Mascom International stocks the Dahua IPC-HFW2449MP-S-LED-B-PRO, a 4MP WizColor bullet camera, at KSh 9,000, brand new and sealed and ready for collection or delivery today. It pairs a large 1/1.8-inch sensor with a bright F1.0 lens and warm LED lighting rated to 30 metres, so it records in full colour through the night. WizSense detection sorts people from vehicles, a built-in microphone captures sound, and it runs on PoE or 12V DC with an IP67 rating. The Dahua IPC-HFW2449MP-S-LED-B-PRO is on display at our Kimathi Street shop in Nairobi CBD.
Built for business owners, petrol station managers, school bursars, logistics coordinators and homeowners across Kenya, the Dahua IPC-HFW2449MP-S-LED-B-PRO answers a common complaint about night footage. Most cameras switch to grey infrared after sunset, and police or insurers then struggle to tell a red jacket from a blue one. The Dahua IPC-HFW2449MP-S-LED-B-PRO keeps colour all night, which helps identify a vehicle at a gate in Karen or a suspect at a warehouse in Industrial Area. Its 3.6mm lens suits driveways, shop fronts and loading bays, and WizSense alerts reach your phone only when a person or vehicle appears.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops push cheaper infrared bullets without explaining the night picture, Mascom International shows you colour night footage from the Dahua IPC-HFW2449MP-S-LED-B-PRO on a live screen before you pay. Buyers throughout Kenya report that colour clips are far easier to share with the police and with their insurer after an incident. The metal and plastic housing handles outdoor mounting on walls and poles, from Nakuru farm stores to Eldoret hostels. Come to the shop on Kimathi Street to compare it with our dual light models, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in the country.
Common Questions About the Dahua IPC-HFW2449MP-S-LED-B-PRO
How much does the Dahua IPC-HFW2449MP-S-LED-B-PRO cost in Kenya?
The Dahua IPC-HFW2449MP-S-LED-B-PRO costs KSh 9,000 brand new and sealed at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price includes the 12-month warranty and pay-on-arrival delivery to any county. The box holds the camera only, so plan for PoE from an NVR or switch, or a separate 12V adapter. The Dahua IPC-HDW2449TP-S-LED-PRO WizColor eyeball sells at KSh 8,500, which puts this bullet KSh 500 higher. Against the Dahua IPC-HFW1439TL1-A-IL Entry bullet at KSh 6,000, you pay KSh 3,000 more for colour after dark and WizSense human and vehicle detection.
Should I choose the Dahua IPC-HFW2449MP-S-LED-B-PRO bullet or the Dahua IPC-HDW2449TP-S-LED-PRO eyeball?
Choose the Dahua IPC-HFW2449MP-S-LED-B-PRO for outdoor walls and poles, and the IPC-HDW2449TP-S-LED-PRO eyeball for ceilings and porches. Both are 4MP WizColor WizSense cameras that record full colour at night. The bullet's long body and visible shape act as a clear warning to anyone approaching a gate or yard. The eyeball is smaller and less obvious, which suits receptions and shop interiors. The bullet costs KSh 9,000 against KSh 8,500 for the eyeball, a gap of KSh 500.
Why does colour night vision matter on the Dahua IPC-HFW2449MP-S-LED-B-PRO?
Colour night vision on the Dahua IPC-HFW2449MP-S-LED-B-PRO records the real colours of clothing, vehicles and number plate surrounds after dark. Infrared cameras show the same scene in grey, and two different jackets or cars can look identical. The F1.0 lens and 1/1.8-inch sensor gather enough light to keep colour even under weak street lighting, and the warm LEDs fill in the rest. For an incident report at a Kenyan police station, a colour clip gives officers far more to work with.
Will the warm light on the Dahua IPC-HFW2449MP-S-LED-B-PRO bother my neighbours?
The warm light on the Dahua IPC-HFW2449MP-S-LED-B-PRO is a soft yellow glow rather than a harsh white floodlight, but it is visible at night. In a tight estate in Kileleshwa or South B, aim the camera at your own gate or parking rather than across a neighbour's windows. The light also tells intruders the area is watched. If a site needs dark recording with colour only on demand, a dual light model such as the Dahua IPC-HDBW2449E-S-IL is the gentler option.
Does the Dahua IPC-HFW2449MP-S-LED-B-PRO survive Kenyan weather and power problems?
Yes, the Dahua IPC-HFW2449MP-S-LED-B-PRO carries an IP67 rating, so it is sealed against dust and protected against heavy rain. That suits dusty sites in Athi River, wet Kisii afternoons and humid Mombasa nights alike. For KPLC outages, put its PoE NVR or switch on a UPS so recording continues. In lightning-prone areas such as western Kenya, add a surge protector at the socket and a well-grounded network line to protect the camera and the recorder.
