Mascom International stocks the Dahua IPC-D1E49P-A-IL at KSh 5,200, brand new and sealed, and ready to collect from our Nairobi CBD store today. This 4MP dome network camera records at 2560 × 1440, uses a 2.8mm fixed lens for a wide view, and sees up to 30 metres in the dark with infrared, backed by built-in warm light for colour. The Dahua IPC-D1E49P-A-IL also has a built-in microphone and draws power from a PoE recorder through one network cable. Find it at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, where we can connect it to a screen so you see the picture first.
Designed for offices, clinics, pharmacies, salons, schools and churches, the Dahua IPC-D1E49P-A-IL handles indoor rooms and covered entrances where a tidy ceiling fitting matters. Bare lenses on a wall invite people to twist them away or cover them. The Dahua IPC-D1E49P-A-IL hides which way its lens points, so staff and visitors behave as if every corner is covered. Accountants guarding a cash office, doctors watching a waiting room and school bursars covering a fee counter get sharp 4MP footage with sound, while the round shell blends into the ceiling like a light fitting.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops hand over a camera in a box and leave setup to you, Mascom International tests each Dahua IPC-D1E49P-A-IL on a recorder and explains the settings before you leave. Buyers throughout Kenya report that the dome shape suits businesses where clients should feel welcome rather than watched. At Mascom International, we're seeing offices in Upper Hill and Westlands pair these domes with outdoor bullets to cover reception and parking on one system.

Common Questions About the Dahua IPC-D1E49P-A-IL
What is the Dahua IPC-D1E49P-A-IL price in Kenya?
The Dahua IPC-D1E49P-A-IL sells for KSh 5,200, brand new and sealed, at Mascom International on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. You get the camera with a 12-month warranty through Mascom International. There is no power adapter or network cable in the box, so budget for a PoE recorder or switch and Cat6 cable. Delivery anywhere in Kenya is pay-on-arrival. The 2MP Dahua IPC-D1E29P-A-IL ECO dome costs KSh 4,000, so the 4MP version is KSh 1,200 more per camera.
Is the Dahua IPC-D1E49P-A-IL worth the extra over the Dahua IPC-D1E29P-A-IL?
The Dahua IPC-D1E49P-A-IL records 4MP at 2560 × 1440, against 2MP on the Dahua IPC-D1E29P-A-IL, for KSh 1,200 more. Double the pixels means you can zoom into recorded footage and still read a face or a document on a desk. Both domes share the ECO build, a wide lens and a microphone. Pick the 4MP model for reception desks, cash points and entrances where faces matter. Pick the 2MP model for corridors and stores where you only need to see that someone passed.
Can I watch the Dahua IPC-D1E49P-A-IL on my phone over Safaricom or Airtel home fibre?
Yes, the Dahua IPC-D1E49P-A-IL can be viewed live on your phone through the free Dahua DMSS app once it is connected to a Dahua recorder on the internet. Safaricom Home Fibre, Airtel home internet and Zuku all work, as long as the router stays powered. The camera's lighter sub stream loads well on mobile data when you are away from Wi-Fi. Our staff at Mascom International can set up the app on your phone in store, so you leave able to check your business from anywhere.
Is a dome or an eyeball camera better for an office?
A dome such as the Dahua IPC-D1E49P-A-IL is usually the better choice for an office, because its round cover hides where the lens points and is harder to tamper with. An eyeball like the Dahua IPC-T1E49P-A-IL costs the same KSh 5,200 and is quicker to aim, since the lens sits in an open ball joint. For reception areas, waiting rooms and open-plan desks, the dome looks neater. For a gate or veranda where you want to adjust the angle often, the eyeball is easier.
Is the Dahua IPC-D1E49P-A-IL good for a clinic or pharmacy?
The Dahua IPC-D1E49P-A-IL suits clinics and pharmacies well, with 4MP detail over counters and waiting areas and a microphone that records conversations at the till. A wide 2.8mm lens covers a small shop floor from one corner. The dome looks calm and professional, which matters where patients wait. Pharmacists in Kisumu, Nakuru and Eldoret can check stock movement and staff handovers from the DMSS app. Mount it above the dispensing counter, facing the customer side, for the clearest faces.
How do I protect the Dahua IPC-D1E49P-A-IL from KPLC power surges and lightning?
