The Dahua P3B-PV 3MP Outdoor Wi-Fi Pan & Tilt Network Camera is now available at Mascom International for KSh 6,300, ready for collection at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. This Dahua P3B-PV records 3MP video at 2304x1296 resolution, swivels 355 degrees side to side, and tilts 90 degrees up and down from one mounting point. It connects over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, stores footage on a MicroSD card up to 256GB, and carries an outdoor-rated housing. At KSh 6,300, it sits among the most affordable motorised outdoor cameras sold in Kenya today.
This camera fits homeowners in estates across Karen, Kileleshwa, Runda, and Syokimau who want one device to watch a wide gate, driveway, or compound corner. Shop owners along Tom Mboya Street, landlords managing rental units, and small businesses in Industrial Area also use the Dahua P3B-PV to cut blind spots that fixed cameras leave behind. The motorised head solves a common problem: instead of buying three static cameras to cover a yard, one P3B-PV pans across the whole area and tracks movement on its own.
Unlike basic Wi-Fi cameras that only point one direction, the Dahua P3B-PV moves to follow detected people and cars, then sounds a siren and flashes a light to scare off intruders. Customers across Kenya tell us the two-way audio alone changes how they use the camera, letting them speak to visitors or warn off trespassers from a phone anywhere. Mascom International stocks the Dahua P3B-PV now, with countrywide pay-on-arrival delivery and a Nairobi CBD store where you can see it working before you buy.
Common Questions About the Dahua P3B-PV Network Camera
How much does the Dahua P3B-PV cost in Kenya?
The Dahua P3B-PV costs KSh 6,300 at Mascom International. That price covers the full camera unit with its mounting hardware, ready to install on a wall or under an eave. For a motorised pan-and-tilt outdoor camera with night vision, two-way audio, and on-board recording, this sits well below most rotating cameras on the Kenyan market. You pay only when the camera reaches you through our pay-on-arrival delivery, so there is no risk in ordering from anywhere in the country.
Does the Dahua P3B-PV record in color at night?
Yes, the Dahua P3B-PV captures full-color footage at night using two warm LED lights alongside two infrared LEDs. The warm lights switch on when motion is detected, lighting faces and number plates in color up to 30 metres away. When you prefer discreet monitoring, the infrared mode gives black-and-white night vision to the same 30-metre range without any visible glow. This dual-light setup means you read details after dark that older infrared-only cameras miss entirely.
Can the Dahua P3B-PV detect people and vehicles?
The Dahua P3B-PV separates people and vehicles from general movement, so wind, rain, and passing animals trigger far fewer false alerts. When it spots a person or car, the motorised head turns to follow the target across its field of view automatically. It then pushes a notification to your phone through the DMSS app. This focus on real threats matters during the rainy season in Nairobi, when swaying trees would otherwise flood a basic camera with useless alerts all night.
Does the Dahua P3B-PV need a monthly subscription?
No, the Dahua P3B-PV records to a MicroSD card of up to 256GB that you buy once and keep. There are no monthly cloud fees to view or replay your footage. A 256GB card holds many days of motion-triggered clips before older recordings loop over. This suits Kenyan households watching every shilling, since you avoid the recurring airtime-style charges that subscription cameras pile on month after month.
How does the two-way audio work on the Dahua P3B-PV?
The Dahua P3B-PV has a built-in microphone and speaker, letting you hear and talk through the camera from the DMSS app on your phone. You can answer a gate visitor, instruct a delivery rider where to leave a parcel, or warn off someone loitering at your wall. The audio runs over your Wi-Fi connection, so it works whether you are in the next room or travelling upcountry. This turns a watching camera into a tool you actually speak through.
What kind of Wi-Fi does the Dahua P3B-PV use?
The Dahua P3B-PV connects over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi using the newer 802.11ax standard, which holds a steadier link through walls and across a compound than older cameras. It also has an RJ-45 network port if you prefer a wired connection for the most stable feed. The 2.4GHz band reaches further than 5GHz, helping the camera stay online at a far gate. Setup pairs quickly through a QR code scan and Bluetooth in the DMSS app.
Is the Dahua P3B-PV waterproof enough for Kenyan weather?
Yes, the Dahua P3B-PV carries an outdoor-rated sealed housing built to handle rain, dust, and direct sun. It operates from minus 20 to plus 50 degrees Celsius, well within the range of any Kenyan county from coastal Mombasa humidity to chilly Nyahururu nights. The plastic enclosure shrugs off the long rains and the dust that blows along Mombasa Road and Thika Road in the dry months. Mount it under an eave for the longest service life.
Does the Dahua P3B-PV sound an alarm when it sees an intruder?
Yes, when the camera detects a person at an odd hour it can trigger a built-in siren and flash its lights to scare the intruder away before any damage is done. This active deterrence runs automatically based on rules you set, or you can fire the alarm yourself from the app. The camera also flags abnormal sounds. For a homeowner returning to Kenya after years abroad, or anyone tired of silent cameras that only record a break-in after it happens, this turns watching into stopping.
