AXIS Weather Protection Hood

Meet AXIS Weather Protection Hood, a purpose-built accessory for outdoor AXIS surveillance systems that safeguards camera integrity while preserving peak image quality. This black weather hood delivers robust defense against rain, snow, wind, dust, and sun glare, ensuring reliable performance across diverse climates and seasons. Its streamlined, low-profile design blends seamlessly with any installation—whether mounted on a building facade, a pole, or inside a protective enclosure. Built for durability and ease of use, the hood elevates the resilience of AXIS cameras, helping you maintain clear, continuous surveillance with minimal maintenance.

• Weather-ready protection: The hood acts as a shield against rain, snow, wind-driven dust, and harsh sunlight, reducing water droplets on lenses and minimizing glare that can degrade image clarity. By shielding critical optical components, it helps maintain consistent performance even in challenging weather, so your footage stays usable for longer without manual intervention.
• Discreet, low-profile design: In black with a slim silhouette, the hood minimizes visual intrusion while limiting stray reflections from the sun. This design choice not only preserves the aesthetic of the installation but also mitigates internal reflections that can interfere with auto-exposure and autofocus, delivering cleaner, more reliable video feeds.
• Quick, secure installation: Engineered for straightforward mounting with AXIS housings and compatible cameras, the hood supports fast deployment. The mounting geometry aligns with standard AXIS configurations, allowing technicians to install or retrofit without specialized tools or extensive reconfiguration.
• Durable outdoor construction: Constructed from rugged, UV-resistant materials designed for long-term outdoor use, the hood withstands temperature fluctuations, sunlight exposure, and environmental wear. Its robust build helps maintain structural integrity and performance year after year, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
• Extended camera longevity and reliability: By protecting optics and housings from the elements, the hood helps prevent premature wear and tear on expensive camera components. This protection translates into fewer service calls, improved uptime, and a lower total cost of ownership for outdoor surveillance deployments.
