Dahua HAC-D1A21P-U-IL | 2MP HDCVI Dome | 20m Dual Light | 2.8mm Lens | 4-in-1 Video Output
An indoor ceiling camera that switches to colour footage the moment someone walks in after dark.
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
The Dahua HAC-D1A21P-U-IL is a 2MP HDCVI dome camera with a 2.8mm fixed lens and Dual Light night vision rated to 20m, available at Mascom International for KSh 2,450. Every unit we sell is brand new and sealed in Dahua's retail box. It records full HD 1920 x 1080 video at 25 frames per second and sends that picture down a single coaxial cable to a Dahua or compatible hybrid DVR. You can collect the Dahua HAC-D1A21P-U-IL from our shop at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for pay-on-arrival delivery.
Designed for shop owners, clinic managers, SACCO offices and families, the Dahua HAC-D1A21P-U-IL watches a whole room from the ceiling. The usual problem with low-cost indoor cameras is grey, grainy footage at night, where a face turns into a smudge. This dome runs on discreet infrared by default, then switches on warm white light when a linked Dahua WizSense recorder spots a person, so the Dahua HAC-D1A21P-U-IL captures anyone entering in colour. Shopkeepers in Nairobi CBD mount it above tills and stock shelves, while homeowners in Kilimani fit it in hallways and sitting rooms that need one wide view.
Unlike many electronics stalls in Nairobi that sell unbranded domes with no paperwork, Mascom International stocks genuine Dahua hardware with a written 12-month warranty and staff who can match each camera to a recorder. The Dahua HAC-D1A21P-U-IL costs KSh 150 less than the HAC-HDW1200CLQP-IL-A eyeball, which makes it a sensible pick when you are fitting several rooms at once. Customers across Nairobi tell us the colour night clips are far easier to review than old black-and-white footage. Walk into our Kimathi Street shop to handle one before you buy, or message us on WhatsApp to order.
Common Questions About the Dahua HAC-D1A21P-U-IL
How much is the Dahua HAC-D1A21P-U-IL in Kenya?
The Dahua HAC-D1A21P-U-IL costs KSh 2,450 brand new at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price covers the dome, its mounting screws and the 12-month warranty, with pay-on-arrival delivery across all 47 counties. It does not include a power supply, coaxial cable or recorder. For KSh 150 more, the HAC-HDW1200CLQP-IL-A eyeball costs KSh 2,600, and the 5MP HAC-D1A51P-U-IL dome costs KSh 3,000, a KSh 550 step up for sharper detail.
Does the Dahua HAC-D1A21P-U-IL show colour video at night?
Yes, the Dahua HAC-D1A21P-U-IL can record colour at night using its warm white light, with a night range of about 20m. It offers three modes. The automatic IR and warm light mode keeps infrared on until a Dahua WizSense recorder detects a person or vehicle, then switches to warm light for colour. Warm light mode stays in colour all night. IR mode gives black-and-white footage only, which suits bedrooms or wards where a visible glow would disturb people. You change modes from the DVR menu, so no ladder is needed later.
Should I buy the Dahua HAC-D1A21P-U-IL or the HAC-HDW1200CLQP-IL-A eyeball?
Choose the Dahua HAC-D1A21P-U-IL if you want the lower price and a plain dome look, and the HAC-HDW1200CLQP-IL-A if you need sound. Both are 2MP Dual Light HDCVI cameras with 2.8mm lenses, sold at Mascom International. The eyeball costs KSh 2,600, KSh 150 more, and the -A in its code marks a built-in microphone. This dome has no microphone, so it suits silent monitoring of tills, stores and corridors where audio adds nothing. Recording sound in a workplace may also call for notices to staff and visitors, which this dome avoids.
Will the Dahua HAC-D1A21P-U-IL keep recording during KPLC power cuts?
The Dahua HAC-D1A21P-U-IL keeps recording through a KPLC outage only when its 12V supply and the DVR sit on a UPS, because the camera has no battery. It accepts 12V DC with a tolerance of 30% either side, so ordinary voltage dips will not knock it off. For a shop or home, plug the DVR, the camera power box and your fibre router into one small UPS, and you keep both footage and remote viewing during short blackouts. Mascom International can suggest a UPS size once you tell us how many cameras you run.
Can I watch the Dahua HAC-D1A21P-U-IL on my phone over Safaricom home fibre?
Yes, you can watch the Dahua HAC-D1A21P-U-IL live on your phone through Dahua's free DMSS app once the recorder is online. The camera connects to the DVR by coax, and the DVR connects to your Safaricom or Airtel home fibre router with a network cable. Scan the recorder's QR code into DMSS and the feed appears. Mobile data also works when you are away, though a full HD live view uses more bundles than the lower-quality preview stream.
