Dahua IPC-HFW1439TL1-A-IL is available at Mascom International for KSh 6,000, brand new and sealed, as a 4MP bullet network camera for outdoor walls, gates and parking areas. It records at 2560 × 1440 through a 2.8mm F1.6 lens with a 94-degree horizontal view, and both its infrared and warm light reach 30 metres. The Dahua IPC-HFW1439TL1-A-IL adds human detection, a built-in microphone and an IP67 metal and plastic body. Collect it from Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, where we can show the live picture on a recorder. It runs on PoE from one network cable or on a separate 12V adapter.
Built for landlords, estate managers, warehouse owners and shopkeepers across Kenya, the Dahua IPC-HFW1439TL1-A-IL watches gates, compound walls, loading bays and car parks. The usual problem with outdoor cameras is a flood of false alerts from cats, swaying trees and passing headlights. This camera tells human shapes from that noise, so your phone buzzes for real visitors. At night, infrared stays on and warm light switches on when a person appears, giving colour footage of the event. Logistics coordinators in Industrial Area and security leads at schools get an evidence-ready record of every arrival.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that stock unknown brands with no local backup, Mascom International sells genuine Dahua cameras with a 12-month warranty and a walk-in service desk. Customers across Nairobi tell us the Dahua IPC-HFW1439TL1-A-IL gives them the confidence of a business-grade system at a home budget. At Mascom International, we're seeing estates in Kilimani and Ruaka standardise on the Dahua IPC-HFW1439TL1-A-IL for perimeter coverage.

Common Questions About the Dahua IPC-HFW1439TL1-A-IL
How much does the Dahua IPC-HFW1439TL1-A-IL cost in Kenya?
The Dahua IPC-HFW1439TL1-A-IL costs KSh 6,000 brand new and sealed at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That includes a 12-month warranty through Mascom International and pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya. The box holds no power adapter or network cable, so plan for a PoE recorder or switch and Cat6 cable. The 2MP Dahua IPC-HFW1239TL1-A-IL Entry bullet costs KSh 5,000, so the 4MP version is KSh 1,000 more for sharper detail at a distance.
Should I choose the Dahua IPC-HFW1439TL1-A-IL or the Dahua IPC-B1E49P-A-IL?
The Dahua IPC-HFW1439TL1-A-IL costs KSh 6,000, while the Dahua IPC-B1E49P-A-IL ECO bullet costs KSh 5,200, a difference of KSh 800. Both are 4MP bullets with infrared and warm light. The Entry line sits a step above ECO in Dahua's range, and this model carries 120 dB true WDR for harsh backlight plus a metal and plastic body rated from minus 40 to 60 degrees. Pick the Entry bullet for business perimeters and busy gates. Pick the ECO bullet for simple home coverage on a tight budget.
How far can the Dahua IPC-HFW1439TL1-A-IL identify a face?
The Dahua IPC-HFW1439TL1-A-IL with its 2.8mm lens can identify a person at up to 6.4 metres, according to Dahua's DORI figures. It recognises a known person at 12.8 metres, observes activity at 25.6 metres and detects movement out to 64 metres. For a gate, mount the camera so visitors pass within about 6 metres of it. If you need faces further away, ask Mascom International about the 3.6mm version, which Dahua rates for identification at 8.5 metres with a narrower view.
Will the Dahua IPC-HFW1439TL1-A-IL survive rain, dust and heat in Kenya?
The Dahua IPC-HFW1439TL1-A-IL is rated IP67, which means it is dust-tight and protected against heavy rain and temporary immersion. Dahua rates it to run from minus 40 to 60 degrees Celsius at up to 95 percent humidity. That covers dusty sites in Machakos, hot rooftops in Garissa and humid walls in Mombasa. Seal the cable joint inside a junction box, because water entering through an open connector is the most common cause of outdoor camera faults in Kenya.
How much power does the Dahua IPC-HFW1439TL1-A-IL use on a UPS during KPLC outages?
The Dahua IPC-HFW1439TL1-A-IL draws 2.9 watts on PoE in normal use and up to 7.7 watts with all lights at full intensity, its peak figure. Four of these cameras on a PoE recorder need about 31 watts at peak, so a small UPS at the recorder keeps the whole system recording through a typical KPLC cut. On 12V DC, the figures drop to 2 watts basic and 6.4 watts at peak. Mascom International sells UPS units and can size one to your camera count in store.
Does the Dahua IPC-HFW1439TL1-A-IL record audio?
Yes, the Dahua IPC-HFW1439TL1-A-IL has a built-in microphone, marked by the A in its model name. It records sound with the video and can trigger an alarm through audio detection when a loud noise occurs. There is no speaker, so it cannot talk back. Audio supports G.711 and G.726 formats, which Dahua recorders play back directly. Sound helps at a gate where a guard and a visitor argue, or at a loading bay where instructions are given.
