An environment where there is excessive other, non-target movement

Movement along the camera's optical axis (vertical)

Movement of the target in the vicinity directly below the camera

Environments where there is light shining onto the dome from a window, reflected from a road surface, from back lighting, etc.

Target becoming hidden by a utility pole or other object
