Hi Phil,
As Bill commented, perspex domes can be of varying quality and transparency. Glass can be better, although you need to consider ventilation and a heater to combat dew.
Meteor networks such as AllSky7 and FRIPON house their cameras under domes, although GMN don’t advise this because they’re concerned about calibrating the field distortions for analysis. This is of no concern if you’re monitoring meteors for your own interest.
