Dahua HAC-HFW1200RL is a 2MP 1080p HDCVI bullet camera with a 3.6mm fixed lens, 20-metre night vision, a built-in microphone, and an IP67 weatherproof metal body, now available at Mascom International for KSh 2,800. You will find it at our store inside Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. The Dahua HAC-HFW1200RL records sharp 1920x1080 video at 30 frames per second over standard coaxial cable. It runs on simple 12-volt DC power, so it pairs with most HDCVI recorders already installed across Kenyan premises. This camera suits buyers who want reliable footage without paying for high-end network gear.

The Dahua HAC-HFW1200RL fits shop owners along Tom Mboya Street, landlords managing rental compounds in Kasarani, and small business operators in Westlands who need eyes on entrances and tills. Many Kenyan premises rely on older analog wiring, and replacing that cabling costs real money. The HAC-HFW1200RL solves that by working over the same coaxial cable already running through most buildings. Its built-in microphone captures conversations near the entrance, useful for shops handling cash disputes or verifying delivery handovers. With 20-metre infrared range, the camera keeps watching gates, corridors, and parking bays through the night without extra lighting.

The Dahua HAC-HFW1200RL gives buyers a recognised brand at a budget price, backed by a metal IP67 housing that survives Kenyan dust and rain. Users consistently report that Dahua cameras hold up for years in coastal humidity and upcountry dust alike. Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya, Mascom International confirms every spec before listing and ships the HAC-HFW1200RL with pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. Visit our Nairobi CBD store to inspect the camera in person, or order by phone and pay only when it reaches you. At Mascom International, we are seeing strong demand for affordable HDCVI cameras as more Kenyan businesses add security on tight budgets.

Common Questions About the Dahua HAC-HFW1200RL bullet camera

Is the Dahua HAC-HFW1200RL worth KSh 2,800 in Kenya's market?
Yes, the Dahua HAC-HFW1200RL delivers full 1080p recording, a built-in mic, and 20-metre night vision at a price most budget shoppers can manage. At KSh 2,800, it costs less than many wireless cameras yet records clearer footage over wired connections. The metal body and IP67 rating mean it works outdoors without a separate housing. For shops, homes, and small offices that already own an HDCVI recorder, this camera is one of the cheapest ways to add a reliable channel.

Does the Dahua HAC-HFW1200RL work with my existing CCTV recorder?
The Dahua HAC-HFW1200RL connects to any HDCVI digital video recorder and switches between CVI, CVBS, AHD, and TVI formats. This four-in-one output means it pairs with most analog and HD recorders sold in Kenya over recent years. You change the output format through the camera's on-screen menu or a UTC controller. Before buying, check that your recorder supports HDCVI or one of the other three signals. Mascom International staff can confirm compatibility with your current setup before you order.

How good is the Dahua HAC-HFW1200RL night vision?
The Dahua HAC-HFW1200RL sees up to 20 metres in complete darkness using infrared LEDs with Smart IR. Smart IR adjusts the infrared strength based on how close a subject stands, so faces near the lens do not wash out into white blur. The camera switches to black-and-white mode automatically once light drops below 0.02 lux. This covers a typical compound gate, shop frontage, or corridor through the night. For larger yards beyond 20 metres, you would need additional cameras or external lighting.

Can the Dahua HAC-HFW1200RL record sound?
Yes, the Dahua HAC-HFW1200RL carries a built-in microphone that captures audio alongside video. HDCVI technology sends that audio down the same coaxial cable as the picture, so no separate audio wiring is needed. This helps shops record conversations at the counter or verify what happened during a dispute. Note that recording audio of people without consent carries legal limits in Kenya, so place the camera and signage thoughtfully. Confirm that your recorder supports HDCVI audio input to use this feature.

What lens and viewing angle does the Dahua HAC-HFW1200RL use?
The Dahua HAC-HFW1200RL ships with a 3.6mm fixed lens that covers roughly an 80-degree horizontal field of view. This angle balances width and detail, capturing a doorway plus the area around it without faces becoming too small to identify. The 3.6mm option suits entrances, tills, and medium-sized rooms. Wider 2.8mm and longer 6mm lenses exist on related models for broader or more distant scenes. For most Kenyan shop and home entrances, the 3.6mm version covers the space well.

How do I power the Dahua HAC-HFW1200RL?
The Dahua HAC-HFW1200RL runs on 12-volt DC power through a standard barrel connector. A 12V 1A power adapter handles a single camera, while multi-camera setups often use a centralised power box at the recorder. The adapter is not included in the box, so factor in roughly KSh 300 to KSh 600 for one, available at Mascom International. Low 12V draw keeps running costs minimal even with several cameras on one site. Our staff can recommend the right power supply for your installation size.

