You don't need to do anything

If you talking direct sunlight in high heat...it pretty obvious. Your board can overheat but most of all the dome itself with discolor, possible deform, and cause malformed image. Domes are not meant to be in direct sunlight over time.

Advise, get another camera. Turret, bullet, etc.

Nonsense....How is the board in a bullet any more protected...

Should have been more specific referring to that...the dome itself being more of the issue.

what can I put inside of the dome

NOTHING... Do not add foreign objects to the inside of any camera. Most HIK domes have an operating temp of upto 140 degrees.

discolor, possible deform

No... Domes can discolor over a LONG period of time and only if in the direct elements. This typically don'ts occur for many many years if at all. As for "deforming", I've never seen a brand name quality dome deform.
