Condition: New

The Dahua IPC-T1E49 4MP ECO Dome camera is now available at Mascom International for KSh 5,100, in stock at our Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street showroom in Nairobi CBD. This network camera uses a 1/3-inch 4-megapixel CMOS sensor that records video at 2560 x 1440 resolution and up to 30 frames per second. The Dahua IPC-T1E49 carries Dual Light night vision reaching 30 metres, IP67 weatherproofing, a built-in microphone, and 12V DC or PoE power over a single cable. At KSh 5,100, the Dahua IPC-T1E49 gives Kenyan homes and small businesses a sharp, affordable eye on entrances and yards.
Built for homeowners, landlords, and small business owners across Kenya, the Dahua IPC-T1E49 answers one daily worry: knowing what happens at your gate, shopfront, or compound when you are away. Shop owners in Nairobi CBD, Gikomba, and Eastleigh point it at tills and doorways. Landlords in Kasarani, Rongai, and Ruaka mount it over driveways and stairwells. The 2.8mm fixed lens covers a wide 94-degree view, so a single Dahua IPC-T1E49 watches a full room or forecourt. Footage streams to your phone through the Dahua DMSS app over Safaricom or Airtel mobile data.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya who sell cameras with no setup guidance, Mascom International helps you match the Dahua IPC-T1E49 to your existing recorder before you pay. Users report that the full-colour night mode shows faces and number plates that older infrared-only cameras turned into grey blurs. The Dahua IPC-T1E49 works with any ONVIF recorder, so it slots into Dahua or mixed camera systems already on site. Buyers throughout Kenya rely on Mascom International for honest specs and pay-on-arrival delivery. Visit our Kimathi Street store to view the Dahua IPC-T1E49 live before buying.
Common Questions About the Dahua IPC-T1E49
What does the Dahua IPC-T1E49 record and how sharp is the footage?
The Dahua IPC-T1E49 records 4-megapixel video at 2560 x 1440 resolution, far above the 1080p most budget cameras output. That extra detail lets you read a face, a shirt logo, or a number plate when you zoom into saved footage. The 1/3-inch CMOS sensor captures up to 30 frames per second, so movement across a shop floor or driveway stays smooth without blur. H.265+ encoding shrinks file sizes, meaning a recorder stores weeks of footage instead of days.
How well does the Dahua IPC-T1E49 see at night?
The Dahua IPC-T1E49 uses Dahua Dual Light, combining infrared and warm white LEDs to cover the dark in two ways. Infrared reaches 30 metres for quiet black-and-white monitoring, while the warm light switches on when the camera detects a person, capturing full-colour video up to 15 metres. This matters because colour footage shows clothing shades and skin tones that plain infrared cannot. At 0.0008 lux sensitivity, the camera still produces a usable picture on moonless Kenyan nights.
Is the Dahua IPC-T1E49 suitable for outdoor use in Kenya's weather?
Yes. The Dahua IPC-T1E49 holds an IP67 rating, which means it survives heavy dust and can sit under 1 metre of water for 30 minutes without damage. That covers the long rains in Nairobi, coastal humidity in Mombasa, and the red dust along Thika Road. Its wide-voltage design tolerates power swings of around 30 percent, useful where mains supply is unstable upcountry. Mount it under an eave or on a gatepost and it keeps working through the seasons.
Can I view the Dahua IPC-T1E49 on my phone?
Yes. The Dahua IPC-T1E49 connects to the free Dahua DMSS app on iOS and Android, letting you watch live video and play back recordings from anywhere with internet. You can check your shop from a meeting in Westlands or your rural home from town. The camera also sends motion and human-detection alerts straight to your phone, so you react fast to activity at your gate. The DSS and PSS Lite desktop software give the same access from a computer.
What recorder or NVR works with the Dahua IPC-T1E49?
The Dahua IPC-T1E49 pairs best with any Dahua NVR for plug-and-play setup, showing a picture the moment it connects. Because it supports ONVIF Profile S and Profile T, it also records to most third-party NVR brands already installed in Kenyan homes and shops. The camera streams two feeds at once, so a high-resolution stream records while a lighter stream plays on your phone. Mascom International stocks matching Dahua NVRs and PoE switches to complete your setup.
How do I power the Dahua IPC-T1E49?
The Dahua IPC-T1E49 accepts either 12V DC from an adapter or PoE, which sends power and data down one network cable. PoE is the cleaner choice because it removes the need for a separate socket near the camera, handy on a high wall or gate. A single cable run from a PoE switch or NVR powers the camera and carries footage at the same time. This keeps installation simple and reduces clutter on the wall.
Does the Dahua IPC-T1E49 record sound?