Protect the Dahua IPC-D1E49P-A-IL by fitting a surge protector and a UPS at the PoE recorder, since the camera takes its power from there. KPLC voltage spikes after an outage and lightning strikes during the long rains are common causes of failed CCTV kits in Kenya. A UPS keeps recording running through short cuts and absorbs spikes before they reach the cameras. Earth the recorder rack properly. Mascom International stocks UPS units and can advise on sizing for your full camera count.
How is the Dahua IPC-D1E49P-A-IL installed on a ceiling?
The Dahua IPC-D1E49P-A-IL fixes flat to a ceiling or wall with screws through its base, and the cable runs out through the back or side. Twist off the dome cover, angle the lens toward the area you want to see, then refit the cover. One Cat6 cable from the recorder carries power and video, so no electrician is needed at the camera point. For gypsum ceilings, add a backing board so the screws hold. Our team can suggest a local installer in Nairobi if you prefer.
Who should buy the Dahua IPC-D1E49P-A-IL and who should skip it?
The Dahua IPC-D1E49P-A-IL is right for offices, clinics, schools, salons and homes that want neat 4MP indoor or covered-porch coverage with sound. It gives a tidy look at a low price per camera. Skip it for open perimeter walls and long driveways, where a bullet housing with a visible deterrent shape works better; the Dahua IPC-HFW1439TL1-A-IL Entry bullet at KSh 6,000 fits that job. Skip it too if you want people and vehicle filtering; the Dahua IPC-HDBW2449E-S-IL WizSense dome at KSh 8,000 is the step up.
Technical Specifications
Sensor and Image
- 4MP CMOS sensor at 2560 × 1440 — sharper than 1080p, so you can zoom into recordings and still read faces.
- Main stream up to 25 or 30 frames per second — fluid motion, useful when reviewing a quick hand at a till.
- Second, lighter sub stream — loads fast on a phone over mobile data when you check in from outside the office.
- Wide dynamic range processing — evens out a bright window behind a reception desk so visitors are not dark shapes.
- Noise reduction — clears grain from dim rooms and keeps files smaller on the recorder's hard drive.
Lens and Field of View
- 2.8mm fixed-focal lens — a wide angle that covers a small office, waiting room or shop floor from one corner.
- Factory-set focus — no zoom ring to drift or be adjusted by staff, so the view stays the same.
- Three-axis lens module inside the dome — tilt and turn the lens during installation to suit a ceiling or wall.
- Covered lens — the dome shell hides which direction the camera faces, which discourages people from avoiding it.
- Best placement — above counters and doorways, about three metres up, for clear faces of people walking in.
Night Vision and Illumination
- Infrared range up to 30 metres — black-and-white footage in a fully dark hall, office or covered porch.
- Built-in warm light — gives colour footage after dark, so clothing and skin tones are easier to describe later.
- Dual light design — infrared and warm light in one housing, with the illumination mode chosen in the camera settings.
- Automatic day and night switching — changes between colour and night mode on its own as the light fades.
- No extra lamps needed — the built-in lights cover a typical room, saving a separate floodlight installation.
Video Compression and Detection
- H.265 compression — files take less space than older H.264, so your surveillance drive holds more days of video.
- H.265+ — Dahua's extra saving for still scenes such as an empty office, stretching recording time further.
- H.264 support — keeps the camera compatible with older recorders that do not decode H.265.
- Motion detection — triggers recording and phone alerts when something moves in the frame after hours.
- Tamper alerts — warn you on the recorder if someone covers or knocks the dome out of position.
Connectivity and Power
- One RJ-45 network port — a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable links the camera to a recorder or PoE switch.
- PoE input — takes power through the network cable, so no socket or adapter is needed in the ceiling.
- 12V DC input — an alternative power option when your recorder or switch lacks PoE ports.
- Built-in microphone — the A in the model name marks audio, so recordings carry voices near the camera.
- Dahua DMSS and SmartPSS Lite viewing — watch on Android, iPhone or a Windows computer through a Dahua recorder.
Build and Installation
- Full ordering code DH-IPC-D1E49P-A-IL-0280B — the 0280B in the code confirms the 2.8mm lens version.
- IP67 rating — sealed against dust and water, so it also suits covered verandas and shop entrances.
- Dome housing — a rounded shell that sits flush to the ceiling and looks like a light fitting.
- White finish — matches most office ceilings, clinic walls and painted gypsum boards.
- Screw-fix base — mounts directly to a ceiling or wall, with a junction box optional for a hidden cable joint.
