The Dahua DHI-ART-ARC3000H-03-W2 suits homeowners in estates like Kileleshwa, Syokimau, and Kitengela, plus shopkeepers running hardware stores, pharmacies, and M-Pesa agencies who need an affordable alarm without a monthly monitoring contract. Many Kenyan households still rely on dogs, grilles, and a watchman who sleeps through the night. This Dahua kit fills the gap by sending a phone alert the moment a door opens or motion is sensed in a protected room, so you respond before a break-in turns into a loss.

Unlike alarm setups that demand drilling, cabling, and an electrician's visit, the Dahua DHI-ART-ARC3000H-03-W2 mounts with screws or adhesive pads in under an hour. Buyers across Kenya rely on Mascom International for honest specifications and pay-on-arrival delivery, so you inspect the sealed Dahua box before any money changes hands. Walk into our Nairobi CBD store to test the keyfob and hear the hub siren before you commit.

The kit ships with four working parts: one ARC3000H hub, one ARD1233 PIR motion detector, one ARD323 magnetic door contact, and one ARA24 four-button keyfob. The hub acts as the brain, the PIR watches an open room, the door contact guards an entry point, and the keyfob arms or disarms the system from your pocket. Detector batteries come pre-fitted, so the kit pairs and runs within minutes of unboxing. You add more sensors later as your protection needs grow across the property.

The hub raises its built-in siren and pushes a notification to the Dahua app the instant a sensor trips. It also places a phone call and sends an SMS to as many as five saved numbers, so you hear about an intrusion even when the app is closed. The four-button keyfob carries a dedicated SOS button for medical or panic emergencies. Video linkage lets the app pull live footage from a paired Dahua camera, turning a simple alert into a confirmed view of who is inside.

No. This W2 version connects through your home or shop Wi-Fi network on the 2.4GHz band, or through a wired Ethernet cable into your router. There is no SIM slot and no compulsory monitoring subscription, which keeps running costs at zero beyond your normal internet. You control everything from the free Dahua app on your phone. Households on Safaricom Home Fibre, Zuku, or Faiba routers pair the hub directly, while shops with a basic MiFi router connect the same way over Wi-Fi.

The ARC3000H hub manages up to 150 wireless peripherals in total, including a ceiling of 6 sirens and 64 keyfobs. That headroom means one hub can grow from this starter kit into full coverage for a four-bedroom maisonette or a multi-room business. You add extra PIR detectors for the sitting room and store, door contacts for the back gate and stock room, and outdoor sirens that scare off intruders. The hub screen reports each peripheral's signal strength, battery level, and temperature.

The ARD1233 PIR detector covers a detection range of roughly 12 metres across an open room. Its dual-element low-noise sensor is built to ignore household pets up to a set weight, cutting down on false alarms triggered by a cat or small dog. The detector reads room temperature from -15°C to +65°C, comfortably covering both cool Limuru nights and warm Mombasa afternoons. Mount it in a corner facing the main entry path for the widest sweep, away from direct sunlight and air vents.

The system uses two-way communication between the hub and each sensor, with frequency hopping that shifts the radio channel to keep the link stable against interference. All wireless traffic carries AES128 encryption, the same standard used in banking apps, so signals cannot be read or copied. A tamper alarm fires if anyone tries to pry a sensor off the wall. The hub also flags low batteries early, giving you days of warning before a detector goes silent.

The hub carries a built-in lithium backup battery that keeps the alarm armed when KPLC power fails, a common reality across Kenyan estates. If your internet drops, the hub's offline caching feature (ANR) stores up to 50 alarm events offline and uploads them once the connection returns, so no incident is lost. Configured settings survive a full power failure without resetting. This backup design means the Dahua kit keeps guarding your home through the load-shedding and fibre outages that catch other alarms offline.

This kit fits homeowners protecting a single house, landlords securing rental units, and small business owners guarding shops, salons, and office suites. It rewards anyone who wants real-time phone alerts without paying a security firm every month. Families travelling upcountry for the holidays arm the system remotely and check the app from anywhere. Shopkeepers in Nairobi CBD, Gikomba, and Eastleigh use it to catch after-hours entry. The low KSh 18,500 entry price puts dependable intrusion detection within reach of ordinary Kenyan budgets.

The Dahua DHI-ART-ARC3000H-03-W2 ships with a 12-month warranty through Mascom International, covering manufacturing defects on the hub, detectors, and keyfob under normal use.
