Domes are generally no a good idea for outside use. The dome attracts dust and dirt. The IR sources are usually inside the dome and cause reflections when the IR comes on. The domes plastic will yellow if it gets too much UV from the sun. Turrets are a much better solution.
Here's the current crop of 4 and 8MP from Dahua. The 5442 series, 4MP, are probably among the best right now and have a very good sensor size to resolution ratio. If there's enough ambient light at night, surprisingly little by the way, they can be forced into color at night and still have a high enough shutter speed, exposure of 1/60 or higher, to prevent blur an allow good identification.
Also be aware that with a 2.8mm lens the subject will need to be within 15 feet, or less, of the to get a good identification shot.
