Dahua NVR1104HS-P-S3/H (V2.0) is now available at Mascom International for KSh 10,000, a 4-channel network video recorder with four built-in PoE ports, H.265+ and H.264+ compression, simultaneous HDMI and VGA output at 1080p, and a single SATA bay supporting one hard drive up to 8TB. Stocked at our Nairobi CBD store inside Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, this recorder runs the 4.0 user interface and handles four cameras at 1080p and 30 frames per second. The Dahua NVR1104HS-P-S3/H records, stores, and streams footage from a compact 1U metal chassis that fits on a shelf or inside a small rack.
This recorder suits small shops, salons, pharmacies, residential gates, clinics, and SACCO offices across Kenya that need four cameras watched in one place. The four PoE ports carry both data and power down a single network cable to each camera, so installers skip separate power adapters at every camera point. For a duka in Gikomba, a chemist in Nakuru, or a home in Kasarani, the Dahua NVR1104HS-P-S3/H cuts wiring time and removes the clutter of multiple plugs near each lens. One cable per camera keeps installation tidy and lowers the cost of cable runs.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya who sell recorders without the cameras, drives, or setup guidance to match, Mascom International stocks the Dahua NVR1104HS-P-S3/H alongside compatible Dahua IP cameras and surveillance-rated hard drives. Buyers throughout Kenya tell us they want one shop that supplies the full chain. Visit our Kimathi Street store to see the recorder running on a live display, or order for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of the 47 counties. You inspect the unit and pay only when it reaches you.
Common Questions About the Dahua NVR1104HS-P-S3/H network video recorder
What does the Dahua NVR1104HS-P-S3/H actually do?
The Dahua NVR1104HS-P-S3/H records video from up to four IP cameras and stores it on one internal hard drive. It connects to each camera over a network cable, displays live and recorded footage on a TV or monitor, and lets you view the same feeds on a phone through the DMSS app. The four built-in PoE ports send power to the cameras through the same cable that carries video. This means no separate camera power supplies and a single box managing recording, storage, and playback for a four-camera site.
How do the four PoE ports help with installation?
Each of the four PoE ports delivers both data and electricity to a connected IP camera over one Ethernet cable. An installer runs a single cable from the recorder to each camera position, up to 100 metres away, with no power socket needed at the camera. For a Nairobi shopfront or a gated home in Kitengela, this halves the cabling and removes the risk of a camera going dark when a nearby plug fails. The recorder assigns camera addresses automatically, so cameras come online shortly after you connect them.
Can I watch my cameras from my phone in Kenya?
Yes. The Dahua NVR1104HS-P-S3/H supports P2P remote viewing through the DMSS mobile app on Android and iPhone. After a short setup, you scan a QR code on the recorder and watch all four cameras live over Safaricom, Airtel, or Wi-Fi data from anywhere. You can play back recorded footage, receive motion alerts, and check your shop or home while travelling. The phone link works over mobile data, so a business owner in Mombasa can monitor a branch in Eldoret without being on the same network.
How much footage can the Dahua NVR1104HS-P-S3/H store?
The recorder holds one SATA hard drive up to 8TB. An 8TB surveillance drive stores roughly two to four weeks of continuous footage from four 1080p cameras, depending on motion and frame rate. With H.265+ compression switched on, the same drive holds far more days than older recorders using H.264, because the recorder writes smaller files for the same picture detail. The hard drive is sold separately, and Mascom International stocks surveillance-rated drives sized for your retention needs.
Does this recorder work with cameras from other brands?
The Dahua NVR1104HS-P-S3/H supports ONVIF and RTSP, the common protocols that let recorders and cameras from different makers talk to each other. It works best with Dahua IP cameras, where setup is near-automatic, but it also connects to many third-party ONVIF cameras. For a Kenyan buyer who already owns a mix of cameras, this flexibility avoids replacing working hardware. Our team at Mascom International confirms compatibility before you buy so you avoid cameras that refuse to pair.
Is the Dahua NVR1104HS-P-S3/H worth KSh 10,000 in Kenya's market?
For a four-camera site, yes. At KSh 10,000, the recorder bundles four PoE ports, H.265+ recording, phone viewing, and 8TB storage support into one box, removing the need for a separate PoE switch that would otherwise cost extra. Standalone PoE switches alone often run several thousand shillings, so the built-in ports add real value. Customers across Nairobi report the recorder pays for itself by cutting both hardware and installation costs on small surveillance jobs.
What is the difference between this PoE model and the cheaper non-PoE version?
The Dahua NVR1104HS-P-S3/H carries four PoE ports built in; the plain NVR1104HS-S3/H does not. Without PoE, you must buy a separate PoE switch or run power to each camera by hand, adding cost and cabling. The PoE model powers four cameras directly from the recorder, which is why it suits a clean four-camera install on one box. For most small Kenyan sites with four cameras or fewer, the PoE version is the simpler and cheaper route once the switch saving is counted.
Who should buy the Dahua NVR1104HS-P-S3/H?
Small business owners, landlords, school administrators, clinic managers, and home users who need exactly four cameras watched and recorded in one place. Security installers across Kenya choose it for compact jobs where a four-camera, single-drive recorder with built-in power keeps the bill of materials short. If your site needs more than four cameras, a higher-channel Dahua recorder fits better, and our team helps you size the right model.
Technical specifications
Recording and Compression Capability
- Records four IP camera channels at 1080p resolution and 30 frames per second for clear, fluid footage of entrances and aisles
- H.265+ and H.264+ compression shrink file sizes, so one hard drive stores more days of footage than older recorders
- Incoming recording bandwidth of 80 Mbps handles four full-detail 1080p streams without dropped frames
- Outgoing bandwidth of 60 Mbps supports live viewing and playback on a screen and a phone at the same time
- Self-adaptive decoding adjusts to each camera's stream so mixed camera resolutions play back without manual tuning
- Continuous, scheduled, and motion-triggered recording modes let you save drive space by recording only when movement occurs
Built-in PoE and Camera Power
- Four built-in PoE ports send power and video data to each IP camera over a single network cable
- Each PoE port reaches cameras up to 100 metres away, covering most shop, gate, and compound runs in one pull
- The four ports share a total power budget that suits standard 1080p Dahua cameras drawing modest wattage
- Automatic camera address assignment brings connected Dahua cameras online without manual IP setup
- Single-cable wiring removes separate camera power adapters, cutting both clutter and points of failure
- PoE delivery keeps cameras running through the recorder, so one tidy install replaces scattered plug-in supplies

- Surveillance-rated drives run cooler and longer than desktop drives under the constant writing a recorder demands
- Footage overwrites oldest files first when the drive fills, keeping recent days available without manual deletion
- Mascom International stocks compatible 1TB to 8TB surveillance drives to match your camera count and days kept
Build, Ports, and Power