Why choose the Dahua HAC-HFW1200RL over a cheap no-name camera?
The Dahua HAC-HFW1200RL carries a recognised global brand, verified specs, and a 12-month Mascom International warranty, unlike unbranded cameras with no support. Generic cameras on River Road often overstate resolution and fail within months in Kenyan weather. Dahua publishes full datasheets, so the 2MP sensor, 20-metre IR, and IP67 rating are documented rather than guessed. When a problem arises, you bring it to our Nairobi CBD service desk instead of chasing an anonymous seller. That after-sales backing matters when a camera guards your premises daily.

Will the Dahua HAC-HFW1200RL survive Kenyan weather outdoors?
The Dahua HAC-HFW1200RL holds an IP67 rating, meaning it resists dust fully and withstands rain and temporary water immersion. Its metal housing handles Nairobi's wet seasons, Mombasa's coastal humidity, and upcountry dust without cracking or fogging. Mount it under a small eave where possible to extend its life, though the rating allows full open-air installation. The camera operates across a wide temperature range, covering both highland cold and lowland heat. This durability is why Dahua bullet cameras stay common on Kenyan shopfronts.

Technical Specifications

Image Sensor and Resolution
  • 1/2.7-inch CMOS sensor captures 2-megapixel images for clear identification of faces and number plates at close range
  • Effective resolution of 1920x1080 pixels records true Full HD 1080p footage suitable for evidence and daily monitoring
  • Top frame rate of 30 frames per second produces smooth motion that captures fast movement near entrances without blur
  • Signal-to-noise ratio above 65 decibels keeps recorded images clean with minimal grain in well-lit scenes
  • Progressive scanning reads the full frame at once, avoiding the jagged edges that interlaced sensors show on moving subjects
  • Minimum illumination of 0.02 lux lets the camera keep a usable colour image in dim dawn and dusk light
Lens and Field of View
  • Fixed 3.6mm lens covers roughly an 80-degree horizontal angle, framing a doorway plus surrounding floor area in one shot
  • Fixed iris design keeps setup simple, with no focus adjustment needed after the camera is mounted and aimed
  • M12 lens mount holds the optics firmly against vibration from gates, doors, and passing traffic
  • The 3.6mm focal length balances coverage width against detail, keeping faces large enough to recognise at typical entry distances
  • Related models offer 2.8mm and 6mm lenses, so wider or longer views are available if your scene needs them
  • Lens positioning suits wall mounting at two to three metres, the common height for Kenyan shop and compound installs
Night Vision and Infrared
  • Infrared LEDs light scenes up to 20 metres away in total darkness, covering gates, corridors, and shop frontages overnight
  • Smart IR technology dims the infrared for close subjects, preventing the white-out that makes nearby faces unreadable
  • Automatic day-night switching changes to black-and-white infrared mode when ambient light drops too low for colour
  • Infrared control runs automatically or by manual setting, letting installers fix the behaviour for specific lighting conditions
  • Built-in IR LEDs need no external illuminator, keeping the install tidy and lowering the total hardware cost
  • Night footage stays usable for identifying movement, vehicle approach, and entry activity at protected premises
Video Output and Recorder Compatibility
  • HDCVI output sends Full HD video over standard coaxial cable across distances far longer than network cameras reach
  • Four-in-one switching supports CVI, CVBS, AHD, and TVI signals, matching nearly any HD or analog recorder sold locally
  • Coaxial transmission carries video, audio, and control data together on one cable, cutting wiring time and material cost
  • On-screen display menu and UTC control let installers change settings from the recorder without reaching the camera
  • Built-in microphone records audio down the same coaxial line, adding voice context to footage at counters and entrances
  • Wide format support protects older recorder investments, letting buyers upgrade cameras without replacing the whole system
Power and Weatherproofing
  • 12-volt DC input through a standard barrel connector matches the most common CCTV power supplies available in Kenya
  • Low power draw keeps electricity costs minimal even when several cameras share one centralised power box
  • IP67 rating blocks dust fully and resists rain and brief water immersion for safe outdoor mounting
  • Metal housing resists impact and corrosion better than plastic bodies, extending service life in humid coastal areas
  • Wide operating temperature range covers both highland cold mornings and hot lowland afternoons across Kenyan counties
  • Compact bullet shape mounts easily on walls and eaves, with the bracket adjusting to aim the lens at the target zone
