Dahua HAC-HDW1500CLQP-IL-A | 5MP HDCVI Eyeball | 30m Dual Light | 2.8mm Lens | Built-in Mic
A wide-angle ceiling or wall unit that names faces across a whole room, even after the lights go off.
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
The Dahua HAC-HDW1500CLQP-IL-A is a 5MP HDCVI eyeball camera with a 2.8mm lens, 30m infrared and warm-light night vision and a built-in microphone, available at Mascom International for KSh 3,200. Every unit is brand new and sealed. It records at 2880 x 1620 pixels, about two and a half times the detail of a 1080p camera, and its IP67 housing handles rain under an eave as well as dust indoors. Mascom International sells the Dahua HAC-HDW1500CLQP-IL-A from our first-floor shop in Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, where you can view live footage before paying.
Designed for shop floors, reception areas, clinics, classrooms and sitting rooms, the Dahua HAC-HDW1500CLQP-IL-A covers a wide space from one corner. A common frustration with 2MP cameras is footage that shows someone entered but blurs the face once you zoom in. The Dahua HAC-HDW1500CLQP-IL-A fixes that with 5MP detail, and its 113-degree horizontal view takes in a full room width. A pharmacy owner in Kitengela can read who stood at the counter, and a parent in Ruaka can hear what was said at the door through the camera's microphone.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that push the cheapest 2MP dome for every job, Mascom International stocks the Dahua HAC-HDW1500CLQP-IL-A for buyers who need to identify people, not just spot them. Customers across Nairobi tell us the colour night mode is what wins them over, because a jacket colour often matters in a police report. Buyers throughout Kenya report that the eyeball shape is easy to aim after mounting, even on a sloped ceiling. Visit us to compare the Dahua HAC-HDW1500CLQP-IL-A side by side with our 2MP eyeball, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery.
Common Questions About the Dahua HAC-HDW1500CLQP-IL-A
How much is the Dahua HAC-HDW1500CLQP-IL-A 2.8mm 5MP eyeball in Kenya?
The Dahua HAC-HDW1500CLQP-IL-A costs KSh 3,200 brand new at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price covers the camera, our 12-month warranty and pay-on-arrival delivery across Kenya. A 12V power supply, coaxial cable and BNC connectors are bought separately, along with a recorder if you do not have one. The 2MP Dahua HAC-HDW1200CLQP-IL-A eyeball costs KSh 2,600, so the 5MP model is KSh 600 more for over twice the pixels and a 30m night range instead of 20m.
Is the Dahua HAC-HDW1500CLQP-IL-A worth KSh 600 more than the Dahua HAC-HDW1200CLQP-IL-A?
Yes, if you need to identify faces; the Dahua HAC-HDW1500CLQP-IL-A records 5MP against the 2MP of the Dahua HAC-HDW1200CLQP-IL-A. Both are Dahua eyeball cameras with a 2.8mm lens, Dual Light night vision and a built-in microphone. The 5MP unit also reaches 30m at night instead of 20m. The 2MP model is the better pick for corridors and stores where you only need to see that someone passed. For counters, tills and doors, the extra KSh 600 is money well spent.
How much of a room does the 2.8mm lens on the Dahua HAC-HDW1500CLQP-IL-A cover?
The 2.8mm lens on the Dahua HAC-HDW1500CLQP-IL-A sees 113.3 degrees across, 62.1 degrees up and down, and 134.3 degrees corner to corner. Mounted in one corner of a typical shop or sitting room, it takes in most of the space. A wide view means each face takes up fewer pixels at a distance, which is why the 5MP sensor matters here. For a long driveway or gate far from the wall, a 3.6mm bullet such as the Dahua HAC-HFW1500RLP-IL-A gives a tighter view.
What does the Dahua HAC-HDW1500CLQP-IL-A show at night?
The Dahua HAC-HDW1500CLQP-IL-A has two lights, infrared and warm white, each reaching 30m, and three night modes. In the default mode it records black and white under infrared, then switches on the warm light for colour when it detects a person or vehicle. White-light mode keeps colour all night, and IR mode stays discreet in black and white. That suits a home in Kilimani where a constant white glow would disturb neighbours, but colour footage of an intruder is still wanted.
Can the Dahua HAC-HDW1500CLQP-IL-A go outside during the long rains?
Yes, the Dahua HAC-HDW1500CLQP-IL-A carries an IP67 rating, so it is sealed against dust and can survive heavy rain. It is rated to run from -40°C to +60°C, covering a hot Garissa afternoon or a cold Nyahururu night. The housing is plastic, so mount it under an eave or a canopy where it is harder to reach and knock. Seal the cable joint with tape or a junction box, because water usually enters through the BNC connector, not the camera body.
