Dahua IPC-H3AP-0360B is available at Mascom International for KSh 3,700, brand new and sealed, as a 3MP indoor Wi-Fi camera with motorized pan and tilt. Part of Dahua's Hero Series, the Dahua IPC-H3AP-0360B records at 2304 by 1296 pixels through a 3.6mm lens and turns almost a full circle, 355 degrees across and 85 degrees up and down. Infrared night vision reaches 10 metres, and a built-in microphone and speaker let you talk through it. You can see one working at our shop in the Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for parents, pet owners and small business owners across Kenya, the Dahua IPC-H3AP-0360B covers a whole room from one corner. Many Nairobi families leave a toddler at home with a house help during long matatu commutes, and they want to check in without calling every hour. The Dahua IPC-H3AP-0360B spots people and pets, follows them as they move, and sends alerts to the DMSS app on your Android or iOS phone. Shop owners in Westlands and Kilimani use it to watch the till after hours, then replay the day from a microSD card of up to 256GB.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell unbranded Wi-Fi cameras with apps that stop updating, Mascom International stocks genuine Dahua units with a 12-month warranty and a walk-in service desk. At Mascom International, we're seeing more buyers pick a pan-and-tilt camera over a fixed one, because a single Dahua IPC-H3AP-0360B can do the work of two. Customers across Nairobi tell us two-way audio is the feature they use most. It joins the 2.4GHz band of a Safaricom Home Fibre, Airtel or Zuku router. Visit us on Kimathi Street, or order on WhatsApp and pay on arrival anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the Dahua IPC-H3AP-0360B
How much is the Dahua IPC-H3AP-0360B 3MP camera in Kenya?
The Dahua IPC-H3AP-0360B costs KSh 3,700 brand new and sealed at Mascom International on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. That price includes the 12-month warranty and pay-on-arrival delivery, so you inspect the camera before you hand over cash or send M-Pesa. Its 5MP sibling, the Dahua IPC-H5AP-0360B, is currently KSh 3,600 in our stock, which is KSh 100 less, so compare both before you choose. A microSD card for recording is priced separately at Mascom International.
Should I buy the Dahua IPC-H3AP-0360B or the 5MP Dahua IPC-H5AP-0360B?
Most buyers should take the 5MP Dahua IPC-H5AP-0360B, because it records 2880 by 1620 pixels against 2304 by 1296 here and costs KSh 100 less at Mascom International. Both share the 3.6mm lens, 355-degree pan, 10-metre night vision and two-way audio. The Dahua IPC-H3AP-0360B still makes sense when your home Wi-Fi is weak or shared by many phones, since 3MP footage is lighter to stream and fills a microSD card more slowly. Pick it for a small room watched mainly on a phone screen.
Will the Dahua IPC-H3AP-0360B keep recording during a KPLC power cut?
The Dahua IPC-H3AP-0360B stops recording when power goes off, because it runs on a 5V DC supply and has no internal battery. During KPLC outages in estates like Kasarani or along Ngong Road, a small UPS powering both the camera and your router keeps it online, and Mascom International stocks units sized for this job. Footage already saved on the microSD card stays there. Once power returns, the camera starts up again and reconnects to your Safaricom, Airtel or Zuku Wi-Fi.
Does the Dahua IPC-H3AP-0360B work with 5GHz Wi-Fi?
The Dahua IPC-H3AP-0360B connects on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, so it pairs with the 2.4GHz band that home routers from Safaricom, Airtel and Zuku offer. Many dual-band routers sold in Kenya show two network names, and you choose the 2.4GHz one during setup in the DMSS app. The 2.4GHz band also travels through walls better than 5GHz, which helps in stone-built Nairobi homes. Dahua's specification sheet lists an RJ45 port too, for a wired link to your router.
Can the Dahua IPC-H3AP-0360B see in the dark?
The Dahua IPC-H3AP-0360B sees up to 10 metres in total darkness using a built-in infrared LED that switches on automatically. Night footage is black and white, which is normal for infrared cameras, and it shows movement across a living room or shop floor clearly. Ten metres covers a typical Nairobi sitting room from end to end. Avoid pointing it straight at a window at night, since the glass reflects infrared light back into the lens and washes out the picture.
