Dahua IPC-HDW1239V-PV is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 5,800, brand new and sealed. It is a 2MP Full HD eyeball network camera with a wide 2.8mm lens, 30 metres of infrared and warm-light night vision, and active deterrence. That means the Dahua IPC-HDW1239V-PV can flash its light and play a spoken warning when it detects a person in a zone you set. A built-in microphone and speaker let you hold a two-way conversation through it, and PoE carries power and video on one cable. Collect yours at the Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Designed for families, landlords, clinic managers and small office owners, the Dahua IPC-HDW1239V-PV handles doorways, verandas, reception areas and parking bays. Many buyers want a camera that does more than film a theft for later. The Dahua IPC-HDW1239V-PV answers someone at the door before they ring, and it challenges a stranger walking a compound at midnight. Its round eyeball shape sits flat on a ceiling or soffit, which suits apartments in Kilimani and townhouses in Kitengela where a long bullet would look out of place. The IP67 shell takes rain and dust on an open porch.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell unbranded cameras with no paper trail, Mascom International supplies genuine Dahua stock with a 12-month local warranty. At Mascom International, we're seeing buyers pick the Dahua IPC-HDW1239V-PV for the front door and a bullet for the gate, building one system that both watches and talks. It works with any Dahua PoE NVR and the free DMSS app, so you can check the house from the office on a lunch break. Walk in to test the voice alarm, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the Dahua IPC-HDW1239V-PV
What is the Dahua IPC-HDW1239V-PV price in Kenya?
The Dahua IPC-HDW1239V-PV sells for KSh 5,800 brand new and sealed at Mascom International on Kimathi Street, Nairobi. You get the camera with a 12-month warranty handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk. Most installs draw power from a PoE recorder or switch, so no power adapter is included. Pay-on-arrival delivery reaches all 47 counties. The Dahua IPC-HDW1239V-A-IL Entry eyeball without the speaker and alarm costs KSh 5,000, putting the deterrence features at KSh 800 extra.
Should I choose the Dahua IPC-HDW1239V-PV eyeball or the Dahua IPC-HFW1239TL1P-PV bullet?
Both cost KSh 5,800 at Mascom International and share the same 2MP sensor, 30-metre night vision, voice alarm and two-way talk. The difference is shape and lens. The Dahua IPC-HDW1239V-PV eyeball mounts flat on ceilings and soffits, and its 2.8mm lens covers a wider area at closer range. The bullet carries a 3.6mm lens that reaches further down a driveway or along a wall. Choose the eyeball for porches, doorways and rooms. Choose the bullet for gates, perimeter walls and long yards.
Can I watch the Dahua IPC-HDW1239V-PV from my phone on Safaricom or Airtel?
Yes, the Dahua IPC-HDW1239V-PV streams live video and alerts to the DMSS app over any internet line, including Safaricom and Airtel home fibre. The camera links to a Dahua NVR, which connects to your router and pushes notifications when a person is detected. You can then talk through the speaker or replay the clip. On mobile data the lighter sub stream keeps viewing smooth. A stable home connection matters more than speed, since one 2MP camera needs only a few megabits per second.
Who should buy the Dahua IPC-HDW1239V-PV, and who should skip it?
The Dahua IPC-HDW1239V-PV fits homes, apartments, clinics and offices that want to see, hear and speak to anyone at the entrance. It suits close-range spots under a roof line where a wide view matters more than distance. Skip it for long boundary walls or gates more than about 9 metres away, where faces become hard to recognise on a 2.8mm lens. For those, the Dahua IPC-HFW1239TL1P-PV bullet at the same price fits better. Buyers wanting 4MP detail can step up to the Dahua IPC-HDW1439V-PV at KSh 7,100.
How does the voice alarm on the Dahua IPC-HDW1239V-PV work?
The Dahua IPC-HDW1239V-PV plays a spoken warning and flashes its warm light when human detection spots a person crossing a line or entering a zone. You draw these zones in the DMSS app or on the NVR, so passers-by on the road outside do not trigger it. The camera holds several built-in voice clips, and you can import a custom message in English or Kiswahili. Schedule it for night hours only, so family members coming home in the evening are not greeted by a siren.
Can the Dahua IPC-HDW1239V-PV survive outdoor weather in Kenya?
