Outdoor Dome Camera Night Time Woes

I am not certain if we have a bad run of these cameras or what. Daytime- great picture, no issues. Night time- Used to be good, but not any more. It seems that the dome itself is allowing light reflection/refraction? It does not appear to specifically be coming from the internal IR emitters, but this model does not allow manual on/off of the IR. See example pics:
