Dahua T4A-LED 4MP Full-Color Wi-Fi Bullet Network Camera is now available at Mascom International for KSh 6,000, in stock at our Old Mutual Building store on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. This Dahua T4A-LED camera pairs a 1/3-inch 4-megapixel sensor with a fixed 2.8mm F1.6 lens and a built-in warm-light LED that produces full-colour footage up to 30 metres at night. It connects over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, records to a microSD card of up to 256GB, and carries an IP67 weatherproof rating. The Dahua T4A-LED ships brand new and sealed from Mascom International.
Built for Kenyan homeowners, landlords, and small business owners, the Dahua T4A-LED suits shops along Nairobi CBD, residential compounds in Kasarani, Ruiru, and Rongai, and rental units run by Airbnb hosts. Many shopkeepers lose footage the moment the lights go out, leaving night-time break-ins unrecorded. This camera answers that gap. Its warm-white LED keeps recording faces, clothing colours, and number plates in full colour through the night rather than switching to grainy black and white. Human detection trims false alerts from stray cats, moths, and swaying trees, so your phone buzzes only when a person enters the frame.
At KSh 6,000, the Dahua T4A-LED undercuts most full-colour Wi-Fi cameras sold through Kenya's electronics shops, which often start above KSh 9,000 for the same 4MP resolution. Unlike older 1080p units that record in black and white after dark, this model holds true colour around the clock. Customers across Nairobi tell us the cable-free setup takes minutes, since the camera joins a home or shop Wi-Fi router without an electrician. Mascom International stocks the Dahua T4A-LED now and ships it to all 47 counties with pay-on-arrival delivery, so you inspect the unit before any money changes hands.
Common Questions About the Dahua T4A-LED Bullet Network Camera
What does the Dahua T4A-LED record at night?
The Dahua T4A-LED records full-colour video up to 30 metres in darkness using a built-in warm-white LED. Older cameras drop to black and white once the sun sets, hiding the colour of a jacket or a getaway car. This model keeps faces, clothing, and number plates visible through the night. The warm light switches on automatically when surroundings dim. For Nairobi compounds and shopfronts that rely on clear after-dark evidence, that colour footage matters far more than grainy monochrome clips.
Does the Dahua T4A-LED need cabling or a network video recorder?
No. The Dahua T4A-LED joins your existing 2.4GHz Wi-Fi router, so no network cable runs from camera to recorder. Footage saves straight to a microSD card inside the camera, up to 256GB. You view live and recorded clips through the Dahua DMSS app on Android or iPhone. This cable-free setup suits rented shops and homes where drilling long cable runs is not allowed. Most buyers mount the unit and finish setup within fifteen minutes, no electrician or recorder box required.
How far does the Wi-Fi reach from the router?
The Dahua T4A-LED connects over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi at ranges up to 80 metres in open space, though walls and gates shorten that distance. Place it within clear line of sight of your Safaricom Home Fibre or Faiba router for a steady signal. Thick stone walls common in Kenyan compounds cut the range, so a mid-compound mounting point works better than a far back wall. If the signal drops during a Kenya Power outage, the camera rejoins the network on its own once electricity returns.
Is the Dahua T4A-LED safe to mount outdoors in the rain?
Yes. The Dahua T4A-LED carries an IP67 rating, meaning it resists dust and heavy rain without a separate housing. Kenya's long rains from March to May pose no problem for a correctly mounted unit. Angle the camera slightly downward so water runs off the lens cover rather than pooling on it. The metal-and-plastic body handles coastal humidity in Mombasa and Diani as well as dusty upcountry sites around Nakuru and Eldoret. Keep the cable joint sealed with the supplied waterproof cap.
What is human detection and how does it cut false alarms?
Human detection means the camera flags movement only when it recognises a person's shape, not every moving leaf or passing cat. Standard motion alerts flood your phone with notifications from rain, insects near the LED, and swaying branches. The Dahua T4A-LED filters these out and pings you when a human enters the view. Shop owners in Nairobi CBD and landlords managing several units get fewer, more useful alerts. You still record continuous or motion-based clips to the microSD card for later review.
Can the Dahua T4A-LED hear what happens around it?
The Dahua T4A-LED includes a built-in microphone that records sound alongside video, useful for capturing voices at a gate or counter. Recorded audio plays back in the DMSS app with the matching footage. For shops, a clear audio trail strengthens evidence when reviewing a dispute or theft. Check local rules before recording conversations on business premises.
How much storage does it need and what does that cost?
The Dahua T4A-LED accepts a microSD card up to 256GB, which is plenty for weeks of motion-triggered 4MP footage. A 128GB card, around KSh 1,800 in Nairobi, typically holds one to two weeks of recordings depending on activity. Using H.265+ compression roughly halves file sizes versus older H.264, stretching that card further. For continuous 24-hour recording, lean toward the 256GB card. Mascom International stocks compatible SanDisk and Samsung microSD cards separately if you need one with your camera.
Who should buy the Dahua T4A-LED at KSh 6,000?
The Dahua T4A-LED fits homeowners watching a gate or compound, shopkeepers covering a till and entrance, and landlords monitoring rental blocks in Kasarani, Ruiru, or Rongai. Airbnb hosts use it on entrances to track check-ins and check-outs. School administrators mount it over parking bays and walkways. At KSh 6,000, it costs less than a single month of a manned-guard shift, yet records every night in full colour. Buyers wanting several cameras across one site find the price practical for multi-unit coverage.
How does the LED model compare to the IR version of the same camera?
The LED model records full-colour footage at night using warm white light, while standard IR cameras switch to black and white in darkness. Colour matters when a witness or police officer needs to identify a red shirt or a white car. The trade-off is the visible glow from the warm-white LED, which some buyers prefer hidden. For driveways, shopfronts, and gates where colour identification counts, the LED version earns its place. For discreet covert spots, an IR model stays unseen.
