Dahua ART-ARC3000H-03-W2 is available at Mascom International for KSh 16,500, an AirShield wireless alarm kit that comes brand new and sealed. The full model number is DHI-ART-ARC3000H-03-W2. According to Dahua, the kit is built around a hub, a keyfob, a door detector and a PIR motion detector. The hub links to your router by Ethernet or 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and talks to each device on the 433MHz band, with a stated open-space range of up to 1,200m. Come and see the Dahua ART-ARC3000H-03-W2 working at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Designed for homeowners, landlords, shop owners and small office managers, the Dahua ART-ARC3000H-03-W2 handles the basic job of an alarm: telling you when a door opens or someone moves where they should not. Many Kenyan homes rely on a watchman and a padlock, and burglaries still happen in the gap between rounds. Wired alarms solve that, but drilling and trunking through finished walls in a Kilimani flat or Westlands office is slow and messy. The Dahua ART-ARC3000H-03-W2 removes the wiring, since every detector runs on its own battery and connects by radio. Setup takes screws or tape, not a building crew.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that sell unnamed alarm kits with no app support, Mascom International stocks a Dahua system with AES128 encryption, tamper alerts and cloud firmware updates. The Dahua ART-ARC3000H-03-W2 also grows with your property, because the hub accepts up to 150 wireless peripherals, including up to 6 sirens and 64 keyfobs. At Mascom International, we're seeing landlords and small traders choose it as a first alarm before adding cameras.

Common Questions About the Dahua ART-ARC3000H-03-W2
How much is the Dahua ART-ARC3000H-03-W2 alarm kit in Kenya?
The Dahua ART-ARC3000H-03-W2 costs KSh 16,500 at Mascom International on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, brand new and sealed. That price covers the kit, a 12-month warranty and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. You can pay by M-Pesa, Lipa na M-Pesa or cash when it arrives. Extra detectors, keyfobs and sirens from the AirShield range are bought separately, so you can start with the kit and add devices room by room later.
What does the Dahua ART-ARC3000H-03-W2 kit include?
Dahua lists four device types for the Dahua ART-ARC3000H-03-W2: the hub, a keyfob, a door detector and a PIR motion detector. The hub is the brain that raises the alarm and connects to your network. The keyfob arms and disarms the system with Home, Away, Disarm and SOS buttons. The door detector uses a magnetic reed switch to sense a door or window opening. The PIR detector senses body heat moving across a room. Confirm the quantity of each on WhatsApp before you order.
Should I choose the Dahua ART-ARC3000H-03-W2 or a wired alarm system?
Choose the Dahua ART-ARC3000H-03-W2 when walls are already finished, you rent the space, or you want the system running the same day. Choose a wired alarm for a new build where cables can go in before plastering, or where you never want to change detector batteries. Wireless detectors move easily if you shift house or rearrange a shop. Wired systems avoid radio interference and battery changes but cost more in labour. For most flats, homes and small shops, wireless is the practical choice.
Will the Dahua ART-ARC3000H-03-W2 keep working during a KPLC power cut?
Yes, the Dahua ART-ARC3000H-03-W2 hub has a built-in lithium battery that Dahua rates for 12 hours of standby during a power cut. The detectors and keyfob already run on their own batteries, so they carry on as normal. Your phone alerts depend on the internet, though, so keep your router on a small UPS if you want notifications during long outages. The hub also keeps its settings through a power failure, so you will not need to set it up again.
Does the Dahua ART-ARC3000H-03-W2 work with Safaricom Home Fibre or Airtel internet?
The Dahua ART-ARC3000H-03-W2 works with any home or office internet that gives you a router, including Safaricom Home Fibre, Airtel 5G home internet, Zuku and Faiba. Connect the hub by Ethernet cable for the steadiest link, or join it to your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. Many dual-band routers broadcast both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, so pick the 2.4GHz name during setup. If the internet drops, the hub stores up to 50 events and sends them once the connection returns.
How do I control the Dahua ART-ARC3000H-03-W2 from my phone?
You arm, disarm and check the Dahua ART-ARC3000H-03-W2 through Dahua's mobile app, which receives an alert when a detector trips. The app also lets you share access with other users, so a spouse, a caretaker or a shop manager in Eldoret can respond too. If you already run Dahua cameras, the app supports video linkage, letting you view footage tied to an alarm event. Firmware updates arrive through the cloud, so the hub stays current without a technician visit.
How long do the batteries last in the Dahua ART-ARC3000H-03-W2 detectors?
Dahua rates the Dahua ART-ARC3000H-03-W2 keyfob and door detector at up to 5 years, and the PIR motion detector at up to 4 years. The keyfob takes a CR2032 coin cell, while the door and PIR detectors each use a CR123A lithium cell. Both battery types are sold in Nairobi electronics and camera shops. You will not need to guess when to swap them, because every device sends a low-battery alert to the hub before it runs flat.
Who should buy the Dahua ART-ARC3000H-03-W2 and who should skip it?
The Dahua ART-ARC3000H-03-W2 suits homeowners, tenants, landlords and small businesses that want a tidy, app-controlled alarm without rewiring. It fits apartments, maisonettes, shops, clinics and small offices. Skip it if you need outdoor detectors right out of the box, since Dahua rates these devices for indoor use. Skip it too if you need a professionally monitored commercial system with a control room; a licensed security company with a monitored contract is the better fit there.

Build and Tamper Protection

- Hub rated for –10 °C to +50 °C indoors — handles warm rooms under iron roofs in Kisumu or Mombasa.
- Detectors and keyfob rated for –10 °C to +55 °C indoors — mount them inside, away from direct rain.
