Condition: New




Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice



The Dahua DH-IPC-WL46A is a 4MP fixed-focal floodlight network camera with 2560x1440 resolution, dual floodlights rated up to 2400 lumens, and a built-in 110dB siren, now available at Mascom International for KSh 18,500. It records at 25 or 30 frames per second through a 1/3-inch CMOS sensor and stays connected over dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi. You will find the Dahua DH-IPC-WL46A in stock at our Nairobi CBD store, Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street. The camera ships brand new and sealed, ready for same-day pickup or countrywide delivery.

The Dahua DH-IPC-WL46A is built for Kenyan homeowners, small retail owners, and landlords who want a single device that watches the compound and floods it with light. It solves a common security gap: ordinary cameras see intruders in the dark but cannot scare them off. This camera spots a person at the gate, switches on its floodlights, and can sound a 110dB siren loud enough to wake the household and alert neighbours. Shop owners in Nairobi CBD, Eastleigh, and Gikomba use it to cover entrances after closing hours without paying for a separate security light.

Unlike traditional electronics retailers in Kenya that sell cameras without setup guidance, Mascom International stocks the Dahua DH-IPC-WL46A with honest specifications and direct after-sales support from our Nairobi CBD service desk. The camera connects to your home WiFi in minutes through a phone app, so you watch live footage from anywhere with data. Customers across Nairobi report that the motion-triggered floodlight alone cuts down break-in attempts at gates and back entrances. Visit our store to test the camera, or order today for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties.

Common Questions About the Dahua DH-IPC-WL46A network camera

What makes the Dahua DH-IPC-WL46A different from a normal CCTV camera?
The Dahua DH-IPC-WL46A combines three security tools in one unit: a 4MP camera, dual floodlights, and a 110dB siren. Most cameras only record. This one reacts. When its PIR sensor detects motion within 10 metres across a 270-degree zone, the floodlights switch on automatically and footage stays in colour instead of grainy black and white. The siren can be triggered to frighten off anyone loitering near your gate. For homes in Kileleshwa, Ruaka, or Kitengela, that means the camera deters trouble rather than just recording it after the damage is done.

How clear is the video from the Dahua DH-IPC-WL46A?
The Dahua DH-IPC-WL46A records at 4MP, which is 2560x1440 pixels, at 25 or 30 frames per second. That resolution is sharp enough to read a number plate or recognise a face at close range. Its DORI rating lists detection up to 61.2 metres and recognition up to 12.2 metres. The H.265 video codec keeps file sizes small, so a 256GB memory card holds far more footage than older formats allowed. For a typical Nairobi compound gate, the 2.8mm lens covers a 98-degree horizontal view, capturing the full driveway in one frame.

Does the Dahua DH-IPC-WL46A work in total darkness?
Yes. The Dahua DH-IPC-WL46A sees in zero-light conditions using its infrared illuminator, which reaches 10 metres in black and white. When motion triggers the dual floodlights, the scene lights up to 30 metres and footage switches to full colour. The floodlights output between 1500 and 2400 lumens and let you pick warm 3000K or cool 6000K light. During Kenya's frequent night power cuts, the camera keeps recording as long as it has backup mains or an inverter feeding its 100-240V supply.

Can the Dahua DH-IPC-WL46A tell the difference between a person and a stray dog?
The Dahua DH-IPC-WL46A uses on-camera detection to separate humans, vehicles, and animals. This matters in Kenyan compounds where stray cats, dogs, and tree branches swaying at night trigger constant false alerts on cheaper cameras. By filtering out animals, the camera only pings your phone and lights the yard when a person or car appears. Fewer false alarms mean you actually check the notifications that matter. Shop owners along Tom Mboya Street rely on this filtering to avoid waking up to dozens of pointless alerts every night.

How does the Dahua DH-IPC-WL46A connect, and do I need cabling?
The Dahua DH-IPC-WL46A connects over dual-band WiFi, supporting both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks on the 802.11a/b/g/n/ac standard. You skip the long network cable runs that wired cameras demand, which keeps installation cheap and quick. It works on home routers fed by Safaricom Home Fibre, Faiba, or Zuku. The only wiring you need is the 100-240V mains line for power. For landlords fitting cameras across rental units, the wireless setup avoids drilling through walls and trenching cable across the plot.

