AXIS TQ6811-E Dome Clear Hydrophilic

The AXIS TQ6811-E Dome Clear Hydrophilic is a purpose-built dome accessory designed to elevate outdoor surveillance performance. Featuring a durable hydrophilic coating, this dome mitigates rain-induced blur by preventing water droplets from obscuring the camera lens during wet conditions. In addition, the coating delivers a rain-wash self-cleaning effect, helping to carry away dirt, dust, and fingerprints so critical scenes remain visible with minimal maintenance. Built to withstand the rigors of outdoor environments, the TQ6811-E dome blends optical clarity with reliable protection, enabling security operators to monitor activity with confidence in rain, drizzle, or sunshine. By reducing the need for frequent field visits and consumables, this dome contributes to lower total cost of ownership while preserving image quality across varied weather scenarios.

• Hydrophilic coating for rain performance: The durable hydrophilic finish spreads water into a thin film, reducing raindrop coverage and keeping the scene clear even in heavy downpours.
• Rain-wash self-cleaning action: Rain helps to wash away dirt, dust, and fingerprints from the dome surface, delivering near-new clarity with less manual cleaning.
• Rugged, outdoor-ready construction: Made from high-quality materials designed to resist impact, UV exposure, and environmental wear while preserving optical integrity over time.
• Seamless integration with AXIS systems: Engineered to fit AXIS enclosures that support the TQ6811-E dome configuration, ensuring a secure fit and reliable sealing in outdoor deployments.
• Consistent image quality in all weather: By minimizing water-induced blur and debris buildup, the dome helps maintain color accuracy, contrast, and scene visibility under diverse weather conditions.

How to install AXIS TQ6811-E Dome Clear Hydrophilic

To achieve the best performance from the AXIS TQ6811-E Dome Clear Hydrophilic, follow these installation guidelines. Before starting, power down the enclosure and disconnect power to prevent any electrical issues. If replacing an existing dome, carefully remove it without disturbing seals or mounting hardware. Clean the mounting interfaces with a lint-free cloth to remove dust or residue that could affect the seal. Handle the dome by the edges to avoid touching the coated surface. Align the dome with the enclosure bezel, ensuring that any alignment marks or grooves seat properly. Secure the dome using the standard fasteners supplied with your AXIS enclosure, applying even pressure to achieve a watertight seal around the perimeter. After installation, inspect the dome for gaps and verify that the lens is evenly recessed with no light leaks around the edge. Finally, power the system back on and perform a quick live-feed check to confirm that rain-washed surfaces maintain image clarity under simulated wet conditions. For best results, avoid contact with the coated surface and use manufacturer-recommended cleaning methods for hydrophilic coatings if cleaning is ever required.
