This camera suits homeowners, shop owners, and landlords who need clear eyes on a gate, shopfront, compound, or go-down. Many Nairobi dukas lose stock to theft after closing, and dark compounds give intruders cover at night. The Dahua IPC-B1E29-A-IL answers both problems with colour night footage and motion alerts that reach your phone over Safaricom or Airtel data. Property managers in Eastleigh, Industrial Area, and Kasarani mount it above entrances to log every visitor. Estate residents point it at parking bays to capture number plates and faces through the night.

Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya who sell cameras without setup help, Mascom International confirms the Dahua IPC-B1E29-A-IL works with your existing NVR or recorder before you pay. Buyers across Kenya report sharp daytime images and usable colour video long after sunset, even with one streetlight nearby. The 1/2.8-inch sensor pulls in more light than the tiny sensors in budget cameras, so faces stay readable. Visit our Kimathi Street showroom to see the Dahua IPC-B1E29-A-IL live on a monitor, or order it for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties.

The Dahua IPC-B1E29-A-IL is a 2MP outdoor bullet IP camera priced at KSh 2,800 at Mascom International. It records 1080p Full HD video at 30 frames per second through a 1/2.8-inch CMOS sensor and a 3.6mm fixed lens. The lens covers roughly an 87-degree field of view, wide enough for a gate, doorway, or shop counter. It connects over a network cable, stores clips locally, and streams live to your phone. The price sits well below most 2MP IP cameras sold in Nairobi.

Night vision runs on a dual-light system. Infrared LEDs light scenes up to 30 metres in black and white, while warm white LEDs reach about 15 metres for full-colour footage. The camera switches between the two on its own, based on motion and available light. A low-light rating of 0.005 lux at F1.6 means it keeps a usable picture in near darkness. For a Kenyan compound with one security bulb, you get colour video that shows clothing and skin tone, not just grey shapes.

Yes. A microphone sits inside the housing and captures audio alongside the video. This pairs voices, alarms, or breaking glass with the footage, which helps when you review an incident later. Audio recording matters for shops and reception areas where a conversation explains what the picture alone cannot. You can switch the microphone off in the settings if local privacy rules or staff agreements require it. The single cable carrying video also carries the recorded sound back to your NVR or phone app.

The camera uses Power over Ethernet, so one network cable carries both power and video from a PoE switch or NVR up to 100 metres away. This removes the need for a separate power socket at the mounting point. It also accepts a standard DC 12V supply if you prefer. A microSD card slot holds footage locally up to 256GB, useful when your network drops. The camera links to the Dahua mobile app for live viewing over Safaricom Home Fibre, Airtel, or any router.

Its IP67 rating means the housing keeps out dust and survives heavy rain, so it holds up through Nairobi storms and Coast humidity. The metal-and-plastic body shrugs off the fine dust common along murram roads and construction sites. A wide voltage tolerance lets it run through the small power dips that hit many Kenyan compounds. Mount it under an eave or use the supplied gland on the cable joint, and the camera works year-round in Mombasa heat or Limuru cold without losing its seal.

Yes. The camera runs SMD, a motion-detection method that separates people from moving leaves, rain, or stray animals. When it spots a human-shaped target, it pushes an alert to the Dahua app on your phone. This cuts the flood of false alarms that cheaper motion cameras produce. You set detection zones to watch a gate or till and ignore a busy road. Many shop owners get a phone buzz the moment someone enters after closing, giving them time to call for help.

This camera fits homeowners, landlords, shopkeepers, and small business owners who want one tough outdoor camera at a low price. It suits a single entry point: a gate, shop door, go-down, or parking bay. Estate managers in Kasarani, Rongai, and Syokimau use several units to cover a compound on one NVR. Office receptions and salon fronts in the CBD use it for a clear record of foot traffic. If you run an existing Dahua or compatible NVR, this unit slots straight in.

At KSh 2,800 it costs about the same as no-name cameras but carries a 1/2.8-inch sensor, dual-light colour night vision, and a microphone that those rivals usually skip. Cheaper cameras use smaller sensors that wash out faces and drop to grainy grey at night. Over a year that works out near KSh 8 a day for footage you can actually use in a police report or insurance claim. Buyers across Kenya keep choosing Dahua for parts availability and steady firmware support.
