The AXIS TQ1802 Weathershield is the ultimate exterior shield designed to protect and optimize outdoor surveillance setups. Engineered as an extra-long, robust cover, it safeguards cameras from rain, snow, and sun while maintaining peak image clarity. This shield’s thoughtful design, featuring a black top and a bottom with a black anti-glare coating to prevent reflections from built-in IR LEDs, ensures that nighttime captures remain sharp and undistorted. Specifically included with the AXIS Q1700-LE License Plate Capture, the TQ1802 integrates seamlessly into AXIS systems, delivering reliability, durability, and improved performance in challenging weather conditions. Whether deployed along busy city streets or remote perimeters, this weathershield preserves lens integrity, reduces maintenance needs, and extends the life of your camera investments by providing a robust weather barrier and glare management at the source.

  • Extended, robust weather protection for outdoor deployments: The AXIS TQ1802 Weathershield is designed to cover more than standard housings, creating an elongated shield that minimizes rain intrusion, snow buildup, and sun exposure on critical optical components. This form factor helps to shield sensitive sensors and lenses from the elements, which translates into more consistent image quality across varying weather conditions. By maintaining a cleaner, drier front-facing surface, the shield reduces the risk of lens fogging and water streaks that can obscure license plates, faces, or license-plate capture targets. For operators, that means fewer service calls, lower maintenance costs, and improved uptime in rain-heavy or snow-prone environments.
  • Anti-glare bottom coating to reduce IR LED reflections: A distinctive feature of the TQ1802 is its black anti-glare coating on the bottom surface. This coating minimizes reflections from the camera’s built-in IR LEDs, particularly in low-light or nighttime scenes where glare can wash out fine details. The result is crisper, more legible infrared captures—an essential benefit for license plate recognition and other illuminated-object scenarios. By controlling reflections at the shield interface, the system delivers higher contrast images, improves license plate legibility, and helps the AXIS Q1700-LE solution achieve higher accuracy in challenging lighting.
  • Seamless compatibility with AXIS Q1700-LE License Plate Capture: The TQ1802 is purposefully included with the AXIS Q1700-LE License Plate Capture kit, ensuring a smooth and risk-free integration. The shield is designed to fit the camera and mounting arrangements used in AXIS’ license plate solutions, reducing the need for adapters or custom fittings. This compatibility simplifies installation, minimizes compatibility concerns, and guarantees that the shield does not interfere with the camera’s field of view, focusing on protecting the optics and preserving image quality where it matters most—on the plate, vehicles, and other small but critical details in the scene.
  • Durable, weather-resistant construction for long-term reliability: Made to withstand outdoor mounting in a variety of climates, the TQ1802 Weathershield emphasizes rugged construction and materials chosen for outdoor durability. The shield’s design helps resist UV exposure, temperature fluctuations, and exposure to wind-driven debris, providing dependable performance year-round. This resilience translates into lower maintenance cycles and fewer replacements, which is particularly valuable for surveillance installations in remote, high-frequency duty environments or sites where regular servicing is difficult. With its sturdy profile and protective envelope, the shield acts as a passive guardian for the camera system, guarding against the elements while allowing the camera to perform at its best.
  • Low-profile aesthetics with practical installation advantages: While delivering robust protection, the TQ1802 maintains a sleek, unobtrusive silhouette that does not draw attention or add unnecessary bulk. The black color scheme complements a wide range of camera housings and architectural contexts, ensuring the shield blends into its surroundings while still offering maximum protection. The design also emphasizes straightforward installation: alignment with existing mounting patterns, simple securing points, and compatibility with the Q1700-LE setup. This balance of form and function helps technicians deploy, test, and commission the system quickly, with fewer complexities and less downtime.

how to install AXIS TQ1802 Weathershield

Installing the AXIS TQ1802 Weathershield is designed to be straightforward for technicians already handling AXIS camera deployments. Start by verifying that your camera is powered down before opening any housings or mounting surfaces. Align the shield with the camera’s mounting plane, ensuring that the top portion aligns with the camera body and that the mounting holes correspond to the existing hardware. Once alignment is confirmed, secure the shield using the appropriate fasteners provided in the kit or recommended by AXIS for outdoor accessories. Tighten screws to a snug fit without overtorquing, which could strip threading or damage seals.

After mechanical attachment, inspect the seal between the weathershield and the camera housing to ensure there is uniform contact and no gaps that could permit water ingress. If the shield provides gasket interfaces, verify their placement and integrity. Reconnect power and test the camera’s operation, verifying that the field of view remains unobstructed and that the shield’s anti-glare coating is positioned to minimize IR reflection during nighttime operation. Take a quick test run during low-light conditions to assess whether the infrared illumination now remains unobstructed by glare or artifacts around the shield’s lower surface. Finally, perform routine maintenance checks to ensure the shield remains secure and free of dirt, snow accumulation, or debris that could compromise performance over time.

Tip for optimal performance: periodically inspect the bottom anti-glare coating to ensure it remains intact and free of scratches or residues. Clean with a soft, lint-free cloth as recommended by AXIS to preserve glare-reduction properties. For long-term outdoor deployments, document installation specifics (location, date, and camera model) to support future maintenance cycles and potential upgrades within the AXIS ecosystem.

Frequently asked questions

  • What camera models is the AXIS TQ1802 Weathershield compatible with? The TQ1802 is designed for use with AXIS Q1700-LE License Plate Capture systems, aligning with the kit’s integration requirements to preserve image integrity and performance in outdoor environments.
  • How does the anti-glare bottom coating improve nighttime imaging? The anti-glare coating on the shield’s bottom minimizes reflections from the camera’s IR LEDs, which can otherwise cause flare or haze in the captured image. By reducing these reflections, nighttime captures become crisper, with better contrast and improved target visibility, particularly for license plates and other reflective details.
  • Will the shield affect the camera’s field of view? When properly installed, the TQ1802 is designed to sit outside the camera’s primary optical path and does not occlude critical areas of the scene. The elongated form factor provides protection without intruding on the camera’s field of view, ensuring that the intended surveillance zone remains fully visible.
  • Is the shield suitable for extreme weather conditions? Yes. The shield is described as extra-long and robust to provide durable protection against rain, snow, sun, and other environmental stressors. This makes it appropriate for outdoor installations in diverse climates, reducing maintenance needs and preserving image quality across seasons.
  • Is installation supported by AXIS or required accessories? The TQ1802 is included in the AXIS Q1700-LE License Plate Capture kit, which means installation guidance and compatibility are aligned with AXIS’ recommended practices for this setup. For custom installations, refer to AXIS’ documentation for mounting patterns and sealant recommendations to ensure optimal performance.

Great entertainment, charges quickly!
Color: Orange
Super fun entertainment for dog! Toy ball charges quickly and the charge lasts for at least an hour of playtime for the dog. There are 2 modes. one mode Just lights up, which makes it easy for pet to chase it. The second mode not only lights up, but it also wiggles on the ground Randomly and speeds off in a direction on its own, which really makes it interesting for your dog or cat to follow! Once the ball is not touched for about thirty seconds, it goes dormant and it will stay like that As long as it's charged until somebody touches it, and then it starts up randomly lighting up and moving around the floor on its own And making a vibration noise. It's a lot of fun to watch the dog chase and play with, and it certainly keeps them entertained for a while! The laughs and fun entertainment are definitely worth it. The only downside is that my dog chewed off the soft fabric covering in about twenty minutes.And she's not a real big chewer. It looks better with the covering on it, but even without it, the ball works fine and she plays with it every day.So that is not a showstopper. But good to supervise your dog for safety.In case they are a chewer, and they decide to destroy the cover. But the ball works fine without the cover too!

