Condition: New

The Dahua HAC-D1A51P-U-IL is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 3,000, a 5MP HDCVI fixed-focal dome with a 3.6mm lens and Dahua's dual-light night vision rated to 30m for this stock. It arrives brand new and sealed. The sensor records up to 2880 x 1620 at 25 frames per second, roughly two and a half times the pixels of a 1080p camera, and the Dahua HAC-D1A51P-U-IL sends that picture over one coaxial cable to a 5MP-capable recorder. Collect it at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for pay-on-arrival delivery.
Designed for pharmacies, M-Pesa agents, SACCO banking halls, school offices and hardware shops, the Dahua HAC-D1A51P-U-IL handles jobs where a 2MP picture runs out of detail. Owners often find that a full HD camera shows someone at the counter but blurs the face or the notes changing hands once they zoom in. With 5MP, the recording holds more detail when you crop in later. At night the Dahua HAC-D1A51P-U-IL relies on infrared and switches to warm white light for colour when a WizSense recorder flags a person, which helps when reviewing a late break-in at a shop along Moi Avenue or a store in Industrial Area.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that mix grey-import cameras with no model labels, Mascom International stocks genuine Dahua units with clear part numbers, a 12-month warranty and recorders matched to their resolution. At Mascom International, we're seeing more shop owners move from 2MP to 5MP domes because the price gap has narrowed to a few hundred shillings. The Dahua HAC-D1A51P-U-IL costs KSh 200 less than the 5MP HAC-HDW1500CLQP-IL-A eyeball. Visit our Kimathi Street store to view live 5MP footage, or order on WhatsApp for delivery.
Common Questions About the Dahua HAC-D1A51P-U-IL
What does the Dahua HAC-D1A51P-U-IL cost in Kenya?
The Dahua HAC-D1A51P-U-IL costs KSh 3,000 brand new at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That buys the dome, its fixing kit and a 12-month warranty, delivered pay-on-arrival anywhere in Kenya. Power supply, coax and recorder are bought separately. It sits KSh 550 above the 2MP HAC-D1A21P-U-IL dome at KSh 2,450, and KSh 200 below the 5MP HAC-HDW1500CLQP-IL-A eyeball and the 5MP HAC-HFW1500RLP-IL-A bullet, both at KSh 3,200.
Is the Dahua HAC-D1A51P-U-IL a dome or a bullet camera?
The Dahua HAC-D1A51P-U-IL is a dome camera; Dahua's D1A51 datasheet describes it as a 5MP HDCVI fixed-focal dome. The letter D in the model code stands for the dome housing, while bullet models in Dahua's range usually start with HFW or B. It mounts flat on a ceiling or wall and adjusts on three axes inside the shell. If your site needs a weatherproof bullet for an exposed gate, the HAC-HFW1500RLP-IL-A is the 5MP bullet Mascom International stocks.
Is 5MP on the Dahua HAC-D1A51P-U-IL worth the extra KSh 550 over a 2MP dome?
Yes, for counters, tills and entrances, the Dahua HAC-D1A51P-U-IL is worth the KSh 550 because faces stay readable at longer distances. Dahua rates the 3.6mm 5MP version to identify a person at about 7.9m, against about 5.5m for the 3.6mm 2MP D1A21 dome. In a 20-camera shop that adds KSh 11,000 to the camera bill. For corridors and stores where you only need to see movement, the 2MP HAC-D1A21P-U-IL is the cheaper choice.
Which recorder do I need for full 5MP from the Dahua HAC-D1A51P-U-IL?
You need a 5MP recorder such as the Dahua XVR5108HS-5M-I3 at KSh 10,500 to record the Dahua HAC-D1A51P-U-IL at full resolution. The XVR5116HS-5M-I3 at KSh 16,500 covers up to 16 cameras. The lower-priced XVR1B-I/T series records at 1080N, so it would throw away most of the extra detail you paid for. Both 5M-I3 units are WizSense models, so they also trigger the camera's colour light when a person appears.
Will the Dahua HAC-D1A51P-U-IL handle dust and humidity in a Kenyan shop?
The Dahua HAC-D1A51P-U-IL suits indoor and sheltered spots in Kenya, rated to work from -40°C to +60°C below 95% humidity without condensation. Dahua lists no IP waterproof rating for this plastic dome, so it belongs under a ceiling or a deep veranda, not on an open wall. Dahua gives it a basic anti-corrosion rating, suitable for normal indoor air. Dust from a busy street does settle on the cover, so wipe it every few weeks. In humid Mombasa or Kisumu shops, keep it away from air-conditioning vents that drip.
