Description
Protect your AXIS surveillance investment with the AXIS Weather Protection Hood. Engineered as a purpose-built accessory for outdoor AXIS camera systems, this black weather hood shields critical optics from rain, snow, wind-driven dust, and harsh sunlight while preserving peak image quality. Its low-profile, discreet design blends seamlessly with any installation—whether mounted on a building facade, a pole, or inside a protective enclosure—so you get dependable, all-terrain coverage without compromising aesthetics. Built for durability and ease of use, the hood enhances camera resilience, reduces maintenance needs, and helps you maintain clear, continuous surveillance in diverse climates and seasons.
- Weatherproof protection for reliable imaging: The hood acts as a shield for lenses and housings against rain droplets, snow, wind-driven dust, and sun glare. By safeguarding critical optical components, it helps maintain consistent performance even in challenging weather, minimizing image degradation and reducing the need for manual intervention.
- Discreet, low-profile design: Finished in black with a slim silhouette, the hood minimizes visual intrusion and limits stray reflections from the sun. This design choice preserves the installation’s aesthetics while reducing 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, enabling technicians to install or retrofit without specialized tools or extensive reconfiguration.
- Durable outdoor construction: Made 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 on costly camera components. This protection translates into fewer service calls, improved uptime, and a lower total cost of ownership for outdoor surveillance deployments.

How to install AXIS Weather Protection Hood
Power down the camera and disconnect power sources before handling any mounting components to ensure safety and prevent damage during installation.
Place the hood over the mounting area and align it with standard AXIS housing configurations to ensure a proper fit. Take care to position the hood so that it does not obstruct the lens, sensors, or any essential seals.
Secure the hood using the included mounting hardware. Use the appropriate fasteners provided with the kit and tighten them to the recommended torque for AXIS systems. Avoid over-tightening, which could crack the housing or distort seals.
Check the installation for clear optical paths and minimal lighting reflections. Confirm that the hood sits flush against the housing and that there is no interference with auto-exposure or autofocus performance.
Reconnect power and perform a quick functional test. Verify that the camera boots normally, images are clear, and there are no unexpected shadows or glare caused by the hood in typical operating conditions.
