Axis 01947-001 Smoked Dome Cover for Q60-E/-C PTZ Cameras
Overview
The Axis TQ6807 is a smoked dome cover designed specifically for Axis Q60-E and Q60-C series PTZ cameras. Part number 01947-001 (often searched as 01947 001) replaces or supplements the standard clear dome with a tinted alternative — useful when you need to obscure the camera's pan-and-tilt direction from view while maintaining optical performance through the dome material. If your deployment requires discretion about where the lens is pointed at any given moment, a smoked cover is the straightforward answer.
This is a genuine Axis replacement part, sourced factory-new. Fitting an off-brand or ill-fitting dome on a precision PTZ housing risks optical distortion, seal compromise, and voided coverage — none of which you want after commissioning. The TQ6807 is engineered to the same tolerances as the original equipment.
Key Features
- Smoked Tint: The dark tinted dome prevents observers from tracking the camera's lens direction — a meaningful deterrent in retail, gaming, and high-security environments where pan-and-tilt direction disclosure would undermine the monitoring strategy.
- Purpose-Fit Compatibility: Engineered specifically for the AXIS Q60-E and Q60-C PTZ camera families — not a universal cover. This ensures correct optical alignment and housing seal integrity without modification or shimming.
- Dome Form Factor: The dome shape matches the original equipment profile, so installation is a direct swap. No bracket changes, no housing modifications required when replacing a damaged or clear dome on an existing Q60 mount.
- Genuine Axis Part: Factory-new Axis component. Aftermarket domes introduce variables in optical clarity and UV resistance that compound over time in outdoor-rated housings — this is not a category where sourcing matters less.
Integration & Compatibility
The 01947-001 is compatible with Axis Q60-E and Q60-C series cameras. If you are running a different Axis PTZ family — such as the Q61 or P55 series — verify the correct dome part number before ordering, as dome covers are model-specific and do not interchange between PTZ chassis generations. Consult the PTZ camera selection guide if you are still evaluating which Q60 variant fits your coverage requirements before committing to accessories.
For installations where the camera is mounted in a pendant or in-ceiling housing, confirm that the housing's dome aperture is sized for the TQ6807 profile — the smoked dome fits the Q60 chassis, but third-party housings vary.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What cameras is the Axis 01947-001 compatible with?
A: The TQ6807 smoked dome cover is designed for AXIS Q60-E and Q60-C series PTZ cameras. It is not a universal dome — use only on the Q60-E/-C chassis to ensure correct fit and seal.
Q: Does a smoked dome affect image quality?
A: The smoked tint reduces the visible light transmission through the dome, which can affect low-light performance to some degree depending on the tint density. Axis designs the TQ6807 for use with the Q60 optical system, but if your scene has very low ambient light, evaluate whether the smoked versus clear dome is the right trade-off for your coverage requirements.
Q: Can the 01947-001 be installed in the field, or does it require a service return?
A: Dome cover replacement on Q60-series cameras is a field-serviceable procedure. No return to depot is required — the dome swaps directly on the installed camera housing.
Q: Is the Axis TQ6807 a genuine Axis part?
A: Yes. The 01947-001 is a genuine, factory-new Axis component sourced through the manufacturer's supply chain — not an aftermarket or grey-market substitute.
Q: Will the smoked dome void my camera warranty?
A: Using a genuine Axis dome cover like the TQ6807 on a compatible Q60-E/-C camera is the manufacturer-intended replacement path. Using non-genuine parts may affect manufacturer warranty coverage — another reason to specify the correct Axis part number.
The 01947-001 is a straightforward spec item, but I've seen integrators trip on dome compatibility more than once — ordering a cover that doesn't seat properly on the Q60 chassis because they grabbed a generic or cross-family part. The TQ6807 is the correct smoked dome for Q60-E and Q60-C PTZ cameras, full stop. If your purchase order references a Q61 or a P55, you need a different part number.
Technical Highlights:
- Smoked Tint: Prevents bystanders and subjects from reading the pan-and-tilt direction of the lens — a real operational consideration in loss-prevention and gaming floor deployments where predictable camera angles are a vulnerability.
- Model-Specific Fit: Engineered to Q60-E/-C tolerances — correct dome seating preserves the housing's environmental rating and optical axis alignment without rework.
- Genuine Axis Component: Factory-new part from the Axis supply chain; aftermarket alternatives introduce optical and UV degradation variables that a genuine dome avoids.
Deployment Considerations:
- Verify the exact Q60 variant in your BOM before ordering — Q60-E (outdoor) and Q60-C (connector box) share this dome, but other Axis PTZ families do not.
- Smoked domes reduce light transmission versus clear — if the Q60 is covering a very dark scene or relies heavily on IR illumination, weigh the trade-off before specifying smoked over clear.
The TQ6807 is the right call for retail floors, gaming surveillance, and corporate lobbies where operator direction privacy matters — environments where a clear dome's visible lens tracking undercuts the deterrence or investigative value of the PTZ.
