Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
Dahua IPC-HFW1239TL1-A-IL is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 5,000, a 2MP Entry-series bullet network camera with a 1/2.8-inch sensor, 30-metre Smart Dual Light night vision, a built-in microphone and IP67 sealing. Every unit is brand new and sealed. The Dahua IPC-HFW1239TL1-A-IL records 1080p at up to 30 frames per second, stores footage efficiently with H.265, and takes power over the same network cable that carries its video. Our store is in the Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, where you can see it running before you buy.
Designed for homeowners, estate managers, warehouse supervisors and petrol station operators, the Dahua IPC-HFW1239TL1-A-IL handles the outdoor jobs where a camera faces rain, dust and people who would rather not be filmed. Many cheap cameras record grey, smeared shapes after dark. The Dahua IPC-HFW1239TL1-A-IL keeps infrared running through the night and turns on its warm white LEDs when it detects a person, so the clip of someone climbing your gate in Karen or loitering outside a Kisumu godown is in colour. Its 104-degree view covers a wide driveway, and the bullet shape tells visitors plainly that the property is watched.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that push unbranded kits with no paperwork, Mascom International sells genuine Dahua cameras with a 12-month warranty and staff who can explain how each part of a system connects. At Mascom International, we're seeing landlords pair the Dahua IPC-HFW1239TL1-A-IL with a Dahua PoE NVR for gates and boundary walls, then add eyeball cameras inside. ONVIF support means it also fits many recorders you may already own. Walk into the Kimathi Street store for a live demonstration, or order on WhatsApp and pay when the camera reaches your door.
Common Questions About the Dahua IPC-HFW1239TL1-A-IL
What is the Dahua IPC-HFW1239TL1-A-IL price in Kenya?
The Dahua IPC-HFW1239TL1-A-IL sells for KSh 5,000 brand new and sealed at Mascom International on Kimathi Street, Nairobi. You get the bullet camera with Smart Dual Light, a built-in microphone and a 12-month warranty claimed at our Nairobi CBD desk. No power adapter, network cable or recorder comes with it. Delivery is pay-on-arrival across Kenya. The ECO-series Dahua IPC-B1E29P-A-IL bullet costs KSh 1,000 less at KSh 4,000, and the active deterrence IPC-HFW1239TL1P-PV costs KSh 800 more at KSh 5,800.
Should I choose the Dahua IPC-HFW1239TL1-A-IL bullet or the Dahua IPC-HDW1239V-A-IL eyeball?
Both cost KSh 5,000, share a 1/2.8-inch 2MP sensor and a 104-degree view, so the choice comes down to housing and placement. The Dahua IPC-HFW1239TL1-A-IL bullet is 197.9 mm long, mounts on a wall or pole and points clearly down a driveway. It carries two IR and two warm LEDs against the eyeball's one of each. The eyeball is rounder and quieter on a ceiling or porch. Pick the bullet for gates and perimeters; pick the eyeball for entrances and verandas.
Will the Dahua IPC-HFW1239TL1-A-IL cope with rain and dust on an outdoor wall in Kenya?
Yes, the Dahua IPC-HFW1239TL1-A-IL is rated IP67, sealed against dust and protected against temporary immersion in water. It shrugs off heavy April rains in Nairobi, red dust along murram roads upcountry and salty air at the coast. The casing mixes metal and plastic, and the camera runs from minus 40 to plus 60 degrees Celsius with humidity up to 95 percent. Seal the cable joint with a junction box, such as Dahua's optional PFA134, so water does not creep in through the connector.
How many days of footage will a 1TB drive hold from the Dahua IPC-HFW1239TL1-A-IL?
At its top bit rate of 4,096 kbps, the Dahua IPC-HFW1239TL1-A-IL fills about 44GB a day, so a 1TB drive holds roughly 22 days of nonstop recording. Smart H.265+ and lower bit rates stretch that further, and motion-only recording stretches it again. Several cameras share one drive, so divide the total by your camera count. Surveillance hard drives are sold separately at Mascom International, and our team can help you size one for your NVR.
Can the Dahua IPC-HFW1239TL1-A-IL identify faces at my gate?
The Dahua IPC-HFW1239TL1-A-IL identifies a person at up to 4.4 metres and recognises someone familiar at 8.8 metres on its 2.8mm lens. Those are Dahua's DORI figures under the EN-62676-4 standard. Beyond that, it detects a person at 44.1 metres and observes activity at 17.7 metres, which suits watching a compound rather than reading faces. Mount it so visitors pass within about four metres, such as just inside a pedestrian gate, for faces you can use in a police report.
Does the Dahua IPC-HFW1239TL1-A-IL work with a Hikvision or other non-Dahua NVR?
Yes, the Dahua IPC-HFW1239TL1-A-IL supports ONVIF Profile S and Profile T, the open standards most recorders use to talk to cameras from other makers. Live view and recording generally work on a compatible third-party NVR. Dahua extras such as human detection events and event search work fully only on a Dahua recorder. If you already own a recorder, bring its model name to Mascom International on Kimathi Street and our team will check compatibility before you pay.
