The Dahua DHI-ITC413-PW4D-Z1 is built for estate management companies, parking operators, security firms, logistics yards, and factory facilities across Kenya. Gated communities in Kilimani, Lavington, Kileleshwa, and Westlands use it to log every car entering and leaving a compound. Property managers struggle with manual gate registers that slow traffic and miss details during busy mornings. This camera captures the plate, vehicle make, and colour automatically, then matches each one against an allow list, removing the guard's pen-and-book bottleneck at the boom gate.

Mascom International stocks the Dahua DHI-ITC413-PW4D-Z1 with practical setup guidance that most Nairobi electronics shops do not offer on traffic hardware. Security integrators across Kenya tell us the all-in-one bracket cuts installation time at apartment gates and warehouse entrances along Mombasa Road. The camera holds a 110,000-plate allow and block list, so a residential SACCO or business park can run access control without a separate server. Visit our Kimathi Street store to inspect the Dahua DHI-ITC413-PW4D-Z1 before you commit to it.

It reads vehicle number plates automatically and records them with a timestamped image. The camera captures and recognises plates from cars travelling up to 80 kph, then logs the registration, vehicle make, type, and colour using deep learning algorithms. It recognises plate formats from over 120 countries with accuracy above 96% outside Europe. For Kenyan estates and parking lots, this means a searchable record of every vehicle, retrievable by date or by typing a specific plate number.

Mount it between 3 metres and 8 metres from where vehicles pass. At that range the Dahua DHI-ITC413-PW4D-Z1 covers a detection width of 3 to 4 metres, which suits a single-lane boom gate or a one-car driveway entrance. The 2.7-12mm motorized lens lets your installer zoom and frame the plate exactly without moving the housing. This flexible mounting range fits most Nairobi apartment gates and warehouse entries without extra brackets.

Yes, it handles both. Four built-in LEDs combine 730nm infrared and warm light, lighting plates up to 10 metres and the wider scene up to 30 metres in darkness. The F1.4 aperture and Starlight low-light tuning capture colour images down to 0.001 lux. For high-contrast moments like headlights at a night gate or harsh midday sun on a Mombasa Road yard, 140dB wide dynamic range keeps the plate readable.

Yes, directly. The camera carries two relay outputs, two alarm inputs, and two RS-485 ports that connect to entry and exit barriers, bollards, and external controllers. When a recognised plate matches your allow list, the relay triggers the boom gate without a separate computer running. Estates and parking operators use this to automate resident or staff entry while flagging unknown vehicles for the guard to check manually.

It connects over a standard RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet port and pairs with Dahua NVRs or DSS video management software. The camera supports ONVIF Profile S, G, and T, plus CGI, ITSAPI, and P2P, so it works alongside mixed-brand recorders many Kenyan sites already own. H.265 and H.264 dual coding cuts storage and bandwidth, which matters where internet uplinks are limited or recording runs to a local microSD card up to 256GB.

It accepts power two ways: 12V DC at 2A, or PoE over the same network cable using the 802.3at standard. PoE lets you run one cable for data and power, then back it with a single UPS or PoE switch on a small inverter during outages. The camera draws under 6 watts in normal operation and under 17 watts with the speaker and warning lights active, easing the load on backup power.

Yes. The Dahua DHI-ITC413-PW4D-Z1 holds an IP67 rating against dust and water immersion, and an IK10 rating against impact, withstanding 5kg dropped from 40cm. The aluminium alloy housing operates from -30C to +65C, well within Nairobi, Mombasa, and Turkana extremes. Murram dust on estate access roads and long rains in the highlands do not reach the internals, making it dependable at exposed gate posts year-round.

It can deter and alert automatically. Built-in red and blue lights, a 2W speaker, and a microphone let the camera flash, sound a siren, or broadcast a custom voice message when a vehicle matches the block list or loiters in a defined zone. Intrusion and loitering detection trigger these responses on their own. Guards at factory yards and residential compounds use the two-way audio to challenge a driver remotely before opening the barrier.

You get verified specifications, pay-on-arrival delivery, and after-sales support from a Nairobi CBD store. Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that treat traffic cameras as catalogue items, Mascom International confirms mounting distance, power, and barrier wiring for your specific gate before you pay. Security integrators across Kenya rely on us for honest pricing and working hardware, with the option to test the camera in person at Kimathi Street.
