Product Overview
Model: 02401-001
Who This Is For
When camera discretion is the priority on a Q60 series PTZ installation, the AXIS TQ6810 Smoked Dome Cover provides a direct solution. Designed as a factory-matched replacement or upgrade cover for AXIS Q60 series PTZ dome cameras, the TQ6810 replaces the standard clear dome with a smoked finish that reduces camera visibility without requiring a camera swap. It is suited to installers and facility managers specifying Q60 cameras in hotels, corporate lobbies, casinos, retail environments, and public spaces where a less conspicuous camera profile is preferred. The smoked finish limits the ability of onlookers to determine the camera's pointing direction, which is a practical consideration in high-footfall environments. This is a genuine Axis Communications accessory, machined and optically tested to fit the Q60 dome housing precisely.
What This Accessory Actually Does
Smoked Finish for Discreet Coverage
The tinted dome obscures the camera's internal lens and pan position from casual observation. In hotels, retail floors, and corporate reception areas, this reduces the visual impact of the PTZ unit while retaining full operational capability of the Q60 camera behind it.
Exact-Fit Axis OEM Component
Manufactured by Axis Communications as a genuine accessory for the Q60 series, the TQ6810 is designed to the same dimensional and optical tolerances as the original dome cover. No modification or adapter is required - it is a direct swap on compatible Q60 housings.
Conceals Pan Direction
In monitored spaces where surveillance deterrence matters less than covert coverage, a smoked dome prevents subjects from identifying where the PTZ lens is pointing. This is particularly relevant in retail loss prevention and casino monitoring applications where concealment supports investigation effectiveness.
Aesthetic Consistency Across Sites
For facilities specifying a consistent smoked-dome camera appearance across multiple Q60 units, the TQ6810 provides a uniform finish. It suits specification-driven installations where all cameras in a venue or floor are required to carry the same tinted dome profile.
Who Buys This Model
- Hotel and hospitality installers: Specifying Q60 PTZ cameras in lobbies or function areas where a clear dome finish appears too industrial for the interior design brief.
- Loss prevention teams in retail: Replacing clear domes on existing Q60 units to reduce the visibility of pan direction, supporting covert floor monitoring without camera replacement.
- Casino and gaming venue security: Requiring smoked domes across multiple Q60 PTZ positions to maintain a consistent tinted-dome appearance in line with venue standards.
- Facilities managers upgrading existing Q60 installations: Sourcing a genuine OEM replacement dome after the original cover is damaged or where the site specification has changed from clear to smoked finish.
Honest Assessment
The TQ6810 does one thing: it replaces the clear dome on a compatible AXIS Q60 series PTZ camera with a smoked finish. That is its entire function, and for the right application it is exactly what an installer needs. It allows a Q60 PTZ to be retained in service while switching from a visible to a discreet profile - a cost-effective adjustment compared to specifying a different camera model. Being a genuine Axis OEM part, it avoids the optical distortion and fit issues common to third-party dome replacements. What it will not do is improve image quality, add IR capability, or provide any electronic or functional upgrade to the Q60 camera it fits. It also does not suit all Q60 variants - confirming compatibility with your specific Q60 model before ordering is essential. Available through Security Australia, the TQ6810 should be treated as a precision accessory, not a universal dome replacement.
Before You Buy
Compatibility Check: The TQ6810 is designed for the AXIS Q60 series dome housing. Before ordering, confirm your exact Q60 model number and cross-reference against the Axis accessories compatibility list. Not all Q60 variants share the same dome housing dimensions, and fitting an incorrect dome cover can affect the camera's IP rating seal and optical performance.
IR Performance Note: A smoked dome will reduce the effective range of any infrared illumination passing through it compared to a clear dome. If the Q60 installation relies on IR for low-light imaging, assess whether the tinted dome adequately passes the IR wavelength required for your scene. In fully lit indoor environments this is typically not a concern.
Quick Fit Check
- Good match if: You have a confirmed compatible AXIS Q60 series PTZ camera installed in a hotel, retail, or corporate environment and need to switch from a clear to smoked dome finish without replacing the camera.
- Good match if: Your venue specification requires a consistent smoked-dome aesthetic across multiple Q60 PTZ positions, and you need a genuine OEM dome cover that maintains the camera's original optical and weather-seal integrity.
- You may need a different model if: Your Q60 unit is not confirmed as compatible with the TQ6810 housing dimensions - check the full Axis accessories range for the correct dome cover for your specific Q60 variant.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
Real-World Scenarios
How It Compares
- Choose this if: You have a confirmed compatible AXIS Q60 series PTZ camera and need a genuine OEM smoked dome cover to reduce camera visibility or achieve a consistent tinted-dome aesthetic across multiple units.
- You may need a different model if: Your camera is not in the Q60 series - Axis produces dome covers specific to each PTZ housing family, and other Axis PTZ lines require their own matched accessories from the Axis range.
- Pairs well with: AXIS Q60 series PTZ cameras in hotel, retail, corporate, or casino ceiling installations where a discreet dome profile is part of the security specification.
Common Questions
-
Will the TQ6810 smoked dome affect image quality on my Q60 camera?
Yes, to a degree. Any tinted dome introduces a small reduction in light transmission compared to a clear dome. In well-lit indoor environments such as hotel lobbies, retail floors, and casino spaces, this difference is generally negligible. However, if the Q60 installation relies on low-light or IR performance, the smoked finish will reduce effective night-time image quality and IR throw distance compared to the clear dome cover. -
Does this dome cover fit all AXIS Q60 models?
Not necessarily. The TQ6810 is designed for the AXIS Q60 series PTZ dome housing, but Axis produces multiple Q60 variants across different generations and configurations. Dome housing dimensions can differ between models. Confirm your specific Q60 model number against Axis Communications' official accessory compatibility documentation before ordering to ensure the TQ6810 fits your unit correctly. -
Is the TQ6810 a genuine Axis part or a third-party replacement?
It is a genuine Axis Communications OEM accessory. The TQ6810 carries Axis part number 02401-001 and is manufactured to Axis' own optical and dimensional tolerances. This matters because third-party dome covers can introduce optical distortion, compromise the housing's IP ingress rating, or fit imprecisely - issues avoided with an OEM component supplied as part of the Security Australia range. -
Will the smoked dome prevent people from seeing where the PTZ is pointing?
Yes, to a practical degree. The smoked finish obscures the internal lens and pan mechanism from casual observation at normal ceiling mounting heights. It does not make the camera invisible, but it significantly reduces the ability of people in the monitored space to determine the camera's current pointing direction - which is the primary operational reason for specifying a tinted dome on a PTZ installation. -
Can I install the TQ6810 myself or does it require a technician?
Dome cover replacement on Q60 series cameras is a straightforward physical swap, but it should be carried out by someone familiar with the Q60 housing assembly. Incorrect reassembly can compromise the camera's ingress protection seal. If the camera is ceiling-mounted in a live commercial environment, safe access equipment and brief service downtime will need to be planned. For sites under an Axis or integrator maintenance agreement, a scheduled service visit is the recommended approach. -
Does this accessory change anything about how the Q60 camera operates or is configured?
No. The TQ6810 is purely a physical dome cover replacement. It has no electronic components, no firmware, and no effect on the Q60's PTZ functions, AI analytics, network settings, or power requirements. All camera capabilities, preset positions, auto-tracking behaviour, and VMS integrations remain unchanged after fitting the smoked dome.
