I have liked this about Avigilon. Captive screws...and gaskets that are held firmly in place. At least Dahua has improved on this from where they were at, but I don't worry about the Avigilon gasket falling out of place if my finger accidentally slides over it. You only need a dome filling up with water once to learn that lesson. The camera continued to work, however, but wasn't very usable.
I would say this is more common when so many mount a dome directly on the wall without an arm bracket. I have only mounted domes flat on a wall less than 5 times outdoors and I ended up replacing the bubble domes and adding arm brackets. This helped a lot. However, there are different levels of quality in the bubble dome.

The whole issue on water intrusion is a big issue. This is why I am such a fan on Panasonic cameras. With the built in dehumidifiers and the properly sealed domes makes for a dry enclosure and long camera life. I have four PTZ Panasonic Cameras model number WV-NW964, that have now been installed on the Pier at Pier Park here in Panama City Baech FL for 7 years now. No water intrusion and no corrosion on the connectors nor the housing of the camera. That's what proper sealing and installation will do.
