Dahua IPC-HDW1230DT-STW is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 2,650, brand new and sealed. This 2MP fixed-focal eyeball network camera records 1920 × 1080 video, sees up to 30 metres in darkness with infrared, and connects over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi or a network cable. Made by Dahua Technology, the Dahua IPC-HDW1230DT-STW adds a built-in microphone and speaker for two-way talk, a microSD slot for up to 256GB and an IP67 weatherproof shell. Find it at our shop in the Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for delivery across Kenya.
Built for shopkeepers, landlords, school administrators and families across Kenya, the Dahua IPC-HDW1230DT-STW answers a simple worry: what happens at your door when you are away? Running cable to every corner of a Kahawa Sukari maisonette or a Ngara wholesale shop costs time and money. This camera joins your existing Wi-Fi instead, so it needs only a power point nearby. Its low draw also means a small UPS keeps it recording when KPLC power drops in the evening. It records to its own memory card, sends motion alerts to your phone and lets you speak to a visitor or delivery rider at the gate through the DMSS app.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell unbranded Wi-Fi cameras that stop working when their cloud app disappears, Mascom International stocks the Dahua IPC-HDW1230DT-STW, which also works with standard ONVIF recorders. That means it keeps working with a Dahua or third-party NVR if you grow into a full system later. Customers across Nairobi tell us the Dahua IPC-HDW1230DT-STW is the camera they start with before adding more. Come to Kimathi Street to see its live picture on our display, or order it for pay-on-arrival delivery.
Common Questions About the Dahua IPC-HDW1230DT-STW
How much is the Dahua IPC-HDW1230DT-STW 2MP Wi-Fi camera in Kenya?
The Dahua IPC-HDW1230DT-STW costs KSh 2,650 for a sealed unit at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price includes a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties, with same-day drop-off around Nairobi. A memory card is not part of the price, so budget for a microSD card if you want recordings without an NVR. For one camera watching a gate, shop or corridor, this is a low-cost way into a branded security setup.
Does the Dahua IPC-HDW1230DT-STW work without a recorder or NVR?
Yes, the Dahua IPC-HDW1230DT-STW works on its own with no recorder or NVR. Insert a microSD card of up to 256GB and the camera saves footage locally, while the DMSS app on Android or iPhone shows live video and playback over Wi-Fi or mobile data. When you want more cameras later, it also connects to a Dahua NVR or any ONVIF-compatible recorder. That flexibility makes it a sensible first camera for a home or small business in Kenya.
Can I use the Dahua IPC-HDW1230DT-STW outdoors in Kenyan rain and heat?
Yes, the Dahua IPC-HDW1230DT-STW carries an IP67 rating, so its sealed body resists dust and heavy rain. It runs from -30°C to 60°C, covering a sun-baked wall in Garissa as well as a cold Limuru night. The power adapter and its connection are not weatherproof, though, so keep that joint in a junction box or under the eaves. Mount it where the long rains do not pour straight onto the lens dome, and wipe the cover occasionally after dusty spells.
How clear is the night vision on the Dahua IPC-HDW1230DT-STW?
The Dahua IPC-HDW1230DT-STW shows black-and-white video up to 30 metres away in total darkness, using built-in infrared lights. That distance covers a typical compound, driveway or shop front. The camera adjusts its infrared strength automatically so faces close to the lens do not wash out. In daylight and decent street lighting, you get full colour at 1080p. It does not show colour at night once the area goes dark, so add a security light if you need colour footage after sunset.
Will the Dahua IPC-HDW1230DT-STW connect to my Safaricom or Airtel home Wi-Fi?
Yes, the Dahua IPC-HDW1230DT-STW connects to any home or office router broadcasting on 2.4GHz, including Safaricom, Airtel and Zuku fibre routers and 4G MiFi units. It does not use the 5GHz band, so make sure your router keeps 2.4GHz switched on. Dual antennas help the signal reach a gate or outbuilding, and Dahua rates open-area range up to 120 metres. Thick stone walls cut that sharply. Where Wi-Fi is weak, use its RJ-45 port with a network cable instead.
Should I buy the Dahua IPC-HDW1230DT-STW or the bullet-style IPC-HFW1230DT-STW?
