Axis 01157-001 Q35-LV Black Skin Cover, 5-Pack
Overview
The Axis 01157-001 is a pack of five black skin covers designed specifically for the AXIS Q35-LV camera. If you're deploying Q35-LV units in environments where the cover gets replaced during maintenance cycles, damaged in high-traffic areas, or needs to match a specific aesthetic standard, this five-piece pack is the correct service part to stock. Each cover is a genuine Axis component — not an aftermarket substitute — so fit and finish stay consistent with the original camera housing.
The black colorway is the standard finish for Q35-LV deployments in most commercial and retail environments. Purchasing a five-pack (01157-001, sometimes searched as 01157 001) makes sense for integrators managing multi-camera installations where a single replacement unit at a time would be inefficient. Having spares on the shelf cuts service call time: a technician swaps the cover on-site rather than waiting on a single-unit order.
Compatibility
The 01157-001 is confirmed compatible with the Axis Q35-LV camera only. Do not assume cross-compatibility with other Q-series or fixed-dome models — Axis skin covers are model-specific, and forcing an ill-fitting cover risks damaging the camera's optical path or environmental seal. If you're working with a different Q35-series variant, verify the correct skin cover part number against the Axis accessory selector before ordering.
For integrators stocking spare parts across a fleet of IP cameras, it's worth cross-referencing your camera models against the correct cover SKUs before placing a bulk order. A mismatch discovered on-site delays a maintenance window.
Installation Notes
Skin cover replacement on the Q35-LV is a field-serviceable task. No special tooling is required beyond what is standard for Axis dome camera maintenance. The cover swap does not require camera reconfiguration or network downtime — the camera remains powered during a cover swap if the technician works carefully, though powering down is the safer approach to avoid accidental lens contact. Review the Axis Q35-LV installation guide for the correct removal sequence to avoid cracking the cover retaining tabs.
If your Q35-LV units are part of a broader NVR-managed recording system, the cover replacement has no impact on stream configuration or recording schedules. This is a purely physical maintenance item.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What camera model is the 01157-001 skin cover compatible with?
A: The 01157-001 is designed specifically for the AXIS Q35-LV camera. It is not confirmed compatible with other Axis models.
Q: How many covers are included in the 01157-001 pack?
A: The pack includes 5 black skin covers.
Q: What color is the 01157-001 skin cover?
A: Black.
Q: Is the 01157-001 a genuine Axis part or aftermarket?
A: The 01157-001 is a genuine Axis accessory sourced factory-new — not an aftermarket or third-party substitute.
Q: Does replacing the skin cover affect the camera's IP rating or warranty?
A: Evidence does not confirm the impact on IP rating or warranty terms. Consult Axis documentation or your support channel before replacing covers on cameras still within their service agreement.
The 01157-001 is a straightforward service part — five black skin covers for the AXIS Q35-LV — but the decision to stock it is worth thinking through before a maintenance window opens up and you're waiting on a single-unit ship.
Technical Highlights:
- Five-unit pack: Stocking five covers at once is the practical minimum for any multi-camera Q35-LV deployment — one damaged cover on a 20-camera site shouldn't require a separate order and a second truck roll.
- Model-specific fit: Axis skin covers are not universal. The 01157-001 is confirmed for the Q35-LV specifically — the correct fit matters for maintaining housing integrity and optical alignment.
- Black colorway: The standard black finish matches the Q35-LV's default housing, keeping replaced units visually consistent with the rest of the installation — relevant in customer-facing environments where aesthetics are part of the spec.
Deployment Considerations:
- Verify your camera model before ordering — the Q35-LV has related variants, and the wrong skin cover won't seat correctly, potentially leaving the housing unsealed.
- If Q35-LV cameras are deployed in environments with frequent physical contact (retail, transit, high-traffic corridors), budget for periodic cover replacement and keep at least one five-pack per installation site in your spare parts inventory.
The 01157-001 is the right stocking choice for integrators managing ongoing Q35-LV fleets in retail or commercial environments where cover damage during routine maintenance or high-traffic wear is a realistic service scenario.