Does the Dahua IPC-H3AP-0360B track people and pets automatically?
The Dahua IPC-H3AP-0360B detects people and pets and turns to follow them as they move, using its motorized 355-degree pan and 85-degree tilt. You can also save preset positions, such as the front door, the cot and the sofa, and let the camera patrol between them. Human and pet detection means fewer pointless alerts from moving curtains or passing headlights. Live view, alerts and playback all come through the free DMSS app on Android and iOS phones.
Who should buy the Dahua IPC-H3AP-0360B and who should skip it?
The Dahua IPC-H3AP-0360B suits renters, parents and small shop owners who want one indoor camera they can set up themselves without running network cables through walls. Skip it if you need to watch a gate, a parking bay or a veranda exposed to rain and dust, because it is an indoor camera not built for outdoor weather. For those spots, an outdoor Dahua camera or a wired CCTV kit is the better fit. Buyers who want sharper footage for less money should take the Dahua IPC-H5AP-0360B.
Is the Dahua IPC-H3AP-0360B worth it for a small shop or office in Nairobi?
The Dahua IPC-H3AP-0360B is worth it for a small shop at KSh 3,700, because one pan-and-tilt unit can cover the counter, the entrance and the stock shelf from a single corner. Two-way audio lets you speak to staff or a customer from your phone while you are away. Recordings save to a microSD card of up to 256GB inside the camera, so nothing depends on a monthly cloud fee. Buyers in Industrial Area and along Moi Avenue report using it to check opening times and till activity.
Technical Specifications
Sensor and Image Quality
- 3MP 1/3.2-inch CMOS sensor — enough detail to make out faces and objects across a typical bedroom or shop floor.
- Main stream of 2304 x 1296 pixels — sharper than 1080p, so zooming into a recording keeps more detail visible.
- Sub stream of 640 x 360 pixels — a lighter feed the app can use when your mobile data or Wi-Fi is slow.
- Infrared night vision up to 10 metres from one built-in IR LED — clear sight in a fully dark room.
- Automatic illuminator control — the infrared light switches on at dusk and off at dawn, with no settings to change.
Lens and Pan-Tilt Movement
- 3.6mm fixed lens — a set focal length that suits rooms, with no zoom ring or focus to adjust by hand.
- F2.0 aperture — a wide opening that lets in more light, so indoor footage stays usable in dim rooms.
- Field of view of 73 degrees horizontal, 41 vertical and 88 diagonal — the area visible in any single position.
- Motorized pan from 0 to 355 degrees — the camera turns almost a full circle when you swipe in the app.
- Motorized tilt from -5 to 80 degrees — looks down at a cot or up towards a high shelf or doorway.
Video and Detection Features
- Human detection — the camera recognises a person in the frame, so alerts focus on people rather than shadows.
- Pet detection — tells cats and dogs apart from people, useful for owners who leave animals at home all day.
- Auto tracking — the motor follows a moving person or pet so they stay inside the frame as they walk.
- Preset patrol — save several viewing positions and let the camera cycle through them on its own schedule.
- Built-in microphone and speaker with two-way audio — listen to the room and speak back through your phone.
Storage and Power
- microSD card slot for cards up to 256GB — recordings stay inside the camera, with no monthly storage fee.
- 5V DC power input — a low-voltage supply that a small UPS can carry through a power cut.
- No PoE support — power comes from a separate 5V supply, not through a network cable from the router.
- Size of 7.78 x 10.81 x 7.78 cm — small enough for a bookshelf, a TV stand or the top of a cabinet.
- Weight of 0.19kg — light enough to move from room to room as your needs change over time.
Connectivity and App Control
- 2.4GHz Wi-Fi — joins the router band that carries farther through walls than 5GHz in most homes.
- RJ45 Ethernet port — plug a network cable straight into your router where the Wi-Fi signal is weak.
- DMSS app for Android and iOS — live view, playback, alerts and pan-tilt control from one free app.
- Remote viewing over the internet — check the room from the office or while travelling, on mobile data or Wi-Fi.
- Phone-based setup — Wi-Fi, detection and recording are configured from the app, with no computer needed.