The Dahua IPC-HDW1239V-PV carries an IP67 rating, so it is sealed against dust and can withstand heavy rain on an exposed wall. Dahua rates it to run from -40°C to +60°C and in humidity up to 95 percent, non-condensing. That covers the dust of Machakos, the long rains in Nairobi and the heat of Garissa. In Mombasa and Malindi, mount it under a roof edge to limit direct salt spray on the plastic cover. Use a surge protector on the PoE line where lightning strikes are common.
How many Dahua IPC-HDW1239V-PV cameras can one recorder handle?
The number of Dahua IPC-HDW1239V-PV cameras depends on the NVR's channel and PoE port count. A Dahua NVR1108HS-8P-S3/H at KSh 12,000 powers and records up to eight PoE cameras on one hard drive, which suits most homes and small shops. For bigger compounds or schools, the Dahua NVR4216-16P-4KS3 at KSh 27,000 takes sixteen PoE cameras and two drives. At full load the camera draws about 10 watts over PoE, so check the recorder's total PoE budget. Hard drives are sold separately at Mascom International.
Is the Dahua IPC-HDW1239V-PV hard to install?
The Dahua IPC-HDW1239V-PV is a straightforward install for anyone who has run a network cable before. Fix the base to the ceiling or wall, run one Cat6 cable back to a PoE recorder, and twist the eyeball into position. The ball pans a full 360 degrees and tilts up to 78 degrees, so it aims correctly on a wall or ceiling. The recorder finds the camera on the network automatically. If you would rather not climb a ladder, ask Mascom International to recommend an installer near you.
Technical Specifications
Sensor and Image
- 1/2.8-inch CMOS sensor — the same image chip size as Dahua's Entry range, tuned for clear 1080p in low light.
- 2MP at 1920 × 1080 — Full HD footage that shows faces, clothing and parcels clearly at a doorway.
- Up to 25/30 frames per second on the main stream — natural motion with no jerky gaps between frames.
- Colour down to 0.005 lux at F1.6 — keeps picture colour in dim light before the illuminators switch on.
- DWDR, BLC and HLC — evens out bright doorways, backlight and headlights so the subject stays readable.
Lens and Field of View
- 2.8mm fixed-focal lens on an M12 mount — set at the factory, with no zoom to adjust or knock out of place.
- F1.6 aperture — admits more light for brighter footage in shaded porches and at night.
- About 103 degrees horizontal and 123 degrees diagonal — a wide view that covers a full veranda or reception area.
- Detects a person at about 44 metres — Dahua's DORI figure for noticing movement across a compound.
- Recognises a person at about 9 metres and identifies at about 4 metres — place it close to doors and gates.
Night Vision and Illumination
- Infrared up to 30 metres — black-and-white night video across a typical compound with no visible light.
- Warm light up to 30 metres — full-colour night footage when a person is detected in the scene.
- Dual-light switching — infrared runs by default and warm light comes on only while a person is in view.
- Adaptive illumination — balances light strength so a face close to the lens is not overexposed.
- Auto or manual light control — set the illuminators to run on a schedule or follow the camera's detection.
Video Compression and Smart Detection
- H.265 and H.264 compression — smaller video files, so a surveillance drive keeps more weeks of footage.
- H.265+ — Dahua's extra compression for still scenes, saving storage during quiet nights.
- Human detection with SMD alarms — filters out animals, leaves and passing shadows so alerts mean a person.
- Voice and light alarm — plays a built-in or custom warning and flashes when a person enters a set zone.
- Built-in microphone and speaker — two-way talk, audio recording and audio detection through the app or NVR.
Connectivity and Power
- RJ45 10/100 Ethernet port — a wired link that holds steady through walls and floors.
- PoE to IEEE 802.3af, up to about 10 watts — one cable for power and video from any PoE NVR or switch.
- 12V DC input, up to about 8.5 watts — an alternative where PoE is not available at the site.
- ONVIF Profile S and T — works with other brands' recorders that follow the ONVIF standard.
- DMSS app and up to 6 users at once — the whole family or office team can view the same camera.
Build and Installation
- Full ordering code DH-IPC-HDW1239V-PV — check this code on the box when you collect the camera.
- IP67 rating — dust-tight and protected against heavy rain and brief submersion.
- Plastic cover over a metal and plastic inner core — light, rust-free and suited to humid coastal air.
- About 101 mm tall and 110 mm across, 0.32 kg net — small enough to sit discreetly on a soffit or ceiling.
- White finish as standard — confirm the colour in stock with our team on WhatsApp before ordering.