How much hard drive space does the Dahua HAC-D1A51P-U-IL use?
The Dahua HAC-D1A51P-U-IL uses more storage than a 2MP camera because each frame carries about 4.7 million pixels instead of about 2.1 million. How long a drive lasts depends on the recorder's compression settings, motion levels and the number of cameras. Most buyers in Kenya fit a surveillance-grade drive and set the DVR to overwrite the oldest footage. Tell Mascom International how many days of recording you want, and we will suggest a drive size.
How far into a room does the 3.6mm lens on the Dahua HAC-D1A51P-U-IL see?
The 3.6mm lens on the Dahua HAC-D1A51P-U-IL covers about 86 degrees horizontally and 46 degrees vertically. Dahua's ratings put detection at about 79.4m, observation at 31.8m and recognition of a known face at about 15.9m. Inside a typical shop that means one dome above the entrance can cover the door and counter together. Mount it 2.4 to 3m high and aim it slightly down, so faces fill more of the frame than ceilings.
Who will get the most from the Dahua HAC-D1A51P-U-IL, and who should pick something else?
The Dahua HAC-D1A51P-U-IL fits businesses that need faces and transactions clear on indoor footage, such as pharmacies, M-Pesa shops, clinics and school bursar offices. Pick something else if you need sound, because this dome has no microphone; the HAC-HDW1500CLQP-IL-A eyeball adds one for KSh 200 more. Skip it for exposed outdoor walls, where the IP67-rated HAC-HFW1500RLP-IL-A bullet fits. Owners running an XVR1B recorder should budget for a 5MP DVR first.
Technical Specifications
Sensor and Image Detail
- 5MP progressive-scan CMOS sensor — records up to 2880 x 1620, enough to read faces and notes changing hands at a counter
- Up to 25 frames per second at 5MP — smooth footage of people moving through a shop door
- 4MP and 1080p output modes also available — the camera can drop resolution to match an older recorder
- Minimum illumination of 0.02 lux in colour and 0.002 lux in black and white — usable pictures in dim stores
- Digital WDR with BLC and HLC — balances bright shopfronts against darker interiors so faces near the door stay clear
- 2D noise reduction and eight privacy-mask areas — cleaner night footage, and you can black out a neighbour's window or a PIN pad
Lens and Field of View
- 3.6mm fixed-focal lens on an M12 mount with F2.0 aperture — wide opening for dim rooms, no zoom parts to wear
- About 86 degrees horizontal, 46 degrees vertical and 104 degrees diagonal view — covers a door and counter from one corner
- Identifies a stranger at about 7.9m and recognises a known person at about 15.9m on Dahua's DORI scale
- Close focus from 1.4m — keep the dome at least that far from the faces you need sharp
- Pan up to 355 degrees, tilt up to 75 degrees and rotate up to 355 degrees — aim it precisely after mounting
Night Vision and Illumination
- Dual light with infrared and warm white light — night range of 30m as stated for this stock
- Automatic switching to warm white light when a WizSense recorder detects a person — colour clips of night intruders
- Infrared mode for black-and-white recording with no visible glow — suits rooms where people sleep or rest
- Auto, colour and black-and-white day and night settings via an IR-cut filter — true daytime colours, clean night footage
- 0 lux recording with the illuminator on — keeps a picture in a shop with every light switched off
- Light behaviour set from the recorder menu — switch between colour and infrared later without touching the camera
Audio and Signal Output
- One BNC port with HDCVI, TVI, AHD and CVBS selected by a DIP switch on the camera — works with most hybrid DVRs
- HDCVI over standard coaxial cable — runs long distances on cable many buildings already have
- TVI output at 5MP and AHD at 4MP — useful when connecting to a recorder from another brand
- CVBS at 960H — an analogue fallback for legacy recorders while you plan an upgrade
- No built-in microphone — this dome records video only; choose a Dahua model ending in -A for sound
Build Power and Weatherproofing
- Plastic dome housing 99.1mm across and 74.1mm tall — small and discreet on a ceiling
- Net weight of about 0.17kg — light enough for ceiling boards with the supplied anchors
- Wall, ceiling or vertical pole mounting — fits over tills, doors and reception desks
- 12V DC power with 30% tolerance either side — copes with minor dips from the mains
- Dahua lists no IP waterproof rating — install indoors or under deep shelter, away from direct rain
Package Contents
