don't buy this model, this sensor (comparing to 5442 or 7442) is very bad...
check this and the following posts

Here is image from 71242 (12 mpx in 1/1.7" sensor in 7xxx-x WizMind-X)..
it cost 3x more that 5442.. Image is even much worse that 58IR...
PS. Dahua should do 58IR using 1/1.2" sensor... like axis did (4mpx is 1/1.8", 8mpx is 1/1.2" or 4/3" in latest Q36 dome / Q18 bullet series)...
it's the only way to migrate from 4 mpx to 8 mpx cams (increase sensor size in the same line)...

+1 above.
It is not on the ideal MP/sensor ratio and will perform poorly.
There used to be a thread here someone posted and we are encouraged them not to purchase, but they chased MP and purchased anyway and then resulted in a too dark image at night. Sadly the thread is now gone, so I can't point you to it to read all the reasons why you shouldn't chase MP.
Here was one thread about the camera
Basically you want a camera that is in the green below:
