Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
Mascom International stocks the Dahua HAC-HFW1200CLP-IL-A at KSh 2,600, a 2MP HDCVI bullet camera with a 3.6mm fixed lens, Dahua's dual-light night vision rated to 20m and a built-in microphone. Each unit is brand new and sealed. The Dahua HAC-HFW1200CLP-IL-A records 1920 x 1080 full HD at 25 frames per second, carries an IP67 rating for rain and dust, and sends video and sound over a single coaxial cable to a compatible DVR. Pick one up at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order with pay-on-arrival delivery.
Built for homeowners, landlords, school bursars and warehouse supervisors across Kenya, the Dahua HAC-HFW1200CLP-IL-A watches gates, parking bays and compound walls. Silent outdoor cameras leave a gap: you see an argument at the gate but cannot tell what was said. This bullet adds a microphone, so the recording keeps voices, a vehicle horn or a dog barking alongside the picture. At night it stays on infrared, then turns on warm white light for colour once a WizSense recorder spots a person, which helps when checking who came through an estate gate in Ruaka or Kitengela.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell outdoor cameras with no clear model code, Mascom International sells the exact Dahua part number, a written 12-month warranty and advice on matching each camera to a recorder. The Dahua HAC-HFW1200CLP-IL-A costs KSh 200 less than the HAC-HFW1200RLP-IL-T, which adds a speaker for talking back to visitors. Buyers throughout Kenya report that sound on gate footage settles disputes with watchmen and delivery riders faster than video alone. Visit our Kimathi Street shop to compare it in person with other bullets, or order the Dahua HAC-HFW1200CLP-IL-A on WhatsApp.
Common Questions About the Dahua HAC-HFW1200CLP-IL-A
What is the Dahua HAC-HFW1200CLP-IL-A price in Kenya?
The Dahua HAC-HFW1200CLP-IL-A sells for KSh 2,600 brand new at Mascom International on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. The price includes the camera, its fixing kit and a 12-month warranty, with pay-on-arrival delivery to every county. A 12V power supply, coaxial cable and DVR are extra. The two-way talk HAC-HFW1200RLP-IL-T costs KSh 2,800, and the 40m HAC-HFW1200TLMP-IL-T costs KSh 3,400, so this bullet is the lowest-priced 2MP outdoor option in our Dahua lineup.
Can the Dahua HAC-HFW1200CLP-IL-A survive rain and dust outdoors in Kenya?
Yes, the Dahua HAC-HFW1200CLP-IL-A carries an IP67 rating, meaning it is sealed against dust and can handle heavy rain. That matters for gates facing murram roads, where dust coats everything during dry months, and for walls exposed to long-rains downpours. Dahua rates it to work from -40°C to +60°C, which covers rooftop heat in Mombasa as well as cold nights in Nyahururu. Wipe the front glass every few weeks so dust does not soften the picture. Seal cable joints with tape or a junction box, because the camera rating does not cover exposed connectors.
Does the microphone on the Dahua HAC-HFW1200CLP-IL-A let me talk to visitors?
No, the Dahua HAC-HFW1200CLP-IL-A only listens; its built-in microphone records sound but it has no speaker for replies. The audio travels with the video over the same coaxial cable, so your DVR must support audio over coax. Dahua's -A suffix marks the microphone. If you want to speak to a visitor from your phone, the HAC-HFW1200RLP-IL-T at KSh 2,800 adds two-way talk, and it pairs with the XVR1B-I/T recorders Mascom International stocks.
How should I choose between the Dahua HAC-HFW1200CLP-IL-A and the HAC-HFW1500RLP-IL-A?
Pick the Dahua HAC-HFW1200CLP-IL-A for wide coverage at the lowest price, and the 5MP HAC-HFW1500RLP-IL-A when you need to read faces or number plates further away. Both are microphone-equipped dual-light bullets with 3.6mm lenses. The 5MP model costs KSh 3,200, KSh 600 more, and its night range is rated at 30m against 20m here. It also needs a 5MP-capable recorder such as the XVR5108HS-5M-I3, while this 2MP bullet runs on any XVR1B unit.
How wide is the view from the 3.6mm lens on the Dahua HAC-HFW1200CLP-IL-A?
The 3.6mm lens on the Dahua HAC-HFW1200CLP-IL-A covers about 83 degrees horizontally and 48 degrees vertically. That is narrower than a 2.8mm lens but reaches further, which suits a gate, driveway or shop front about 4 to 8m from the camera. Mount it at roughly 2.5 to 3m high, angled so people walking in face the lens. Higher mounting deters tampering but shows the tops of heads more than faces. For a wider yard, two bullets aimed from opposite corners usually beat one camera stretched too far.
What happens to the Dahua HAC-HFW1200CLP-IL-A when KPLC power goes off?
When KPLC power drops, the Dahua HAC-HFW1200CLP-IL-A stops recording unless its power supply and DVR are backed by a UPS or inverter. The camera draws up to about 4.1W with its night lights on and runs on 12V DC, so one compact UPS can carry it along with a recorder and router. Estates and schools with frequent outages often add solar backup to the guard house, which keeps compound cameras running through the night. Mascom International can help you size backup for the number of cameras on your site.
Can my watchman view the Dahua HAC-HFW1200CLP-IL-A on Airtel or Safaricom data?
Yes, anyone with the DMSS app and your login can view the Dahua HAC-HFW1200CLP-IL-A live on Airtel, Safaricom or Telkom data. The camera feeds the DVR, and the DVR goes online through your home or office internet connection. Give your watchman a separate DMSS account with view-only access so he cannot delete recordings. Remember that live sound also uses data, so a guard on a small bundle should watch the substream rather than full HD.
Who should buy the Dahua HAC-HFW1200CLP-IL-A, and who should choose another camera?
The Dahua HAC-HFW1200CLP-IL-A suits anyone covering a gate, parking area or perimeter on a tight budget who wants sound and colour night clips. Skip it if you need to identify faces at a distance or read plates, where a 5MP bullet does that job better. Skip it too for long driveways or open yards, since the HAC-HFW1200TLMP-IL-T lights about 40m at night. For indoor ceilings, a dome or eyeball model looks neater, such as the HAC-D1A21P-U-IL at KSh 2,450.
Technical Specifications
Image Sensor and Resolution
- 2MP CMOS sensor — 1920 x 1080 full HD, sharp enough to show clothing, build and movement at a gate
- 25 frames per second on PAL and 30 on NTSC — fluid footage of cars, bodas and people passing the camera
- Minimum illumination of 0.01 lux in colour and 0.001 lux in black and white — still records under weak street lighting
- Digital WDR plus BLC and HLC — handles bright sky behind a gate and dazzling headlights pointed at the lens
- 0 lux recording with the illuminator on — keeps working in a compound with no outside lights at all
- Auto switching between day colour and night modes — no manual changes needed as evening falls over the compound
Lens and Coverage
- 3.6mm fixed-focal lens on an M12 mount — set once at installation, with no zoom or motor parts to fail
- F2.0 aperture — a wide opening that gathers more light at dusk and dawn
- About 83 degrees horizontal, 48 degrees vertical and 105 degrees diagonal view — suits gates, driveways and shop fronts
- Narrower and longer reach than the 2.8mm eyeball and dome models in this batch — better for faces a few metres out
- Fixed-focus design — no autofocus hunting at night, so the picture stays steady when lights switch
- 3.6mm version of this model rather than its 2.8mm sibling — gives up about 19 degrees of width for extra reach
Night Vision and Illumination
- Dual light with infrared and warm white light, each rated to 20m in the dark
- Three night modes: automatic IR and warm light, warm light only, and IR only
- Automatic mode stays on infrared until a WizSense recorder detects a person, then switches to colour
- Warm light mode can deter intruders, since a lit camera shows the compound is watched
- IR only mode avoids glare on neighbours' windows in tightly packed estates and flats
- Night modes are set from the DVR menu — change behaviour later without climbing a ladder to the camera
Audio and Signal Output
- Built-in microphone with one audio channel — records voices and sounds near the gate together with the video
- Audio carried over the same coaxial cable — no separate audio wire to run along the wall
- One BNC output switchable between HDCVI, TVI, AHD and CVBS — compatible with Dahua and many other hybrid DVRs
- HDCVI transmission over coax — reuses existing CCTV cabling when replacing old analogue cameras
- No speaker on this model — it listens only; choose a model ending in -T for two-way talk
- CVBS mode for older analogue recorders — lets you fit the camera now and upgrade the DVR later
Build Power and Weatherproofing
- IP67 rating — dust-tight and protected against heavy rain, ready for exposed walls and gate pillars
- Plastic housing measuring 163.4 x 69.7 x 70mm — compact and light on a wall or soffit
- Net weight of about 0.18kg — easy to mount with the supplied screws and anchors
- 12V DC power with 30% tolerance — keeps running through minor voltage swings
- Peak draw of about 4.1W with lights on — several cameras can share one power box and UPS
- Operating range of -40°C to +60°C — copes with hot rooftops in Garissa and cold highland nights alike