Does the Dahua IPC-HFW1239TL1-A-IL have a memory card slot?
Dahua's datasheet lists no microSD card slot on the Dahua IPC-HFW1239TL1-A-IL, so it does not record on its own. Footage goes to a network video recorder over the cable, or to an FTP server. That design keeps recordings safe if a thief pulls the camera off the wall, because the evidence sits on the NVR indoors. If you need one camera recording without a recorder, ask our team at Mascom International about Dahua models with onboard storage.
Who should buy the Dahua IPC-HFW1239TL1-A-IL and who should skip it?
Buy the Dahua IPC-HFW1239TL1-A-IL if you want dependable colour-on-event footage of a gate, driveway, yard or loading bay at a fair price. It suits homes, schools and small warehouses adding cameras to a PoE NVR. Skip it if you want the camera itself to warn intruders off; the Dahua IPC-HFW1239TL1P-PV at KSh 5,800 adds active deterrence. Skip it as well if you need more detail for number plates; the 4MP Dahua IPC-HFW1439TL1-A-IL costs KSh 6,000.
Technical Specifications
Sensor and Image
- 1/2.8-inch 2MP progressive-scan CMOS sensor — a larger sensor than ECO models, gathering more light for cleaner 1080p video.
- Colour sensitivity down to 0.005 lux and black-and-white down to 0.0005 lux at F1.6 — sharp images under weak street lighting.
- Signal-to-noise ratio above 56 dB — less grain and speckle in shadows, which keeps faces and clothing easier to read.
- Digital WDR with BLC and HLC — evens out bright sky and dark ground, and dims glare from oncoming headlights.
- 3D noise reduction — smooths night video, which also lowers file sizes and saves hard drive space.
Lens and Field of View
- 2.8mm fixed-focal lens on an M12 mount — the wide-angle version most buyers in Kenya choose for gates and compounds.
- 104° horizontal, 55° vertical and 124° diagonal view — one bullet covers a full driveway or the front of a shop.
- F1.6 widest aperture — a wide opening that lets more light reach the sensor at dusk and through the night.
- Close focus from 0.8 m — objects near the camera stay sharp, useful at a narrow pedestrian gate.
- Dahua also makes this model with 3.6mm and 6mm lenses — confirm the focal length in stock on WhatsApp before ordering.
Night Vision and Illumination
- Infrared night vision up to 30 m — clear black-and-white footage across a yard with no visible light.
- Warm white light up to 30 m — colour video at night once the LEDs switch on, showing car and clothing colours.
- Two IR LEDs and two warm light LEDs — a fuller spread of light across the wide 2.8mm view.
- Smart Dual Light — infrared stays on until a person is detected, then warm light records the event in colour.
- Auto or manual illuminator control — let the camera decide, or keep the lights off where they would bother neighbours.
Video Compression and Smart Detection
- H.265, H.264, Smart H.265+ and Smart H.264+ codecs — compact recordings that keep weeks of footage on one surveillance drive.
- Main stream 1920 × 1080 at 1 to 25 or 30 fps, with a 704 × 576 sub stream — smooth recording plus light mobile viewing.
- Bit rate from 12 to 4,096 kbps on H.265, with CBR or VBR control — tune quality against storage and upload bandwidth.
- SMD human detection — tells people apart from animals, leaves and passing vehicles, so you get fewer false alerts.
- Four privacy masks and four regions of interest — blank out a neighbour's window and sharpen the gate area instead.
Connectivity and Power
- Single RJ-45 10/100 Base-T port, full ordering code DH-IPC-HFW1239TL1-A-IL — one network cable links it to your NVR or switch.
- PoE (802.3af) or 12V DC power — run it from a PoE recorder, or from an adapter where no PoE port exists.
- Consumption of 2.3 W basic and 7.8 W peak on PoE — a modest load for a small UPS during outages.
- Built-in microphone with G.711, G.726 and PCM audio — records sound at the gate along with the picture.
- ONVIF Profile S and T, P2P, DDNS and HTTPS — remote viewing in DMSS and compatibility with many recorders.
Build and Installation
- IP67 protection — dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion, ready for open walls and poles.
- Metal and plastic housing — sturdier than all-plastic budget bullets on an exposed outdoor wall.
- Operating range of minus 40 to plus 60 °C and up to 95% humidity — handles rooftop heat and coastal damp.
- Dimensions of 197.9 × 80.2 × 76.2 mm and net weight of 0.31 kg — light enough for a standard wall plug mount.
- Pan 0° to 360°, tilt 0° to 90° and rotation 0° to 360° — aim it precisely after mounting.
Package Contents
The Dahua IPC-HFW1239TL1-A-IL arrives in Dahua's sealed retail packaging with the camera and the fittings Dahua supplies for this model. A power adapter is not included; Dahua sells the PFM321D 12V adapter, PFA134 junction box and PFA152-E pole bracket as optional extras. Most buyers power it over PoE from an NVR or switch instead. Surveillance hard drives are sold separately at Mascom International, along with Dahua recorders, so ask us to put together a complete set.
