227-SLV installations benefit from keeping TQ9804 covers on hand to minimise downtime during scheduled or emergency servicing.
Why Choose the AXIS TQ9804
The AXIS TQ9804 is the manufacturer-specified smoked dome cover for the AXIS Q9227-SLV Corner Camera, which means it is designed to meet the original mechanical and optical tolerances of that housing. A non-specified or generic dome cover may appear to fit but can introduce alignment issues, uneven sealing, or optical interference that degrades image quality. The anti-scratch hard coat sets this dome apart from uncoated replacements by providing durability against the cleaning cycles and physical contact typical in commercial installations. The polycarbonate material offers the structural integrity expected in a professional surveillance fitting. For integrators and end users who want to maintain their AXIS Q9227-SLV installation to manufacturer standard, the TQ9804 is the straightforward, confirmed-compatible choice. It is available through Security Wholesalers as part of the Axis accessories range.
Buyer Decision Tips
Confirm Camera Compatibility Before Ordering: The AXIS TQ9804 Smoked Dome Cover is designed exclusively for the AXIS Q9227-SLV Corner Camera. It is not a universal dome and will not fit other Axis camera models. Before ordering, verify that the camera requiring a dome replacement is specifically the AXIS Q9227-SLV to avoid a mismatch.

Ideal Use Cases
Corporate Lobby and Reception Areas
Corner camera installations in entry and reception zones benefit from a smoked dome where the AXIS Q9227-SLV is deployed. The TQ9804’s smoked finish maintains a professional appearance while concealing the lens direction from visitors and staff.
Retail Stores and Shopping Centres
Retail environments routinely require smoked dome finishes to prevent customers identifying which way a corner camera is pointing. The TQ9804 supports this requirement for Q9227-SLV units mounted in overhead corner positions across shop floors and aisles.
Hospitality Venues and Hotels
Hotels and hospitality operators using the AXIS Q9227-SLV in corridor and lobby corners can maintain a discreet, unobtrusive surveillance presence with the smoked TQ9804 dome, consistent with the aesthetic standards of premium venues.
Scheduled Maintenance and Spare Parts Programs
Systems integrators managing ongoing service contracts for sites running AXIS Q9227-SLV cameras can stock the TQ9804 as a confirmed-compatible spare, allowing fast dome replacement without delays from ordering individual parts during a maintenance visit.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You are maintaining or servicing an AXIS Q9227-SLV Corner Camera and need a smoked dome replacement that is confirmed compatible with that specific housing and meets the anti-scratch hard coat standard of the original fitting.
- Choose a different model if: The camera requiring a dome replacement is not an AXIS Q9227-SLV. Dome covers are housing-specific and the TQ9804 is not designed to fit any other Axis camera model. Contact your Axis distributor to confirm the correct dome part number for a different unit.
FAQs
- Which camera is the AXIS TQ9804 compatible with?
The AXIS TQ9804 Smoked Dome Cover is designed specifically for the AXIS Q9227-SLV Corner Camera. It is not a universal dome cover and is not confirmed compatible with any other Axis camera model. If you are unsure which camera you have, check the model label on the camera housing before ordering.
- What is the purpose of a smoked dome on a corner camera?
A smoked dome obscures the direction the internal lens is pointing, which prevents observers from determining the camera’s exact field of view. This is a standard requirement in customer-facing commercial environments such as retail stores, hotel corridors, and corporate receptions where discretion in surveillance coverage is expected.
- What does the anti-scratch hard coat do?
The anti-scratch hard coat is a surface treatment applied to the outside of the polycarbonate dome. It protects the dome from abrasion caused by cleaning cloths, airborne particulates, and incidental contact during installation or servicing. Without a hard coat, polycarbonate can scratch relatively easily, which scatters light and can degrade the image visible through the dome over time.
- Is the AXIS TQ9804 a camera or just a dome cover?
The TQ9804 is a dome cover accessory only. It contains no image sensor, lens, electronics, or processing components. It is a replacement or spare polycarbonate dome shell designed to be fitted over the existing camera mechanism of the AXIS Q9227-SLV Corner Camera.
- Where can I purchase the AXIS TQ9804 in Australia?
The AXIS TQ9804 Smoked Dome Cover, SKU 03157-001, is available through Security Wholesalers as part of the Axis accessories and spare parts range. It is listed as available in the AU region, confirming it is supplied through the standard Australian distribution channel for Axis products.
