The Dahua H3A 3MP Indoor Wi-Fi Pan-Tilt Network Camera is now available at Mascom International for KSh 4,200, in stock at our Nairobi CBD store inside Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street. This indoor camera shoots 3MP video at 2304×1296 resolution, rotates 0° to 355° side to side, and tilts -5° to 80° up and down for full-room coverage from a single mounting point. It connects over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, stores footage on a microSD card up to 256GB, and sends alerts straight to your phone through the free Dahua mobile app.
The Dahua H3A suits shopkeepers watching tills in Nairobi CBD, Eastleigh, and Gikomba, landlords monitoring rental compounds, and parents keeping an eye on children or house help during work hours. Its human detection and pet detection cut down the false alarms that plague basic motion cameras, so you stop getting pinged every time a curtain moves or a fly crosses the lens. The camera tracks people automatically as they walk across a room, and its two-way audio lets you speak to whoever is on the other end through your phone.
At Mascom International, we're seeing strong demand for affordable indoor cameras that pair with home Wi-Fi without monthly subscription fees. The Dahua H3A records to a local microSD card you own, so there are no recurring cloud charges eating into your budget. Buyers across Kenya tell us this camera installs in under ten minutes and runs on a standard 5V phone-style adapter. Visit Mascom International to test the Dahua H3A in person, or order today for pay-on-arrival delivery to your county.
Common Questions About the Dahua H3A Network Camera
What does the Dahua H3A actually do for a small shop or home?
The Dahua H3A watches a full room from one corner, capturing 3MP footage at 2304×1296 resolution day and night. It pans 355° and tilts up to 80°, so one unit covers a shop floor, counter, and doorway without blind spots. Human detection flags people while ignoring pets and passing shadows, and the camera follows a person automatically as they move. Two-way audio means you can warn off an intruder or talk to staff. Footage saves to a local microSD card, viewable live on your phone through the Dahua app.
How clear is the video, and can it record at night?
Video records at 3MP (2304×1296) using H.265 compression, which keeps file sizes small so a 256GB card holds weeks of footage. The 1/3.2-inch CMOS sensor pulls usable detail in low light. A built-in infrared LED switches on automatically in darkness, giving black-and-white night vision up to 15 metres. When room light is adequate, the camera shoots in full colour, then switches to night mode on its own as lighting drops at dusk.
Do I need a monthly subscription to use this camera?
No. The Dahua H3A records to a microSD card you buy once, with no compulsory cloud fee. Slot in a card up to 256GB and the camera stores motion clips or continuous footage locally. You watch live and recorded video through the free Dahua app on your phone over Wi-Fi, whether you are at the shop, at home, or upcountry. This local-storage approach saves Kenyan buyers the recurring data and subscription costs that come with many imported camera brands.
Will it work with my home Wi-Fi and Safaricom router?
Yes. The Dahua H3A connects to any 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network, including Safaricom Home Fibre, Faiba, Zuku, and standard mobile hotspot routers. You scan a QR code in the Dahua app during setup, enter your Wi-Fi password, and the camera joins your network. Because it uses the common 2.4GHz band, it reaches further through walls than 5GHz-only devices. Keep the camera within solid signal range of your router for steady live viewing and reliable phone alerts.
How does the human and pet detection reduce false alarms?
The camera runs detection algorithms that tell people and pets apart from general movement like swaying curtains, insects, or light changes. Instead of buzzing your phone at every flicker, it alerts you when an actual person enters the frame. You can set detection zones in the app to watch only a doorway or till area. This matters for Kenyan shopkeepers and homeowners who would otherwise switch off notifications entirely after dozens of pointless alerts each day.
Can I talk through the camera and hear what is happening?
Yes. The Dahua H3A carries a built-in microphone and speaker for two-way talk through the Dahua app. You hear room audio live and speak back from your phone, useful for telling a delivery person where to leave a parcel, checking on house help, or warning an intruder that they are being recorded. Sound detection also alerts you to abnormal noises such as a baby crying or glass breaking, adding an extra layer beyond visual monitoring.
Is the Dahua H3A worth KSh 4,200 compared to other indoor cameras?
For KSh 4,200, the Dahua H3A delivers 3MP video, full pan-and-tilt coverage, human detection, two-way audio, and local recording with no subscription. Many competing indoor cameras at this price lock storage behind monthly cloud fees or skip pan-tilt motion entirely. Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya, Mascom International lets you pay on arrival, so you inspect the camera before any money changes hands. Buyers across Nairobi report the build and app reliability hold up well for everyday home and shop use.
What is the privacy mode, and how do I stop the camera watching me?
The Dahua H3A includes a one-click privacy mode in the app that physically rotates the lens away from the room. When you are home and want privacy, you tap once and the camera stops viewing your space until you switch it back. This is handy for households that want monitoring while away but no recording when family is present. The feature works through the same Dahua app you use for live viewing, with no extra hardware needed.
How do I install it, and what does it run on?
Installation takes under ten minutes. The Dahua H3A sits on a flat surface like a shelf or counter, or mounts to a wall or ceiling with the included bracket and screws. It powers from a 5V adapter through a cable, similar to charging a phone, so you plug it into any nearby socket. After powering on, you add it in the Dahua app, connect it to your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, and insert a microSD card for recording. No professional installer or wiring contractor is required.

- Preset patrol cycles the camera between saved positions so one unit checks several zones in rotation
Detection and Alerts