Choose the Dahua IPC-HDW1230DT-STW for a neat, dome-shaped camera under eaves or on a ceiling, and the bullet-style IPC-HFW1230DT-STW for long walls and fences. Both are 2MP Wi-Fi models from the same Dahua family. The eyeball shape here is compact and less obvious to passers-by, and its angle is easy to adjust after mounting. A bullet camera sticks out from the wall, which makes it more visible as a deterrent at a gate.
Can I speak to visitors through the Dahua IPC-HDW1230DT-STW?
Yes, the Dahua IPC-HDW1230DT-STW has a built-in microphone and speaker for two-way talk through the DMSS app. You can greet a courier at the gate, warn off someone loitering, or check in on a shop attendant in Kisumu while you are in Nairobi. The microphone also records sound with your video, which helps when reviewing an incident. Audio detection can trigger an alert when it picks up a sudden loud noise. Check local rules before recording conversations in shared workplaces.
Who should buy the Dahua IPC-HDW1230DT-STW and who should skip it?
The Dahua IPC-HDW1230DT-STW suits homes, small shops, school gates and rental compounds that need one or two branded cameras on Wi-Fi. Landlords, kiosk owners and parents watching a nanny find it practical. Skip it if you need colour footage at night, human and vehicle detection that ignores moving trees, or many cameras on one site. For larger sites, a wired PoE kit with an NVR is better, and for night colour, pick a full-colour camera with warm white lights.
Technical Specifications
Sensor and Image Quality
- 1/2.8-inch CMOS sensor — a light-catching chip that suits a budget camera and handles normal indoor and outdoor light.
- 2MP resolution at 1920 × 1080 — Full HD footage clear enough to recognise faces near the gate.
- Up to 30 frames per second — smooth motion, so a person walking past shows as a fluid clip.
- Colour sensitivity of 0.025 lux — keeps colour under dim street lighting before switching to black-and-white mode.
- Black-and-white sensitivity of 0.0025 lux — catches detail in dark corners before the infrared even switches on.
Lens and Field of View
- Fixed-focal 2.8 mm lens — set at the factory, so there is no zoom to adjust or knock out of focus.
- About 100 degrees of horizontal view — wide enough to cover a gate and much of a small compound.
- About 53 degrees of vertical view — enough height to capture a person from head to foot near the gate.
- Adjustable eyeball mount — tilt and turn the camera after fixing the base until the angle is right.
- Automatic infrared balancing — adjusts infrared strength so close subjects stay readable instead of glowing white.
Video, Night Vision and Audio
- H.265 and H.264 compression, plus Dahua's H.265+ codec — shrinks video files so a memory card holds more days of footage.
- Infrared night vision up to 30 metres — clear black-and-white video across a driveway in complete darkness.
- Sub stream at 640 × 480 — a lighter preview stream that loads quickly on your phone over mobile data.
- Built-in microphone and speaker — two-way talk plus sound recorded with your video.
- Motion detection across four zones — alerts only for the areas you mark, such as a gate or doorway.
- Tamper and audio alarms — warns you if someone covers or moves the camera, or if loud noise is detected.
Power and Storage
- 12V DC power input — runs from a standard CCTV-style adapter, also stocked at Mascom International.
- About 1.9 W basic draw and 6.1 W peak — easy for a small UPS or solar setup to carry through a KPLC outage.
- microSD slot for cards up to 256GB — records on the camera itself, with no recorder needed.
- Works with Dahua NVRs and Dahua's free desktop software — footage can move to a recorder or computer as your setup grows.
- IP67 rated plastic and metal body — sealed against dust and heavy rain for outdoor mounting.
Connectivity and Network Support
- 2.4GHz Wi-Fi on 802.11b/g/n — joins nearly every home fibre router and 4G MiFi sold in Kenya.
- Dual antennas with up to 120 m open-area range — reach drops behind walls, so test the signal first.
- RJ-45 10/100 Ethernet port — plug in a cable when Wi-Fi is weak for a steadier connection.
- DMSS app for Android and iOS — live view, playback, alerts and two-way talk from your phone.
- ONVIF Profile S and T — works with many third-party recorders, so you are not locked to one brand.