How much of a room does the 2.8mm lens on the Dahua HAC-D1A21P-U-IL cover?
The 2.8mm lens on the Dahua HAC-D1A21P-U-IL covers about 100 degrees horizontally, wide enough for most shops and sitting rooms from one corner. Dahua rates it to recognise a known person at about 8.9m and identify a stranger at about 4.5m. Place it so the door and till sit within 4 to 5m of the lens. Beyond that range it still detects movement up to about 44.7m, but faces become too small to name.
Which Mascom recorder works best with the Dahua HAC-D1A21P-U-IL?
The XVR1B04-I/T at KSh 5,300 suits a four-camera home or shop running the Dahua HAC-D1A21P-U-IL, and any Dahua WizSense XVR will accept it. The XVR1B series is rated for 1080N recording, a lighter version of full HD that saves disk space. If you want full 1080p recording and room for 5MP cameras later, the XVR5108HS-5M-I3 costs KSh 10,500 at Mascom International. Both are WizSense models with person and vehicle detection, which is what triggers the dome's switch to colour light. A hard drive is bought separately for either recorder.
Who is the Dahua HAC-D1A21P-U-IL right for, and who should look elsewhere?
The Dahua HAC-D1A21P-U-IL is right for indoor rooms where colour night clips matter and sound does not: shops, offices, clinics and homes. Look elsewhere for an open gate or exposed wall, because Dahua lists no waterproof rating for this plastic dome; the IP67 HAC-HFW1200CLP-IL-A bullet at KSh 2,600 handles that job. Look elsewhere too if you need fine detail at a counter, where the 5MP HAC-D1A51P-U-IL dome at KSh 3,000 is the better fit.
Technical Specifications
Sensor and Picture Quality
- 2MP progressive-scan CMOS sensor — full HD 1920 x 1080 video, clear enough to follow people moving around a shop floor
- 25 frames per second on the PAL setting — smooth motion, so a hand reaching into a till is not lost between frames
- Digital WDR with BLC and HLC — evens out bright doorways and glaring lights so faces near windows stay visible
- 2D noise reduction — cleans grain from dim scenes, so night recordings look less speckled when you review them
- Auto day and night switching with an IR-cut filter — true colours in daylight and clean black-and-white footage under infrared
- Minimum illumination of 0.02 lux in colour and 0.002 lux in black and white — keeps a usable picture in dim back offices
Lens and Field of View
- 2.8mm fixed lens with F2.0 aperture — nothing to zoom or adjust, and the wide opening lets in more light in dim rooms
- About 100 degrees horizontal and 54 degrees vertical view — one dome in a ceiling corner covers most small shops or sitting rooms
- Detects movement at up to 44.7m and observes general activity at 17.9m, according to Dahua's DORI ratings for this lens
- Recognises a known person at about 8.9m and identifies a stranger at about 4.5m — mount it within that distance of the door
- Close focus from 0.5m — stays sharp even when fitted on a low ceiling directly above a counter
- M12 lens mount inside a fixed dome — the angle is set once at installation and cannot be knocked out of line by passers-by
Night Vision and Illumination
- Dual Light with infrared and warm white light — rated to 20m in the dark for this stock
- Automatic IR and warm light mode — discreet infrared until a WizSense recorder spots a person or vehicle, then colour recording
- Warm light mode — colour footage all night, useful for corridors and stores where a soft glow is acceptable
- IR mode — black-and-white footage with no visible light, suited to bedrooms, wards and dormitories
- 0 lux operation once the illuminator is on — the dome records in a fully dark room
- Light switching controlled automatically or set manually — choose whether the room ever sees a visible glow at night
Audio and Signal Output
- One BNC output switchable between HDCVI, TVI, AHD and CVBS — works with Dahua recorders and most hybrid DVRs from other brands
- HDCVI signal over standard coaxial cable — lets you reuse old analogue CCTV cable runs when upgrading a building
- No built-in microphone — this dome records video only; pick a Dahua model ending in -A when you need sound
- Electronic shutter from 1/25 to 1/100,000 of a second — handles quick movement and bright light with less blur
- Signal-to-noise ratio above 65dB — a cleaner picture with less visible static in dim scenes
- CVBS fallback at 960H resolution — can still feed an older analogue recorder while you save for a new DVR
Build Power and Weatherproofing
- Plastic dome housing 99.1mm across and 74.1mm tall — small and low-profile on a ceiling or wall
- Net weight of about 0.17kg — light enough for plasterboard ceilings using the supplied anchors
- Wall, ceiling or vertical pole mounting — flexible placement over tills, doors and stairways
- 12V DC power with 30% tolerance either side — runs from a standard CCTV power box and rides out minor dips
- Operating range of -40°C to +60°C below 95% humidity without condensation — Dahua lists no IP rating, so keep it indoors or under deep shelter
