The Dahua F2C-LED 2MP Wi-Fi Bullet Camera is now available at Mascom International for KSh 5,500, in stock at our Nairobi CBD store. This wireless network camera shoots 1080p Full HD video at 25 to 30 frames per second through a 1/3-inch CMOS sensor. It carries a fixed 2.8mm lens with a 98-degree wide field of view, built-in warm-light LEDs reaching 30 metres, and an IP67 weatherproof housing. You can collect the Dahua F2C-LED from Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
The Dahua F2C-LED suits homeowners in gated estates, landlords managing rental compounds, and shop owners running dukas across Nairobi, Mombasa, and Kisumu. It connects over Wi-Fi, so you skip the cost and mess of cabling through walls. The camera solves the common problem of blind spots at gates, shopfronts, and parking areas. Human detection filters out moving trees and stray cats, sending alerts to your phone only when a person enters the frame, which cuts the false alarms that plague cheaper motion cameras.
At Mascom International, we're seeing strong demand for affordable wireless security among small business owners protecting M-Pesa shops, hardware stores, and salons. Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya, we let you pay on arrival, so you inspect the Dahua F2C-LED before any money changes hands. Buyers across Kenya tell us the warm-light full-colour night view and the simple DMSS app setup save them both installation fees and monthly monitoring costs. Visit our store to test the camera, or order for countrywide delivery today.
Common Questions About the Dahua F2C-LED Bullet Camera
How clear is the Dahua F2C-LED video quality?
The Dahua F2C-LED records 1080p Full HD at 1920 x 1080 resolution, sharp enough to read a number plate or recognise a face at close range. Its 1/3-inch CMOS sensor captures detail in low light down to 0.008 lux. The camera holds 25 to 30 frames per second on the main stream, so movement stays smooth rather than choppy. A second 640 x 480 sub-stream lets you view live footage on mobile data without burning through your Safaricom or Airtel bundle.
Does the Dahua F2C-LED work at night?
Yes. The Dahua F2C-LED uses built-in warm-light LEDs that reach up to 30 metres, producing full-colour footage at night instead of the usual black-and-white infrared image. This means you see the actual colour of a vehicle, clothing, or bag in the dark, which matters when identifying an intruder. The warm light switches on automatically when the scene darkens. For a typical compound gate or shopfront in Nairobi, 30 metres covers the whole approach area comfortably.
How does the Dahua F2C-LED connect without cables?
The Dahua F2C-LED links to your home or shop Wi-Fi router directly, removing the need to run network cable through walls. You only supply 12V DC power to the camera using the adapter. Setup runs through the free Dahua DMSS app on Android or iPhone, scanning a QR code to pair the camera in minutes. Once connected, you watch live video and recordings from anywhere with internet, whether you are in Westlands, upcountry in Nakuru, or travelling abroad.
What does human detection on the Dahua F2C-LED actually do?
Human detection on the Dahua F2C-LED separates people from other moving objects in the frame, then triggers an alert only for human targets. This filtering reduces the constant false notifications caused by branches, rain, dogs, or passing cars that frustrate owners of basic motion cameras. When the camera spots a person, it pushes an instant alert to your phone through the DMSS app. For a shop owner watching a storeroom or a homeowner monitoring a gate, this means fewer useless pings and faster response to real activity.
Where can you record footage from the Dahua F2C-LED?
The Dahua F2C-LED records to a microSD card slotted into the camera, supporting cards up to 256GB. A 256GB card stores several days of continuous 1080p footage, or weeks if you record only on motion events. The card is bought separately and fits inside the camera body. This local storage means your footage stays on-site without monthly cloud fees, though the camera also supports cloud and network video recorder setups if you later expand your system.
Is the Dahua F2C-LED suitable for outdoor use in Kenya?
Yes. The Dahua F2C-LED carries an IP67 rating, meaning the housing is fully dust-tight and withstands heavy rain. This holds up well against the short rains in Nairobi, the humidity along the Mombasa coast, and dust kicked up on Thika Road. You can mount it under an eave, on a perimeter wall, or at a gate without a separate weatherproof box. The metal-and-plastic body resists the harsh sun and temperature swings common across Kenyan towns.
Does the Dahua F2C-LED record sound?
The Dahua F2C-LED includes a built-in microphone that captures audio alongside the video, so your recordings carry sound from the monitored area. This helps you hear conversations near a counter or commotion at a gate, adding context that video alone misses. Audio detection can also trigger alerts when sudden noise occurs.
Is the Dahua F2C-LED worth KSh 5,500 in Kenya's market?
At KSh 5,500, the Dahua F2C-LED gives you 1080p full-colour night recording, human detection, IP67 weatherproofing, and Wi-Fi in a single unit, which beats most no-name cameras at the same price. There are no monthly fees since footage stays on a microSD card. For a small shop or home, one camera covers a gate or entrance for less than the cost of a single month of a manned guard. Mascom International backs it with warranty and pay-on-arrival delivery.
How do you view the Dahua F2C-LED on your phone?
You view the Dahua F2C-LED through the free DMSS app from Dahua, available on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. After powering the camera and connecting it to Wi-Fi, you scan the camera QR code in the app to add it. The app shows live video, plays back recordings, and sends human-detection alerts. You can share access with family or staff, so several people watch the same shop or compound from their own phones.

- Outputs up to 30 frames per second on the main stream, keeping moving subjects smooth without stutter or blur
- Minimum illumination of 0.008 lux lets the camera capture usable detail in very dark gate and yard areas
- DWDR balances bright and dark zones in one frame, useful for shopfronts facing strong Nairobi daylight
- 3D noise reduction cleans up grain in low light, producing steadier footage for storerooms and corridors
- HLC and BLC handle headlight glare and backlighting at gates, so faces near bright sources stay visible
Lens and Field of View
