The Dahua F4C-LED 4MP Wi-Fi Bullet Network Camera is now available at Mascom International for KSh 6,500, ready to monitor your property over your existing home or office Wi-Fi. It captures 2560x1440 footage through a 1/3-inch CMOS sensor and a 2.8mm fixed lens that covers a 98-degree horizontal view. The Dahua F4C-LED records to a microSD card of up to 256GB and sends live video straight to your phone. You can collect it today from Mascom International at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for countrywide delivery.
The Dahua F4C-LED suits homeowners watching gates and driveways, shop owners guarding tills and stockrooms, landlords covering apartment entrances, and small business managers monitoring offices after hours. Many Kenyan properties still rely on a guard plus a padlock, which leaves no record once an incident happens. This camera solves that gap by storing video locally and streaming it to your phone whether you are at work in Westlands, upcountry for the weekend, or asleep at home. The Dahua F4C-LED works on standard 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, so no cabling runs through your walls.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya, Mascom International lets you inspect and test the Dahua F4C-LED before you pay a single shilling on delivery. Users consistently report clean colour footage at night thanks to the built-in warm light, and quick setup through the free DMSS app within minutes. At Mascom International, we are seeing strong demand from Nairobi shop owners and residential estates fitting several units across a single compound. Visit our Kimathi Street showroom to see the Dahua F4C-LED running live, or call us to arrange pay-on-arrival delivery to your county.
Common Questions About the Dahua F4C-LED Network Camera
What does the Dahua F4C-LED actually record and how clear is the footage?
The Dahua F4C-LED records 4-megapixel video at 2560x1440 resolution, sharp enough to read a number plate or recognise a face at the gate. Its 1/3-inch CMOS sensor captures up to 25 or 30 frames per second on the main stream for smooth motion. A lower-resolution 640x480 sub-stream lets you watch live on mobile data without burning through your Safaricom or Airtel bundle. The footage stays detailed enough to identify who entered a shop, picked up a parcel, or approached a parked car after dark.
How does the Dahua F4C-LED see at night in colour?
The Dahua F4C-LED uses two built-in warm light LEDs that switch on automatically in darkness, lighting scenes up to 30 metres away in full colour. Most budget cameras drop to grainy black-and-white infrared at night, hiding clothing colours and skin tones that matter when identifying an intruder. This camera keeps colour detail, so a red jacket or blue matatu stays recognisable in your recordings. The warm light also acts as a mild deterrent, since approaching figures notice the property is actively lit and watched.
Will the Dahua F4C-LED survive Kenyan rain and dust outdoors?
Yes. The Dahua F4C-LED carries an IP67 rating, meaning the housing is sealed against dust and protected from heavy rain and temporary water immersion. That makes it suitable for exposed gates, perimeter walls, shopfronts, and verandas across coastal humidity in Mombasa or dusty conditions in Nairobi and upcountry towns. The bullet-shaped metal body shrugs off the long rains and harsh midday sun. You can mount it under an eave or fully exposed on a wall without worrying about moisture damaging the electronics inside.
How does the Dahua F4C-LED reduce false alarms from cats and trees?
The Dahua F4C-LED includes on-device human detection that tells people apart from swaying branches, passing cars, and roaming animals. Instead of pinging your phone every time a leaf moves, it sends an alert only when a person enters the frame. This cuts the constant false notifications that make many cheap cameras annoying enough to switch off. For a Kenyan home with a busy compound or a shop on a pavement, the filtering keeps alerts meaningful so you act on the ones that count.
Do I need cabling or an NVR to use the Dahua F4C-LED?
No. The Dahua F4C-LED connects over your existing 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and records directly onto a microSD card of up to 256GB, so a wired recorder is optional rather than required. You only need to run a power cable to a nearby 12V supply, which avoids drilling long network channels through your house. This keeps installation cheap and fast for tenants, small shops, and homeowners who want coverage without hiring a full cabling crew. Footage stays on the card and streams live to the DMSS app.
How much can a 256GB microSD card hold on the Dahua F4C-LED?
A 256GB card stores roughly one to two weeks of continuous H.265 footage on the Dahua F4C-LED, and far longer if you record only when motion is detected. The camera uses H.265 compression, which packs more recording time into the same card than older formats. Setting it to capture clips only when a person appears can stretch storage to a month or more. This means you can review what happened while you were away upcountry without paying for any cloud subscription.
Can I watch the Dahua F4C-LED from my phone while away?
Yes. The Dahua F4C-LED links to the free DMSS app on Android and iPhone, letting you view live video and recorded clips from anywhere with internet. Whether you are at the office in Upper Hill, travelling to Kisumu, or relaxing at home, you open the app and check your gate, shop, or parking instantly. The built-in microphone also captures audio alongside the video, adding context to events. Push notifications land on your phone the moment human motion triggers the camera outside.
Why buy the Dahua F4C-LED from Mascom International instead of an online stranger?
Buying the Dahua F4C-LED from Mascom International means you pay only when the camera reaches you and you have checked the sealed box. Many Kenyan buyers lose money to online sellers who take mobile money upfront and vanish. Mascom International removes that risk with pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties and a physical Nairobi CBD store you can walk into. Our team also helps you pair the camera with the DMSS app and choose the right microSD card, so you leave with a working setup.
Technical Specification
Image Sensor and Resolution
- 1/3-inch CMOS sensor captures 4-megapixel stills and video for clear identification of faces and number plates at the gate
- Top 2560x1440 main-stream resolution records fine detail useful for evidence in theft or trespass cases
- Main stream runs at up to 25 or 30 frames per second, keeping fast movement like running figures smooth
- Selectable resolutions include 4MP, 3MP, 1080p, 1.3MP, and 720p to balance clarity against storage space
- •128MB RAM and 16MB ROM handle the camera processing without lag during live viewing on the app
- Digital wide dynamic range balances bright sky and dark shade so backlit gates stay readable in daytime
Lens and Field of View
- 2.8mm fixed lens covers a 98-degree horizontal, 55-degree vertical, and 115-degree diagonal view of the scene
- A 3.6mm lens option narrows the view to 78 degrees horizontal for longer driveways and perimeter walls
- Fixed focal length means no manual zoom, keeping the camera simple to aim and set once on the wall
- F1.6 wide aperture lets more light hit the sensor for brighter low-light footage before the LEDs engage
- Wide 98-degree coverage suits a single shopfront, compound corner, or apartment entrance from one mounting point
- M12 lens mount and compact bullet body fit standard wall and eave brackets used across Kenyan installations
Night Vision and Illumination
- Two warm light LEDs switch on automatically in darkness, lighting subjects up to 30 metres away in full colour
- Colour night footage keeps clothing and vehicle colours visible, unlike grainy black-and-white infrared on cheaper cameras
- Automatic illuminator control adjusts the warm light by ambient brightness, saving power during dusk and dawn
- •Peak power draw stays near 5.4 watts even with the warm light active, easy on a small 12V supply
- The lit housing doubles as a mild deterrent, signalling to approaching people that the area is watched
- Low-luminance performance from the CMOS sensor keeps faint detail visible in shaded corners after sunset
Video Compression and Recording
- H.265 compression cuts file sizes so a 256GB card holds far more footage than older H.264 cameras
- H.265+ and H.264+ coding adapt the bit rate to the scene, saving storage when little is happening
- Supports H.264B, H.264, H.264H, and H.265 formats for compatibility with most recorders and viewing apps
- Records directly to a microSD card of up to 256GB, with cloud, NVR, and NAS storage also supported
- Bit rate ranges from 12 to 4096 kbps on H.265, letting you trade detail against recording length
- 3D noise reduction cleans up grainy low-light frames, keeping night clips clearer and smaller in size
Detection and Recording Alerts
- On-device human detection separates people from animals, branches, and passing cars to cut false alerts
- Push notifications reach your phone the moment a person enters the frame, day or night
- Abnormality alerts cover motion detection, video tampering, audio disconnection, IP conflict, and illegal access attempts
- Digital watermarking marks recorded footage to confirm clips have not been altered after capture
- Built-in microphone records audio alongside video, adding spoken context to events at the gate or counter
- Highlight and backlight compensation keep faces visible against headlights, the sun, or a bright doorway
