Dahua HAC-HDW1249X-IL-A-PRO is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 5,300, a 2MP WizColor HDCVI eyeball camera with an F1.0 lens, four multi-core lights reaching 50 metres and two built-in microphones. Each unit is brand new and sealed. The Dahua HAC-HDW1249X-IL-A-PRO records 1080p full HD at 25 frames per second, carries 130dB WDR for harsh backlight, and switches between CVI, TVI, AHD and CVBS output with a DIP switch. You can view it on a live demo screen at our First Floor store in Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Designed for schools, SACCO banking halls, clinics, hotel lobbies and estate gatehouses, the Dahua HAC-HDW1249X-IL-A-PRO handles rooms and entrances where lighting changes all day. Glass doors flood a reception with sunlight at noon, then the same space goes dark after closing. The F1.0 lens gathers enough light to keep footage in colour long after a standard camera turns grey, and the dual microphones capture speech up to 12 metres away. A SACCO branch in Nakuru or a day school in Kitengela gets a clear record of who came in, what they wore and what was said. Its IP67 seal also lets it sit on a veranda or carport exposed to dust and rain.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that stock grey-market domes with unclear origins, Mascom International sells the Dahua HAC-HDW1249X-IL-A-PRO with Dahua's published datasheet and a 12-month warranty handled in Nairobi. At Mascom International, we're seeing more business owners choose the eyeball housing for ceilings because it looks discreet and can be angled after installation. The Dahua HAC-HDW1249X-IL-A-PRO costs the same as its bullet twin, so the choice comes down to where you mount it. Visit Kimathi Street to compare both, or order on WhatsApp and pay on arrival.
Common Questions About the Dahua HAC-HDW1249X-IL-A-PRO
How much is the Dahua HAC-HDW1249X-IL-A-PRO in Kenya?
The Dahua HAC-HDW1249X-IL-A-PRO sells for KSh 5,300 brand new at Mascom International, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. That includes the camera, its fixing screws and a 12-month warranty, with pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. You still need a 12V power supply, coax cable and a DVR. The lower-tier Dahua HAC-HFW1219SLP-IL-A-PRO bullet costs KSh 3,100, which is KSh 2,200 less, but it has a slower F1.6 lens, a single microphone and shorter night range.
Should I choose the Dahua HAC-HDW1249X-IL-A-PRO eyeball or the Dahua HAC-HFW1249X-IL-A-PRO bullet?
Both cameras share the same KSh 5,300 price, F1.0 lens, 50-metre lights, 130dB WDR and dual microphones, so housing and mounting decide. The Dahua HAC-HDW1249X-IL-A-PRO is a compact dome you can pan through 360 degrees and tilt up to 78 degrees, which suits ceilings, lobbies and covered verandas. The bullet is longer, points visibly at its target and suits exposed walls and poles. Choose the eyeball for indoor and under-roof spots; choose the bullet for outdoor perimeters.
How does the Dahua HAC-HDW1249X-IL-A-PRO cope with dust, heat and rain in Kenya?
The Dahua HAC-HDW1249X-IL-A-PRO carries an IP67 rating, meaning its housing is sealed against dust and heavy rain. Dahua rates it for minus 40 to plus 60 degrees Celsius, well beyond Garissa noon heat or a cold Limuru night. Humidity up to 95 percent without condensation is within spec. Dust on the dome can still soften the picture, so wipe it during routine checks, especially near murram roads or construction sites where fine dust settles quickly.
Can the Dahua HAC-HDW1249X-IL-A-PRO stay discreet with infrared only at night?
Yes, the Dahua HAC-HDW1249X-IL-A-PRO combines infrared and warm light, each reaching 50 metres, and Dahua lets you control the illuminator automatically or manually. The camera offers three illumination modes, set from your Dahua XVR menu rather than on the camera. Infrared keeps the scene invisible to the eye but records in black and white. Warm light shows full colour but is visible to anyone nearby. Many offices run infrared indoors and keep warm light for outdoor entrances, where a visible lamp also warns off intruders.
Is the Dahua HAC-HDW1249X-IL-A-PRO good for a school, clinic or SACCO banking hall?
The Dahua HAC-HDW1249X-IL-A-PRO fits these spaces because it pairs a ceiling-friendly dome with two microphones that pick up sound within 12 metres. Audio travels over the same coax as video, so a cashier's counter or classroom door gets picture and speech on one cable. The 130dB WDR keeps faces readable against bright windows. Check with your management, and local regulations, before recording conversations in rooms where staff or students expect privacy.
How far away can the Dahua HAC-HDW1249X-IL-A-PRO identify a person?
