Dahua T2A-LED is available at Mascom International for KSh 6,300, a 2MP Wi-Fi turret network camera that records 1920 x 1080 footage day and night and streams it to your phone without cables running back to a recorder. Our stock is brand new and sealed. The Dahua T2A-LED pairs an F1.6 fixed lens with two LED illuminators, a built-in microphone, and AI human detection that triggers alerts on your phone. Its IP67 housing shrugs off rain and dust on a veranda or a shop doorway. Find it at our store in the Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for homeowners, shopkeepers, estate agents and small office managers across Kenya, the Dahua T2A-LED solves a common problem: you want to see the gate or the till without paying a technician to pull cable through walls. Mount it near a power point, join it to your home Wi-Fi, and open the Dahua DMSS app on your phone. A boda boda rider at a Kilimani gate, a late customer at a Kisumu M-Pesa shop, or a car parked in a Nakuru compound all show up live. When a person walks into view, the camera flags it and your phone buzzes.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell unbranded Wi-Fi cameras with unknown apps and no warranty, Mascom International stocks the Dahua T2A-LED from a brand trusted by security installers worldwide. Customers across Nairobi tell us they want footage saved on a memory card inside the camera, not only on a cloud plan that bills every month. The camera also works with Dahua's SmartPSS desktop software for anyone watching several cameras on one computer. Visit our Kimathi Street shop to see the app running, or order on WhatsApp and pay when the Dahua T2A-LED reaches your door.
Common Questions About the Dahua T2A-LED
How much is the Dahua T2A-LED 2MP camera in Kenya?
The Dahua T2A-LED costs KSh 6,300 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, brand new and sealed, with a 12-month warranty. That price covers the camera itself and pay-on-arrival delivery to any of the 47 counties. A memory card is a separate purchase. The 4MP sibling, the Dahua T4A-LED, currently sells for KSh 5,700 in our stock, which is KSh 600 less than this 2MP model. Ask our team on WhatsApp which of the two suits your site.
Should I buy the Dahua T2A-LED or the 4MP Dahua T4A-LED?
The Dahua T2A-LED records 1920 x 1080, while the Dahua T4A-LED records 2560 x 1440 for finer detail on faces and number plates. The T4A-LED also has a published 30-metre warm-light range and a 98-degree horizontal view. Both run on 12V DC, use 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and carry IP67 housings. Pick the T2A-LED when your router signal is weak or you want smaller video files. Pick the T4A-LED when you need more detail, especially since it is KSh 600 cheaper.
Does the Dahua T2A-LED keep recording during KPLC power cuts?
No, the Dahua T2A-LED stops recording when its 12V DC supply goes off, because it has no internal battery. During KPLC outages your Wi-Fi router usually goes down too, so phone alerts stop as well. The fix is a small UPS that powers both the camera adapter and the router for a few hours. Many Nairobi homes on Safaricom Home Fibre or Zuku already run their router on a UPS. Recording resumes on its own once power returns.
Who should buy the Dahua T2A-LED, and who should skip it?
The Dahua T2A-LED suits homeowners, small shops, salons, chemists and offices that want one or two cameras managed from a phone. It fits renters too, since it needs no cabling back to a recorder. Skip it if you are covering a large compound, a warehouse in Industrial Area, or an apartment block with ten or more cameras. Those sites are better served by wired PoE cameras and a network video recorder, which our team can quote for you.
Can the Dahua T2A-LED see clearly at night?
Yes, the Dahua T2A-LED uses two built-in LED illuminators that switch on automatically when light falls. With the lights on, the camera can capture colour footage of a visitor's clothing or a car's paint, which helps when describing an incident to police. It can also run in black and white mode if you prefer the lights off. The F1.6 aperture lets in more light than a typical budget camera lens, so dim corridors and parking bays stay readable.
How do I watch the Dahua T2A-LED on my phone?