Can the Dahua IPC-HFW2449MP-S-LED-B-PRO send alerts to my phone?
The Dahua IPC-HFW2449MP-S-LED-B-PRO sends human and vehicle alerts to your phone through the free Dahua DMSS app. SMD Plus filters out leaves, rain and stray animals, so alerts point to real activity. Tripwire and intrusion rules let you draw a line across a gate or a zone around a parking bay. The app streams over Safaricom and Airtel Kenya mobile data or home fibre, so you can check a clip on your way to work or while travelling.
Who should buy the Dahua IPC-HFW2449MP-S-LED-B-PRO and who should skip it?
The Dahua IPC-HFW2449MP-S-LED-B-PRO suits anyone who needs colour evidence at night from a gate, driveway, shop front or loading bay. Skip it if you want a siren and flashing warning to scare intruders, where an active deterrence model such as the Dahua IPC-PT1439H-PV fits better. It is also not for a site that must stay dark at night. Buyers on a tight budget who accept grey night footage can save with the Dahua IPC-HFW1439TL1-A-IL Entry bullet at KSh 6,000.
Can the Dahua IPC-HFW2449MP-S-LED-B-PRO record without an NVR?
Yes, the Dahua IPC-HFW2449MP-S-LED-B-PRO records directly to a microSD card of up to 256GB inside the camera. That suits a single-camera setup at a small kiosk or a home gate, viewed through the DMSS app over your router. With H.265+ compression and motion-only recording, a card lasts many days before overwriting, though the exact figure depends on activity. For several cameras or continuous recording, a Dahua NVR with a surveillance hard drive is the better choice.
Technical Specifications
Sensor and Image
- Full ordering code DH-IPC-HFW2449MP-S-LED-0360B-B-PRO-S1 — the 0360 in the code marks the 3.6mm lens version.
- 1/1.8-inch CMOS sensor — a larger chip than most entry cameras, catching more light for colour after dark.
- 4MP resolution of 2688 × 1520 at 20fps — enough detail to pick out faces and clothing at a gate.
- 2560 × 1440 mode at 25 or 30fps — smoother motion for busy shop fronts and driveways.
- 120dB WDR with BLC and HLC — balances bright headlights and dark corners in the same frame.
Lens and Field of View
- Fixed-focal 3.6mm lens — a moderate angle that covers a driveway, gate or shop entrance with good face detail.
- F1.0 aperture — a wide opening that lets in far more light than the F1.6 lenses on many entry cameras.
- No motorised zoom — the view is set at installation, so plan the mounting point with our team first.
- Digital rotation mode — turns the image upright for tall, narrow scenes such as corridors and side passages.
- Region of interest encoding — keeps chosen areas such as a gate or till sharper while saving bandwidth elsewhere.
Night Vision and Illumination
- WizColor full-colour night imaging — keeps footage in colour instead of switching to grey infrared after dark.
- Warm LED illumination rated to 30 metres — lights up a typical compound or car park in soft yellow light.
- 0.0005 lux minimum illumination at F1.0 — records colour under weak street lighting before the LEDs are needed.
- Automatic day and night switching — the camera adjusts itself at dusk and dawn with no manual steps.
- 3D noise reduction — cleans up grainy dark footage so details stay readable on playback.
Video Compression and AI Detection
- H.265+ compression — shrinks file sizes compared with plain H.264, so storage lasts longer.
- H.264 and H.264+ support — keeps the camera compatible with older recorders and viewing software.
- SMD Plus human and vehicle classification — alerts focus on real targets instead of shadows, rain and animals.
- Tripwire and intrusion detection — draw a line or zone, and the camera alerts only when it is crossed.
- Tampering, audio detection and network disconnection alarms — warns you if the camera is covered or cut off.
Connectivity and Power
- RJ-45 10/100 Base-T Ethernet port — a wired link for stable streaming to an NVR, switch or router.
- PoE power — one network cable carries power and video, so no socket is needed on the wall.
- 12V DC input — an alternative for small setups without a PoE switch, using a separate adapter.
- Micro SD slot up to 256GB — stores footage inside the camera as a backup or for single-camera use.
- Built-in microphone with G.711a, G.711u, G.726 and PCM audio — records sound alongside video.
Build and Installation
- Bullet housing — a long, visible body that warns people the area is under watch.
- Metal and plastic construction — built for outdoor walls, poles and eaves.
- IP67 weather rating — sealed against dust and protected from heavy rain in outdoor use.
- Digital watermarking — marks recordings so you can show police or insurers the footage has not been altered.
- White finish — blends with most painted walls, eaves and gate pillars on homes and commercial buildings.