How many days of footage will a hard drive hold from the Dahua IPC-HFW1439TL1-A-IL?
The Dahua IPC-HFW1439TL1-A-IL streams at up to 4,096 kbps, which is about 44GB a day at that ceiling if it records nonstop. A 1TB surveillance drive therefore holds roughly 22 days from one camera at full bit rate. H.265+ compression lowers the real rate on quiet scenes, so many sites get far longer. Recording on motion only stretches it again. Mascom International sells surveillance hard drives and can advise on size for your camera count.
Who should buy the Dahua IPC-HFW1439TL1-A-IL and who should skip it?
The Dahua IPC-HFW1439TL1-A-IL suits landlords, warehouses, schools and shops that want outdoor 4MP coverage with human alerts and colour clips at night. It is a solid perimeter camera for the price. Skip it if you want the camera to scare intruders with a siren or strobe; the Dahua IPC-HFW1239TL1P-PV active deterrence bullet at KSh 5,800 does that. Skip it if you want full colour all night with people and vehicle filtering; the Dahua IPC-HFW2449MP-S-LED-B-PRO at KSh 9,000 fits better.
Technical Specifications
Sensor and Image
- 1/2.9-inch progressive-scan CMOS at 2560 × 1440 — 4MP detail, enough to zoom into recordings and read faces.
- Colour down to 0.006 lux at F1.6 — keeps colour in dim scenes such as a street-lit gate.
- 120 dB true WDR — a hardware feature that balances bright sky against shaded ground, so figures under a gate stay visible.
- Backlight and highlight compensation — tames car headlights and bright security lamps that would otherwise wash out a frame.
- 3D noise reduction — removes grain in low light, giving cleaner footage and smaller files.
Lens and Field of View
- 2.8mm fixed lens at F1.6 — a wide opening that gathers more light for clearer night images.
- 94-degree horizontal and 111-degree diagonal view — covers a full gate, parking strip or shop frontage from one point.
- Dahua DORI ranges for the 2.8mm lens — detect at 64 metres, recognise at 12.8 metres, identify at 6.4 metres.
- Close focus at 1.1 metres — keeps nearby subjects sharp when mounted low over a door or gate.
- Three-axis bracket — pan 360, tilt 90 and rotate 360 degrees to aim at walls, corners or long corridors.
Night Vision and Illumination
- Infrared up to 30 metres from two IR LEDs — clear black-and-white video across a dark compound.
- Warm light up to 30 metres from two warm LEDs — colour footage at night, so clothing and cars can be described.
- Dual light mode — infrared stays on, and warm light switches on only when a target enters the scene.
- Less glare for neighbours — warm light turns off once the target leaves, cutting light pollution on residential streets.
- Auto or manual control — set the lights to switch on their own or force one mode for a special site.
Video Compression and Human Detection
- H.265 and H.264 encoding — H.265 roughly halves file sizes for similar quality, saving hard drive space.
- H.265+ and H.264+ — Dahua's extra compression for scenes with little motion.
- Human detection with classification — filters out animals, rain and leaves, so alerts point to people.
- Event search on a Dahua NVR — pulls up every clip containing people quickly instead of scrolling through hours of footage.
- Alarm events — motion, tampering, audio detection, network disconnection, IP conflict and illegal access logins.
Connectivity and Power
- One 10/100 RJ-45 port — a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable connects the camera to a recorder or PoE switch.
- PoE 802.3af input — the standard most PoE recorders use, carrying power and video on one cable.
- 12V DC input — an alternative where the recorder lacks PoE, using an optional 12V 1A adapter.
- Power draw of 2.9 watts basic and 7.7 watts peak on PoE — light enough for a small UPS.
- ONVIF Profile S and T plus DMSS app — works with Dahua and many other recorders, and views on Android or iPhone.
Build and Installation
- Full ordering code DH-IPC-HFW1439TL1-A-IL — confirm the 2.8mm lens version with us when you order.
- IP67 rating — dust-tight and water-protected for exposed walls, poles and rooftops.
- Metal and plastic housing — 197.9 × 80.2 × 76.2 mm and 0.31 kg, easy to fix on a wall bracket.
- Working range from minus 40 to 60 degrees Celsius at up to 95 percent humidity — suits every Kenyan climate.
- Optional accessories — PFA134 junction box and PFA152-E pole mount bracket for tidy cable joints and pole fitting.
Package Contents
The Dahua IPC-HFW1439TL1-A-IL ships in Dahua's sealed retail box with the bullet camera inside.

Ask on WhatsApp for the exact box list.