You watch the Dahua T2A-LED through Dahua's free DMSS app, available on Android and iPhone. Power the camera, scan its QR code in the app, and connect it to your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. After setup you can view live video, play back recordings and receive human detection alerts from anywhere with mobile data. Customers using Safaricom or Airtel Kenya data bundles report smooth live viewing when they lower the stream to 720p on slower connections.
How many days of footage does a memory card hold in the Dahua T2A-LED?
A 256GB microSD card holds about five to six days of nonstop recording at the Dahua T2A-LED's top bit rate of 4096 kbps. That figure assumes the highest quality setting, which uses about 44GB a day. Switching to H.265 compression or a lower bit rate stretches it much further. Recording only when motion or a person is detected can turn the same card into several weeks of useful footage, since quiet hours are skipped.
Can the Dahua T2A-LED be installed outdoors?
The Dahua T2A-LED carries an IP67 rating, so its housing resists dust and heavy rain, and it runs from minus 40 to 60 degrees Celsius. Dahua groups it with its indoor Wi-Fi range, so we advise mounting it under an eave, a veranda roof or a shop canopy. Keep the 12V power adapter and its plug indoors or in a sealed box. Customers in Mombasa and Kisumu use this approach against coastal humidity and long rains.
Technical Specifications
Sensor and Image Quality
- 2MP resolution at 1920 x 1080 — clear enough to recognise a familiar face across a small room, a shop counter or a gate about a car length away.
- Selectable 1280 x 720 and 1280 x 960 modes — lower settings save storage space and mobile data when your Wi-Fi or bundle connection is slow.
- AI human detection — the camera tells people apart from cats, cars and moving shadows, cutting the false alerts that make owners mute their phones.
- Video motion detection — a second trigger for alerts and recording when anything moves in the frame.
- Built-in microphone — records sound with the video, useful for hearing what a visitor said at the counter or the gate.
Lens and Night Imaging
- Fixed-focal lens — the view is set at the factory, so there is no zoom to adjust, no motor to fail and nothing that drifts out of position.
- F1.6 aperture — a wide opening that lets in more light, keeping dim entrances, stairwells and back rooms easier to see in the evening.
- Two LED illuminators — they switch on by themselves at night, lighting the scene so footage keeps its colour instead of turning grey.
- Auto illumination control — the camera decides when to turn the lights on, so you never adjust it manually.
- Colour and black and white night modes — choose colour detail or a darker, less noticeable black and white view.
Video Recording and Compression
- H.265 compression — stores the same footage in smaller files than older H.264, so memory cards hold more days before older footage is overwritten.
- H.264, H.264B and H.264H support — older formats that work with most third-party recorders, older computers and common video players.
- Bit rate from 12 kbps to 4096 kbps — you choose the balance between picture quality, file size and how much data live viewing uses.
- Audio codecs G.711a, G.711Mu, G.726 and PCM — standard formats that play back on phones and computers.
- Live view plus playback in the app — check what happened at 2:00 AM without walking to a recorder or calling the night guard.
Power and Storage
- 12V DC power input — runs from a standard adapter, so a small UPS keeps it going through short outages and evening load-shedding.
- MicroSD card slot for local recording — footage stays in the camera, even when the internet or the router drops for hours.
- About 44GB a day at the top bit rate — a 128GB card holds roughly three days of nonstop footage.
- Motion-triggered recording — saves only the moments that matter, stretching the same card across weeks.
- Metal and plastic housing — a sturdy shell that keeps the weight low enough for plastic wall plugs on a ceiling or wall.
Connectivity and Durability
- Wi-Fi 4 on 802.11b, g and n — connects to almost any home or office router, including Safaricom and Airtel Kenya fibre routers.
- 2.4GHz wireless band — travels through walls better than 5GHz, helpful in stone-built Kenyan homes and shops with thick concrete walls.
- Dahua DMSS app for Android and iPhone — live view, playback and alerts from anywhere with mobile data.
- SmartPSS and DSS software support — view several cameras together on a Windows computer at the office.
- IP67 rating and minus 40 to 60 degree Celsius range — sealed against dust and heavy rain, with heat to spare.
