Condition: New

DAHUA IPC-HFW2849TL-S-PRO is an 8-megapixel WizColor bullet network camera with a 3.6mm fixed lens, now available at Mascom International, Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, for KSh 12,500. The camera records 4K Ultra HD video at 3840 x 2160 resolution and keeps full color at night down to 0.0008 lux. Footage saves locally to a MicroSD card holding up to 256GB. One Power-over-Ethernet cable carries both data and power, and the IP67 housing handles rain and dust. The DAHUA IPC-HFW2849TL-S-PRO ships ready to mount outdoors at homes, shops, and business premises.
The DAHUA IPC-HFW2849TL-S-PRO fits homeowners in estates like Kileleshwa and Syokimau, shopkeepers along River Road and Eastleigh, and office managers in Westlands and Upper Hill. Many Kenyan property owners run cameras that turn grainy or black once security lights switch off. This camera solves that. Its WizColor sensor records faces and number plates in real color through the night using nearby street lamps or a built-in warm light. The 8-megapixel resolution captures enough detail to read a matatu plate or recognise a face at your gate, which matters when reviewing footage after a break-in or staff dispute.
The DAHUA IPC-HFW2849TL-S-PRO separates real threats from false alarms using on-board AI that tells people and vehicles apart from moving branches, cats, or rain. Unlike basic CCTV cameras sold along Luthuli Avenue, it only alerts you when a person or car crosses your boundary, cutting wasted notifications. Installers across Nairobi report fewer callbacks because the camera holds its color image after dark without extra floodlights. Visit Mascom International to see live night footage before you buy, or order for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties.
Common Questions About the DAHUA IPC-HFW2849TL-S-PRO bullet network camera
How clear is the DAHUA IPC-HFW2849TL-S-PRO at night?
The DAHUA IPC-HFW2849TL-S-PRO records full-color video at night, not black-and-white, down to 0.0008 lux of light. Its 1/1.8-inch sensor and F1.0 aperture pull in faint light from street lamps, shop signs, or moonlight. When an area is fully dark, a built-in warm light switches on and lights subjects up to 50 metres away. This lets you identify clothing colors, car paint, and faces that standard infrared cameras only show in grey.
What area does the 3.6mm lens cover?
The 3.6mm fixed lens gives a roughly 87-degree horizontal view, narrower and longer-reaching than a 2.8mm lens. This suits a driveway, a shop aisle, a corridor, or a gate approach where you want detail at distance over a wide spread. At 8 megapixels, the picture stays sharp enough to zoom into faces or plates within the frame after recording.
Does the DAHUA IPC-HFW2849TL-S-PRO detect people and vehicles?
Yes, the DAHUA IPC-HFW2849TL-S-PRO uses Dahua SMD Plus and Perimeter Protection to classify humans and vehicles separately. It draws a tripwire or zone on your property, then alerts you only when a person or car crosses it. Animals, swaying trees, and falling rain no longer trigger alarms, so you check fewer false notifications. This AI runs inside the camera itself, needing no cloud subscription or monthly fee to work.
How does this camera connect and get power?
The DAHUA IPC-HFW2849TL-S-PRO runs on Power-over-Ethernet, so one network cable carries video and electricity together. This removes the need for a separate power socket near the mounting point, common for rooftop or gate installs. It also accepts a 12-volt DC adapter if you prefer. The camera links to a Dahua NVR, the DMSS phone app, or any ONVIF recorder, letting you watch live and recorded footage from your phone anywhere with internet.
Can I record without an NVR or internet?
Yes, the DAHUA IPC-HFW2849TL-S-PRO records straight to a MicroSD card of up to 256GB fitted inside the camera. This keeps footage on-site even during a Safaricom or Zuku internet outage. A 256GB card holds several days of continuous 4K recording, longer if you record only on motion events. You can still view live video on your phone over the network, and the camera keeps writing to the card whether or not the connection drops.
Is the DAHUA IPC-HFW2849TL-S-PRO built for outdoor use?
Yes, the DAHUA IPC-HFW2849TL-S-PRO carries an IP67 rating, meaning it resists dust fully and withstands heavy rain. This handles Nairobi's wet seasons, coastal humidity in Mombasa, and dusty conditions upcountry. The metal-and-plastic housing mounts on a wall or eave and tilts to your chosen angle. Dahua recommends fitting it 3.5 to 4 metres high, angled 15 to 20 degrees down, facing your gate or entrance for the widest useful coverage.
What recording quality and storage savings does it offer?
The DAHUA IPC-HFW2849TL-S-PRO records 4K Ultra HD at 3840 x 2160 pixels and up to 25 or 30 frames per second for smooth motion. It uses H.265+ compression, which cuts file sizes by around half against older H.264 without losing clarity. Smaller files mean your MicroSD card or NVR drive stores far more days of footage. A 120dB Wide Dynamic Range setting balances bright and dark areas, so a sunlit gate and a shaded doorway both stay visible.
Why buy the DAHUA IPC-HFW2849TL-S-PRO over a cheaper CCTV camera?
The DAHUA IPC-HFW2849TL-S-PRO gives true color night vision, 8-megapixel detail, and on-board people and vehicle detection at KSh 12,500. Cheaper analog cameras sold elsewhere in Nairobi record grey night footage at lower resolution and flood you with false alerts. This camera connects over standard network cabling, scales to multi-camera setups, and needs no monthly cloud fee. Buyers across Kenya choose it for reliable evidence-grade footage that holds up when you actually need to identify someone.