Which recorder should I pair with the Dahua HAC-HDW1500CLQP-IL-A?
Pair the Dahua HAC-HDW1500CLQP-IL-A with a 5MP-capable recorder such as the Dahua XVR5108HS-5M-I3/T at KSh 10,500 or the 16-channel Dahua XVR5116HS-5M-I3/T at KSh 16,500. Both accept its HDCVI signal and record its audio over coax. A 1080N recorder like the Dahua XVR1B04-I/T will still show the camera, but at much lower detail, wasting what you paid for. If your recorder is another brand, a DIP switch on the camera changes its output to AHD, TVI or CVBS.
Does the Dahua HAC-HDW1500CLQP-IL-A send sound over the same cable?
Yes, the Dahua HAC-HDW1500CLQP-IL-A has a built-in microphone, and the audio travels on the coaxial cable alongside the video. No separate audio wire or extra microphone is needed. Sound is carried in HDCVI and TVI output modes, so keep the camera on one of those. It records only; there is no speaker, so you cannot talk back through it. For talk-back at a gate, look at the Dahua HAC-HFW1200RLP-IL-T or Dahua HAC-HDW1200TRQP-IL-T, both at KSh 2,800.
Who will get the most from the Dahua HAC-HDW1500CLQP-IL-A, and who should pick another camera?
The Dahua HAC-HDW1500CLQP-IL-A suits shops, clinics, offices and homes that need faces and colour detail across a wide room. It is a strong choice for counters, reception desks and front doors. Skip it if your recorder is 1080N and you have no plan to upgrade; the Dahua HAC-HDW1200CLQP-IL-A at KSh 2,600 makes more sense then. Skip it too for long perimeter walls, where the Dahua HAC-HFW1249X-IL-A-PRO bullet reaches further. Buyers who need to speak to visitors should choose a two-way talk model instead.
Technical Specifications
Sensor and Image Quality
- 5MP CMOS sensor with 2880 x 1620 resolution — enough detail to zoom in on a face or a banknote on a counter.
- HDCVI output at 5MP up to 25fps — smooth motion that tracks a person walking across a shop floor.
- Colour down to 0.01 lux at F1.6 and black and white to 0.001 lux — usable images in a room lit only by a phone screen or a distant street lamp.
- DWDR, BLC and HLC — balance a bright doorway against a dark room so faces at the entrance stay readable.
- 3D noise reduction — cleans grain from night footage and keeps file sizes down on the recorder.
Lens and Field of View
- 2.8mm fixed-focal lens on an M12 mount — no zoom to adjust, so an installer just mounts, aims and tightens the base.
- 113.3 degrees horizontal field of view — covers most of a room's width from a single corner.
- 62.1 degrees vertical and 134.3 degrees diagonal — catches people from head to floor near the camera.
- Eyeball shape that tilts and rotates on its base — aim it after mounting without moving the screws.
- Fits ceilings or walls — use a wall at head height for faces at a door, and the ceiling for an overview of a shop floor.
Night Vision and Illumination
- Infrared and warm-light illuminators, each reaching 30m — covers a large room, yard or parking area after dark.
- Default mode switches to colour only when a person or vehicle appears — discreet most of the night, colour when it counts.
- Warm-light mode keeps full colour all night — clothing and car colours recorded for evidence.
- IR mode keeps black and white footage without visible light — the best fit for bedrooms and quiet estates.
- 0 lux with the illuminator on — records in a room with every light switched off.
Audio and Signal Output
- Built-in microphone — records voices and sound alongside video without extra wiring.
- Audio sent over coax in HDCVI and TVI modes — one cable carries both picture and sound to the recorder.
- DIP switch selects CVI, TVI, AHD or CVBS — works with Dahua recorders and most other analogue brands.
- Single BNC video connector — fits the standard coaxial cable already run through many older Kenyan offices, shops and flats.
- AHD and TVI modes run at 4MP — still sharper than 1080p on a recorder from another maker.
Build Power and Weatherproofing
- IP67 rating — sealed against dust and heavy rain, so it works under an outdoor eave or a covered veranda as well as indoors.
- Operating range of -40°C to +60°C — handles a hot roof space or cold highland nights.
- 12V DC power at up to 4.3W with the white light on — a small UPS keeps it running through outages.
- Plastic housing measuring 97.4 mm across and 92.9 mm tall — compact enough for low ceilings.
- Net weight of 0.22 kg — light enough for plasterboard ceilings with the right anchors.
