Axis TQ6811-E Hydrophilic Dome Cover - 02576-001

Axis 02576-001 Hydrophilic Dome Cover

Overview

The Axis TQ6811-E (model 02576-001) is a replacement dome cover built from hydrophilic polycarbonate for Axis IP surveillance cameras operating in moisture-heavy environments. Hydrophilic coating actively repels water droplets rather than allowing them to bead and obscure the lens — a critical distinction in high-humidity, coastal, or rain-prone deployments where standard acrylic domes degrade image quality. This cover solves the persistent problem of water-streaked or fogged footage that triggers false motion alerts and compromises forensic usability.

Compatibility

The 02576-001 is engineered for Axis extreme-environment dome camera systems. Verify compatibility with your specific Axis camera model before ordering — dome cover attachment points and lens diameters vary across the Axis product line. Consult your camera's installation guide or contact a pre-sales engineer to confirm fit.

Installation Notes

Installation depends on your parent camera's mounting bracket and dome attachment mechanism. The hydrophilic coating requires no special maintenance or activation — it functions immediately upon installation. Operating temperature range is -40°C to 50°C (-40°F to 122°F), supporting deployments in arctic and desert environments. IP66 rating means the cover itself withstands direct water jets and dust ingress; however, the seal between the cover and camera body is only as good as the underlying camera's installation — ensure your mounting hardware is weatherproofed per the camera manufacturer's guidance.
