i-PRO PGVF2178ZAC1 Dome Cover Assembly
The PGVF2178ZAC1 is a factory dome cover assembly for compatible i-PRO / Panasonic dome cameras. The assembly includes the optical dome and any factory-installed gasket and trim hardware needed to restore the camera's IP rating, IK impact rating, and image quality after damage or wear. Using the OEM assembly keeps the camera within published spec.

The dome assembly is more than just the clear bubble — it includes the gasket, trim ring, and any captive hardware that ships with a new camera. Replacing the entire assembly (rather than just the bubble) restores all the elements that maintain the camera's specifications. This is the right approach when the original gasket has compressed, the trim ring is damaged, or the bubble has been in service for many years and other components have aged along with it.
Plan the service window to include a fresh desiccant pack. Inspect the camera body for any signs of moisture ingress; if water has been inside, run the camera in a controlled environment for 24 hours with the cover off to dry out before re-sealing. Re-torque the tamper screws to the i-PRO service value in a cross pattern. After re-assembly verify the image is clear and that focus has not shifted; re-adjust back-focus only if needed.