Where is footage stored on the Dahua DH-IPC-WL46A?
The Dahua DH-IPC-WL46A stores recordings on a microSD card up to 256GB or sends them to a network video recorder. A 256GB card holds several days of motion-triggered clips thanks to the efficient H.265 codec. You buy the card separately and slot it into the camera during setup. For shops needing longer retention, the camera links to a Dahua NVR so all footage sits in one searchable place. This local storage means your video stays on your property, not tied to a monthly cloud fee.

Can I talk through the Dahua DH-IPC-WL46A?
Yes. The Dahua DH-IPC-WL46A has a built-in microphone and speaker, so you hear and speak through the camera using your phone app. A landlord in Nairobi can tell a delivery rider where to leave a parcel, or warn off someone lingering at the gate, without being home. The two-way audio pairs with the 110dB siren for layered response: speak first, sound the alarm if needed. For families with house help or children arriving from school, the feature doubles as a quick way to check in from work.

Is the Dahua DH-IPC-WL46A worth KSh 18,500 in Kenya's market?
At KSh 18,500, the Dahua DH-IPC-WL46A replaces three separate purchases: a security camera, a motion floodlight, and an alarm. Buying those individually in Nairobi often costs more once you add fitting. The camera comes from Dahua, a brand widely serviced across Kenya, so spare parts and technician support are easy to find. Mascom International backs it with a 12-month warranty and pay-on-arrival delivery. For homeowners weighing security spend, one device handling detection, lighting, and deterrence makes the price reasonable.

Technical Specifications

Image Sensor and Resolution
  • 1/3-inch CMOS sensor captures clear footage in low light around gates, driveways, and shop fronts
  • Native 4MP resolution at 2560x1440 pixels records enough detail to recognise faces at close range
  • Frame rate of 25 or 30 frames per second keeps moving subjects smooth without blur or stutter
  • Minimum illumination of 0.005 lux in colour mode lets the camera see in near-dark conditions
  • Electronic shutter ranges from 1/3 second to 1/100,000 second to handle bright and dim scenes alike
  • H.265 video codec shrinks file sizes, so storage lasts longer on the same memory card or recorder
  • Day and night switching gives colour footage by day and clear black-and-white images after dark
Lens and Field of View
  • Fixed 2.8mm lens on an M12 mount fixes the view so you set the angle once during installation
  • Horizontal field of view spans 98 degrees, wide enough to cover a full compound gate and driveway
  • Vertical coverage of 55 degrees captures both the ground and approaching faces at the entrance
  • Diagonal field of view reaches 115 degrees for broad scene coverage from a single mounting point
  • Close focus distance of 1 metre keeps subjects sharp even when they stand right at the lens
  • Aperture of F1.6 lets in plenty of light, helping the sensor perform after sunset along dim plots
Floodlight and Night Illumination
  • Dual floodlights output 1500 to 2400 lumens, bright enough to light a typical Kenyan compound yard
  • Floodlight reach extends to 30 metres, covering driveways and back gates that infrared alone misses
  • Color temperature switches between warm 3000K and cool 6000K to suit the look you prefer
  • Four floodlight modes cover motion activation, manual control, scheduling, and PIR-triggered lighting
  • Infrared illuminator reaches 10 metres for discreet recording when you do not want the lights on
  • Floodlights tilt 90 degrees and rotate up to 145 degrees so you aim light exactly where you need it
Detection and Alarm Features
  • On-camera detection separates humans, vehicles, and animals to cut down false alerts from stray pets
  • PIR sensor detects motion up to 10 metres across a wide 270-degree zone around the mounting point
  • Built-in 110dB siren sounds loud enough to alert the household and warn off anyone near the gate
  • Motion activation triggers floodlights and recording the moment a person or car enters the frame
  • Two-way audio through the built-in microphone and speaker lets you speak to visitors from your phone
  • Real-time push alerts reach your phone instantly so you respond to events as they happen
Connectivity and Storage

  • 128MB ROM and 512MB RAM keep the camera responsive when streaming and running detection
  • Outdoor-ready housing suits gates, walls, and shop fronts exposed to sun, dust, and rain
  • Camera head pans 85 degrees each way and tilts across a wide range for precise aiming on setup
  • Fixed-focal design means fewer moving parts to fail compared with motorised zoom cameras
  • Entry-series build keeps the price low while covering homes, small shops, and rental compounds