With the 3.6mm lens, the Dahua HAC-HDW1249X-IL-A-PRO identifies a person at up to 5.6 metres and recognises a known face at 11.1 metres, per Dahua's DORI figures. It detects movement out to 55.6 metres. The 2.8mm version trades reach for width, identifying at 4.6 metres and detecting at 45.6 metres. For a reception desk or doorway, mount the camera within those identify distances so faces stay usable as evidence.
Will the Dahua HAC-HDW1249X-IL-A-PRO work with my current DVR?
The Dahua HAC-HDW1249X-IL-A-PRO outputs CVI, TVI, AHD or CVBS, selected with a DIP switch, so it works with Dahua XVRs and most hybrid recorders from other brands. Video works on any of the four modes. Audio travels over CVI, so recording sound needs a Dahua recorder that accepts coax audio, such as the Dahua XVR1B08-I/T at KSh 6,300. If your DVR records at 1080N, footage is saved slightly below the camera's full 1080p width.
Who should buy the Dahua HAC-HDW1249X-IL-A-PRO and who should skip it?
The Dahua HAC-HDW1249X-IL-A-PRO suits businesses and homes that want colour night footage, sound and a tidy ceiling mount in one camera. Skip it if you need face detail at long distances, since 2MP limits identification to a few metres; a 5MP model such as the Dahua HAC-HDW1500CLQP-IL-A at KSh 3,200 gives more pixels. Skip it also if colour at night matters less than cost, because the Dahua HAC-HDW1200CLQP-IL-A covers basic indoor needs for KSh 2,600.
Technical Specifications
Sensor and Low-Light Imaging
- 2MP progressive-scan CMOS sensor at 1920 by 1080 — full HD footage that keeps fast movement free of blur lines.
- 1080p at 25 frames per second on PAL, the standard used in Kenya — smooth motion when replaying someone walking through a doorway.
- Electronic shutter from 1/25 to 1/100,000 of a second — freezes quick movement such as a hand reaching across a counter.
- Colour down to 0.0001 lux at F1.0 — keeps colour in near darkness where lesser cameras drop to black and white.
- 130dB wide dynamic range — balances bright windows and shaded rooms so faces near glass doors stay visible.
- 3D noise reduction plus BLC and HLC — cuts grain at night and tames glare from headlights or spotlights.
Lens Angles and Coverage
- Fixed F1.0 lens on an M12 mount — an unusually wide opening that lets in more light than an F1.6 lens.
- 2.8mm option covers about 101.8 degrees horizontally — suits a full room, lobby or small compound from one corner.
- 3.6mm option covers about 84.2 degrees horizontally — narrower view with more detail on faces at a counter or gate.
- Eyeball adjustment of pan 0 to 360, tilt 0 to 78 and rotation 0 to 360 degrees — aim it precisely after mounting.
- Close focus from 1.1 metres on 2.8mm and 1.6 metres on 3.6mm — objects nearer than that appear soft.
- Detection range of 45.6 metres on 2.8mm and 55.6 metres on 3.6mm — spots movement at the far end of a hall or yard.
Night Lighting System
- Four multi-core lights combining infrared and warm light — the camera picks the right light source for the scene.
- Infrared and warm light each reach 50 metres — enough to cover a long corridor, hall or parking area.
- Three illumination modes, set from the XVR — switch between discreet monochrome and full-colour night recording.
- Illuminator control in auto or manual — let the camera decide at dusk, or fix the setting yourself.
- 0 lux operation with the illuminator on — records even in rooms with no lighting at all.
Microphones and Video Output
- Two built-in microphones — capture speech from more than one direction for clearer audio evidence.
- Sound pickup up to 12 metres — covers a banking hall counter, classroom front or reception area.
- Camera audio sent over CVI — sound shares the coax cable with video, so no separate audio wire is needed.
- One BNC output, switchable between CVI, TVI, AHD and CVBS — fits Dahua recorders and most third-party hybrid DVRs.
- DIP switch signal selection — the installer changes the output type by hand in seconds, no software needed.
Housing Power and Weather Rating
- IP67 protection — sealed against dust and heavy rain, safe under eaves and on outdoor walls.
- Dome of metal and plastic with a plastic enclosure — measures 109.9 mm across and 102.2 mm tall.
- Net weight of 0.33 kg — light enough for ceiling boards, gypsum and timber soffits.
- 12V DC at plus or minus 30 percent, drawing up to 5.6 watts with lights on — size your power supply to that peak.
- Wall, ceiling or vertical pole mounting, with operation from minus 40 to plus 60 degrees Celsius.
