DAHUA HAC-HFW1500RLP is a 5MP HDCVI bullet camera with a 3.6mm fixed lens, Smart Dual Light night vision to 30 metres, and a built-in microphone, now available at Mascom International for KSh 3,600. You can buy the DAHUA HAC-HFW1500RLP at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. The camera records up to 2880 x 1620 pixels, switches between CVI, AHD, TVI, and CVBS signals, and carries an IP67 weather rating. It connects to any compatible DVR or XVR over a single coaxial cable, making it a practical wired security choice for Kenyan property owners.

The DAHUA HAC-HFW1500RLP suits homeowners in Nairobi estates, shopkeepers running M-Pesa tills and retail dukas, and small business owners protecting premises in Industrial Area, Eastleigh, and CBD arcades. Many Kenyan buyers struggle with cameras that lose detail at night or fail in heavy rain. This DAHUA HAC-HFW1500RLP solves both problems with a starlight sensor that holds colour in low light and a sealed plastic housing rated for outdoor mounting. It records audio alongside video, giving shop and compound owners an extra layer of evidence when reviewing incidents.

The DAHUA HAC-HFW1500RLP costs KSh 3,600 at Mascom International, well below many imported 5MP cameras of similar quality. Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya, Mascom International confirms PAL signal compatibility, the exact 3.6mm field of view, and DVR pairing before you pay. Users report that the dual-light feature switches cleanly between infrared and warm white light without washing out faces at the gate. Visit our Nairobi CBD store to inspect the DAHUA HAC-HFW1500RLP in person, or order it for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties.

Common Questions About the DAHUA HAC-HFW1500RLP bullet camera

What is the DAHUA HAC-HFW1500RLP and what is it used for?
The DAHUA HAC-HFW1500RLP is a 5MP wired HDCVI bullet camera for outdoor and indoor security. It captures 2880 x 1620 video over a coaxial cable to a connected DVR or XVR recorder. Kenyan homeowners use it at gates, driveways, and compound perimeters. Shop owners mount it over M-Pesa counters, tills, and stock rooms. It belongs to Dahua's Lite Series, built for homes and small to medium businesses that want clear footage at a low cost.

How far can the DAHUA HAC-HFW1500RLP see at night?
The DAHUA HAC-HFW1500RLP sees clearly up to 30 metres in darkness using its Smart Dual Light night vision. Two illuminators combine infrared light and warm white LED light, switching automatically based on the scene. In full darkness with the illuminator on, the camera reaches 0 lux capability, meaning it still produces a usable image. The warm white light triggers when motion is detected, capturing colour footage of faces and clothing instead of plain black-and-white infrared frames.

Does the DAHUA HAC-HFW1500RLP record audio or support two-way talk?
The DAHUA HAC-HFW1500RLP includes a built-in microphone that captures ambient audio alongside video for CVI and TVI recording. This gives you sound as supporting evidence during playback.  Audio transmits over the same coaxial cable as video, so no extra wiring is required.

What DVR or recorder works with the DAHUA HAC-HFW1500RLP?
The DAHUA HAC-HFW1500RLP works with any Dahua HDCVI XVR and most 5MP-capable analog recorders that accept CVI, AHD, TVI, or CVBS signals. You set the output signal using the DIP switch on the camera cable. For the 5MP 16:9 mode and Smart Dual Light features, the XVR firmware must be V4.001 or later. Mascom International stocks compatible Dahua XVR recorders and can confirm your existing DVR supports 5MP before you buy.

Can the DAHUA HAC-HFW1500RLP be used outdoors in Kenyan weather?
Yes, the DAHUA HAC-HFW1500RLP carries an IP67 rating, meaning it is fully dust-tight and survives brief water immersion. It handles Nairobi's long rains, coastal humidity in Mombasa, and dusty conditions upcountry without water entering the housing. The camera operates from -40 to +60 degrees Celsius, far beyond any Kenyan temperature range. Its plastic casing resists corrosion at the basic protection level, making it suitable for gate posts, walls, and exposed eaves.

How clearly can the camera identify faces or number plates?
The DAHUA HAC-HFW1500RLP with the 3.6mm lens detects a person at 77 metres, observes at 30.8 metres, recognises at 15.4 metres, and identifies faces at 7.7 metres. These DORI figures follow the EN-62676-4 standard. For reading number plates or recognising faces clearly, mount the camera within 8 to 15 metres of the target zone. Position it over a gate or till where people pass within this range for usable identification footage during incident reviews.

Does the DAHUA HAC-HFW1500RLP need internet or Wi-Fi to work?
No, the DAHUA HAC-HFW1500RLP is a wired analog HDCVI camera that needs no internet, Wi-Fi, or router. It connects directly to a DVR using coaxial cable, recording footage locally to the recorder's hard drive. This makes it reliable in areas with poor connectivity or frequent network outages across Kenya. You only need internet if you want remote phone viewing through the DVR, which is optional and configured on the recorder rather than the camera.

Is the DAHUA HAC-HFW1500RLP worth KSh 3,600 in Kenya?
At KSh 3,600, the DAHUA HAC-HFW1500RLP offers 5MP resolution, dual-light colour night vision, built-in audio, and IP67 weatherproofing at a price below many lower-resolution cameras. It costs less than wireless cameras while avoiding their recurring data and subscription expenses. For homes, dukas, and offices already running a DVR setup, it adds a sharp, weatherproof channel cheaply. Mascom International prices it transparently with no hidden installation charges, and you inspect it before paying.

What do I need to buy alongside the DAHUA HAC-HFW1500RLP?
The DAHUA HAC-HFW1500RLP needs a 12V DC power supply, coaxial cable with BNC connectors, and a compatible DVR or XVR to record footage. The retail box does not include a power adapter or cable. Mascom International stocks Dahua 12V power adapters, coaxial cable, BNC connectors, and matching XVR recorders, so you can buy a complete kit in one visit. Our team advises on cable length, power distribution, and recorder channel count based on how many cameras you plan to install.
