Condition: New

Dahua IPC-T1E29 2MP ECO Dome camera is now available at Mascom International for KSh 2,800, built around a 1/2.8-inch CMOS sensor, 1920x1080 Full HD resolution, and 30-metre dual-light night vision, stocked now at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. This dome camera records at 25 or 30 frames per second and uses H.265 compression to cut storage and bandwidth costs. The Dahua IPC-T1E29 carries an IP67 weather rating, a built-in microphone, and works on either Power over Ethernet or a 12V DC supply. It fits indoor ceilings and outdoor walls without extra housing.
Small business owners, landlords, and homeowners across Kenya lose sleep over night-time break-ins and grainy footage that fails to identify anyone. The Dahua IPC-T1E29 answers that problem with dual-light illumination that keeps recordings in full color after dark, not black and white. Shopkeepers in Nairobi CBD, Eastleigh, and Gikomba can read faces and number plates at the gate. Landlords managing rental flats in Kasarani, Rongai, and Pipeline get human detection that cuts false alerts from cats, branches, and passing matatus. One camera covers an entrance, a corridor, or a parking bay clearly.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell budget cameras that go monochrome at night, Mascom International stocks the Dahua IPC-T1E29 with warm-light and infrared output in one unit at KSh 2,800. Buyers across Kenya tell us the color night footage settles disputes and insurance claims far faster than older analog setups. The camera speaks ONVIF, so it pairs with most existing NVR brands already installed in Kenyan offices and estates. Visit our Kimathi Street showroom to see the live feed on a monitor, or order the Dahua IPC-T1E29 for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of the 47 counties.
Common Questions About the Dahua IPC-T1E29 Dome camera
What makes the Dahua IPC-T1E29 different from cheaper analog CCTV cameras?
The Dahua IPC-T1E29 is a network IP camera, not analog, so it sends a sharp 1080p digital feed over a single Ethernet cable instead of a fuzzy analog signal. Analog cameras in the same price range usually top out around 720p and lose detail past a few metres. This Dahua model records faces, gate activity, and number plates clearly across a wider area. It also adds human detection and color night vision, two features almost never found on analog units at KSh 2,800.
Does the Dahua IPC-T1E29 record in color at night?
Yes. The Dahua IPC-T1E29 uses dual-light illumination, pairing a warm white LED that reaches 15 metres with an infrared module that extends to 30 metres. The warm light keeps footage in full color through the night, so you see actual clothing colors, skin tone, and vehicle paint instead of grey shapes. When you prefer discreet recording, the camera switches to infrared for invisible monochrome capture. Minimum light sensitivity sits at 0.005 lux in color mode, which is dim moonlight territory for a typical Kenyan compound.
Do I need an NVR to use the Dahua IPC-T1E29?
No, you have two recording paths. The Dahua IPC-T1E29 accepts a microSD card up to 256GB inside the camera, letting it record on its own without any recorder box, which suits a single shop or gate. For multiple cameras, connect it to a Dahua or ONVIF-compatible NVR for central storage and longer retention. The microSD card is sold separately. Mascom International can advise on card size and NVR options based on how many days of footage you want to keep.
How does the Dahua IPC-T1E29 handle Kenya's rain and dust?
The Dahua IPC-T1E29 holds an IP67 rating, meaning it resists heavy dust and survives short submersion in water. It runs through the long rains in Nairobi, the coastal humidity in Mombasa, and the dry dust of Kitengela without water creeping into the lens. The casing combines metal and plastic for outdoor mounting on a wall or eave. You should still angle it under a slight overhang to keep direct rain off the dome glass for the clearest image over the years.
Is the Dahua IPC-T1E29 worth KSh 2,800 in Kenya's market?
For most homes and small shops, yes. At KSh 2,800, the Dahua IPC-T1E29 delivers 1080p resolution, color night vision, human detection, and IP67 weatherproofing that competing brands often charge KSh 4,000 or more to match. Buyers throughout Kenya tell us a two-to-four camera setup using this model covers a typical plot or storefront affordably. The camera also trims running costs through H.265 compression, which fills your microSD card or NVR drive far slower than older formats, so you store more days of footage.
How much area does the Dahua IPC-T1E29 cover?
The Dahua IPC-T1E29 ships with a fixed 2.8mm lens that produces a wide 105-degree field of view, covering a shop floor, a gate, or a parking bay in one frame. A 3.6mm version narrows the view to about 87 degrees for longer, tighter coverage such as a driveway or corridor. The wide 2.8mm option suits most Kenyan entrances and compounds. Tell our team the spot you want to watch, and we match the right focal length to your distance and width.
How do I view the Dahua IPC-T1E29 footage on my phone?
The Dahua IPC-T1E29 connects to the free Dahua DMSS mobile app on Android and iPhone for live viewing and playback from anywhere with internet. You scan the camera QR code, add it to the app, and watch your shop or gate over Safaricom, Airtel, or home Wi-Fi data. The camera supports P2P, so you skip complicated port-forwarding setup. It also pushes motion alerts to your phone when the human detection picks up a person, letting you check the feed within seconds.