Looooves her crazy new ball
Color: Orange, Color: Orange
Our 90lb mastiff/boxer mix Indie is very playful, curious and energetic. She needs toys that engage her and keep her busy. This ball does the job! We’ve had it for less than a week. Here’s what I love and what could be better: PROS: • She dog loves it. She whines for it. She gets absurdly excited when I get it out. She’s a bit of an anxious dog, but had zero problems with it inexplicably coming to life. • It lasts a while on a single charge, so it keeps her busy for a good long time. The longest we’ve used it at a stretch is an hour. • It’s pretty durable. She’s a super chewer (destroyed every “non-destructible” toy we’ve purchased for her), but the actual ball is hard plastic. She gnaws on it and it gets scratches, for sure. But she’s not going to chew it to pieces. • On carpet, it’s reasonably quiet. • It comes with a replaceable silicone button. • It’s easy to charge…just pull off the silicone button and the charging port is inside. • The silicone button is flush with the ball’s hard plastic surface, so there’s no way for her to pull the silicone button out and swallow it or get to the charging port. CONS: • Cover is worthless if your dog is a chewer. It goes on like an envelope with a Velcro closure. We took it off immediately. • Without the cover, it’s very noisy on hardwood floors. To us, it’s worth it. (Though, I work from home, so I might feel differently after the holiday vacation.) • She’s an XL dog, so she can fit the whole ball in her mouth easily and accidentally chomp down on the button and turn the ball off. Not a big deal, just something to know if you’ve got a Lab or larger dog. • With extended playtime, the two halves can come unscrewed, especially with a large dog who uses their paws/jaws on it a lot. Thankfully, it makes a loud buzzing noise when this happens, so we know we need to take it from her and screw it back together. Is this a potential danger? With the rechargeable battery inside, I’d say yes. But we also don’t let her play with this toy without supervision. So keep that in mind. Bottom line: It has its drawbacks, but it keeps her entertained and seems like it should last her at least 6 months with supervised play. Which is honestly REALLY good when we’re talking about Indie, Destroyer of Toys. I’d buy it again.

Difficult/impossible to unscrew plastic cups (in order to recharge the vibrating/blinking device)
Color: Orange
Generally, I don't leave feedback on items purchased. However, in this case, I feel compelled to do so in hopes the mechanical engineers (of this product) will take my input to heart and ultimately modify it. First the pros... - I have 2 high-energy dogs (Jack Russell Terriers) who love their toys (e.g., chewing bones, tug-of-war, etc.) but usually get bored with them rather quickly. - This interactive PetDroid ball, however, keeps them busy for a long time. - In fact, my smaller dog (Max) knows its storage location and sits (as early as 6 AM) in front of the cabinet so that I give him "his ball". It keeps him busy for up to 1-2 hours at a time. - Max is literally addicted to the PetDroid ball... his determinant play with it makes me laugh all the time. Now, the cons... - After several days of play, the exterior looks chewed up quite a bit. That's no problem though. - Unfortunately, the interior "threads/grooves" of the two plastic cups (for closing/fasting) are very tiny. - Thus, after an hour-long hard play, it is almost impossible to unscrew the 2 plastic cups in order to recharge the interior device. - It appears the 2 cups somehow come off track and get realigned from the inside. - At that point, I cannot unscrew the PetDroid ball in order to recharge the device.... and without the blinking/vibration, this toy is no longer fun for play. - Ultimately, I had to place the bottom half of the ball into a vise and then use a plumbing wrench to untwist it. Proposed Solution: - Increase the size of the plastic cups' interior threads/grooves so that they won't get realigned/come off track. - This would mitigate the current dilemma of NOT being able to unscrew the ball in order to recharge it. In my view, this should be a relatively simple fix and significantly improve the durability of this product. Thank you for your time.

Good fun and entertaining!
Color: Orange
A really fun interactive toy for your dog! It's pretty erratic and really gets him chasing it. The included soft cover was kinda hard to install and then it's hard to turn it off and on with the cover on, I feel like the cover didn't really improve it at all, sure it's louder without the cover but I feel like dog also likes it that way, he likes loud squeaky toys and this thing making a bunch of noise is appealing to him. We have mostly hardwood floors so it really gets moving, I'm sure on carpet it would be a bit quieter and maybe even a bit slower to move around but on hard smooth surfaces this things can really get zipping around abd get some speed to make him chase it. Overall a fun and entertaining toy.
