Axis 01584-001 Clear Dome Cover 2-Pack for Q3517-SLVE
Overview
The Axis 01584-001 is a factory-matched pair of IK10+-rated polycarbonate clear dome covers designed exclusively for the AXIS Q3517-SLVE fixed dome camera. If your installation has taken impact damage, accumulated scratches that degrade image clarity, or simply needs a spare cover on hand for rapid field swap, these domes restore the camera to factory-spec optical performance without replacing the full unit. Sourced as genuine Axis replacement parts, each cover is manufactured to the same optical tolerances as the original — meaning the image your camera captures through a replacement dome is identical to what it delivered out of the box.
At IK10+, the vandal resistance rating here exceeds the standard IK10 benchmark (which defines resistance to 20-joule impacts). That matters in environments where the camera is mounted within reach — retail corridors, parking structures, school hallways, transit stations — anywhere a determined actor could strike the dome directly. A compromised dome that still looks intact can introduce optical distortion, hazing, or IR scatter that quietly degrades evidence quality without triggering an obvious alert. Keeping a spare set of 01584-001 domes on the shelf means a technician can swap and restore in minutes rather than waiting on a parts order.
Key Features
- IK10+ Vandal Rating: Exceeds the IK10 standard for impact resistance — engineered to withstand strikes in high-traffic or accessible mounting positions without cracking, crazing, or distorting the optical path. Critical for maintaining image integrity after an impact event rather than discovering degraded footage after the fact.
- Polycarbonate Construction: Polycarbonate delivers a better strength-to-weight ratio than standard acrylic domes, resisting both impact and environmental stress-cracking over time. The material is optically clear and formulated to avoid yellowing or hazing under UV exposure — relevant for installations near windows or in sun-exposed atriums.
- Clear Optical Finish: The clear dome preserves full visible-spectrum and near-infrared light transmission, so the Q3517-SLVE's imaging sensor and IR illumination operate without color shift or IR-blocking interference. A tinted or smoked dome would reduce low-light sensitivity — this clear variant avoids that tradeoff entirely.
- Factory-Matched Fit for Q3517-SLVE: Designed specifically for the Axis Q3517-SLVE dome camera body. Precision fit ensures the dome seats correctly against the camera housing seal, maintaining any environmental protection the camera chassis provides and eliminating the alignment guesswork of aftermarket covers.
- Two-Piece Pack: Supplied as a matched pair, making it practical to stock one as an immediate swap and hold the second as a backup — or deploy both simultaneously across two cameras in the same installation. Reduces per-unit parts cost compared to single-dome sourcing.
Integration & Compatibility
The 01584-001 (often searched as 01584 001) is designed for use exclusively with the AXIS Q3517-SLVE fixed dome camera. It is not a universal dome cover and is not confirmed compatible with other models in the Axis fixed dome camera line without verification. If you are sourcing replacement domes for a different Q-series model, confirm the part number against that camera's spare parts list before ordering.
For installers building out a complete Q3517-SLVE deployment, pair these covers with appropriate camera mounts and brackets and ensure your NVR or recording platform is configured before field commissioning — having spare domes on site at install time eliminates a return trip if a cover is damaged during initial mounting. For guidance on planning multi-camera coverage layouts, the camera selection and coverage planning guide covers field-of-view and positioning fundamentals relevant to Q3517-SLVE deployments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What camera is the Axis 01584-001 compatible with?
A: The 01584-001 is designed specifically for the AXIS Q3517-SLVE fixed dome camera. It is not confirmed compatible with other Axis dome models — verify the part number against your specific camera's spare parts documentation before ordering.
Q: What is the vandal resistance rating of the 01584-001 dome cover?
A: The dome carries an IK10+ rating, which exceeds the standard IK10 impact resistance benchmark. This makes it appropriate for installations in accessible or high-traffic locations where physical contact with the camera is a realistic risk.
Q: Is the dome cover clear or tinted?
A: The 01584-001 is a clear dome. It does not reduce visible-spectrum or near-infrared light transmission, preserving the Q3517-SLVE's full imaging and IR performance. A tinted variant is not confirmed available under this part number.
Q: What material is the 01584-001 dome cover made from?
A: The dome is constructed from polycarbonate, which provides higher impact resistance and better long-term optical clarity compared to standard acrylic. Polycarbonate resists stress-cracking and UV-induced yellowing over time.
Q: How many dome covers are included in the 01584-001 package?
A: The 01584-001 ships as a 2-piece set — two clear dome covers per order.
Q: Can I use the 01584-001 dome on a camera from a different manufacturer?
A: No. The 01584-001 is a factory-matched Axis replacement part engineered to fit the Q3517-SLVE specifically. Physical dimensions, seating geometry, and optical tolerances are matched to that camera body. Using it on a different manufacturer's camera is not supported.
The detail that matters most on the 01584-001 is the IK10+ rating — not IK10, but IK10+, which is the level above the standard 20-joule ceiling. In schools, transit stations, or any facility where the camera sits at head height or lower, that increment is worth having documented in your as-built specs, particularly when an insurer or facilities manager asks what protection was in place after an incident.
Technical Highlights:
- IK10+ Impact Resistance: Exceeds the standard IK10 (20-joule) threshold — the polycarbonate shell is engineered to absorb higher-energy strikes without fracturing or distorting, which keeps the optical path clean even after a direct hit.
- Polycarbonate vs. Acrylic: Polycarbonate is roughly 250 times more impact-resistant than standard glass and significantly tougher than acrylic dome materials used in lower-cost housings — directly relevant when specifying for vandal-prone zones.
- Clear Optical Transmission: No tint, no IR-blocking coating — the dome passes the full spectrum the Q3517-SLVE sensor and IR array rely on, so low-light and IR performance remain uncompromised after a swap.
Deployment Considerations:
- Stock at least one 01584-001 pair on site before commissioning Q3517-SLVE installations in accessible locations — a dome swap is a 10-minute field repair versus a days-long parts wait that leaves a camera visually degraded or offline.
- Confirm you are ordering 01584-001 specifically for the Q3517-SLVE; other Q-series models use different dome part numbers and the fit is not interchangeable across the family without Axis parts documentation confirming compatibility.
Best fit for facilities teams managing Q3517-SLVE deployments in high-contact environments — transit hubs, school common areas, retail corridors — where a spare dome on the shelf is a practical operational decision, not just a nice-to-have.