Yes. The Dahua IPC-T1E49 carries a built-in microphone that captures audio alongside video, adding context that pictures alone miss. You hear a doorbell, a raised voice, or a vehicle engine on the recording, which helps when reviewing an incident at a shop counter or reception desk. Audio detection can also trigger an alarm event. Note that recording audio carries legal duties in Kenya, so place clear signage where you monitor sound in public-facing areas.
Is the Dahua IPC-T1E49 worth KSh 5,100 in Kenya's market?
At KSh 5,100, the Dahua IPC-T1E49 prices below many 2MP cameras while doubling the resolution to 4MP and adding full-colour night vision and a microphone. Cheaper cameras often drop to grainy infrared after dark and miss the detail that matters in a claim or police report. The Dahua name also means firmware updates and wide recorder support, unlike unbranded units. For a home gate or single shop, it pairs sharp footage with a low entry price.
How far can the Dahua IPC-T1E49 recognise a person or number plate?
With the 2.8mm lens, the Dahua IPC-T1E49 detects a person up to 64 metres away and observes general activity at 25.6 metres. It recognises a known face at 12.8 metres and identifies fine detail, such as a number plate, at 6.4 metres. These figures follow the EN-62676-4 DORI standard used across the security trade. For reading plates at a gate, mount the camera within 6 metres of the entry point for the clearest identification.
Technical Specifications
Image Sensor and Resolution
- 1/3-inch 4-megapixel CMOS sensor captures fine detail for reading faces, logos, and number plates on playback
- Native 2560 x 1440 resolution doubles the pixel count of common 1080p cameras for sharper zoomed footage
- Up to 30 frames per second keeps fast movement across doorways and driveways smooth without motion blur
- Minimum illumination of 0.008 lux in colour and 0.0008 lux in black-and-white holds a picture in near darkness
- Signal-to-noise ratio above 56 dB keeps the image clean with little grain in low light
- DWDR, HLC, and BLC balance bright and dark areas so backlit doorways stay readable
Lens and Coverage Area
- Fixed 2.8mm lens gives a wide 94-degree horizontal field, covering a full room or shop forecourt
- F1.6 aperture lets in more light, helping the sensor perform after dusk and in shaded corners
- 111-degree diagonal view reduces blind spots so one camera watches a wider area than narrow-lens units
- DORI detection range reaches 64 metres, letting you spot activity well across a yard or parking area
- Recognition distance of 12.8 metres identifies a familiar face near a gate or entrance
- Pan, tilt, and rotation adjustment during mounting aims the view exactly where coverage is needed
Dual Light Night Vision
- Dahua Dual Light combines infrared and warm white LEDs for two ways to cover darkness
- Infrared reaches 30 metres for quiet black-and-white monitoring that draws little attention at night
- Warm white light reaches 15 metres, switching on to capture full-colour video when a person is detected
- Full-colour night footage shows clothing shades and skin tones that plain infrared cameras render as grey
- Automatic light switching reduces glare and light pollution while keeping key events in colour
- Manual light modes let you fix infrared or white light to suit a shop, driveway, or street
Video Encoding and Recording
- H.265, H.265+, H.264, and H.264+ codecs cut file sizes so recorders store more days of footage
- Two simultaneous streams let a recorder save high resolution while a phone views a lighter feed
- Video bit rate runs from 12 kbps to 4096 kbps, balancing picture quality against storage and bandwidth
- 3D noise reduction cleans up grain in low light, keeping night recordings clearer and smaller in size
- Motion detection across four zones and human detection cut false alarms from trees, pets, and shadows
- Region-of-interest coding keeps chosen areas sharp while saving space on less important parts of the frame
Network, Power, and Remote Access
- RJ-45 10/100 network port carries video to any ONVIF Profile S and Profile T recorder
- 12V DC or PoE power runs the camera and data over a single cable for tidy installation
- Wide-voltage tolerance of around 30 percent keeps the camera stable where mains supply fluctuates upcountry
- Dahua DMSS mobile app on iOS and Android streams live video and playback from anywhere with internet
- PSS Lite, DSS, and DoLynk Care software manage the camera and recordings from a computer
- Footage saves to a connected NVR or via FTP [SPEC CONFLICT: some Kenyan resellers list an onboard microSD card slot; the official Dahua datasheet lists FTP/network storage only. Confirm microSD support per shipment before stating.]
Build, Weatherproofing, and Audio
- IP67 rating resists heavy dust and water immersion up to 1 metre deep for 30 minutes
- Compact dome housing mounts under eaves, on gateposts, or on indoor ceilings without drawing attention
- Built-in microphone records audio alongside video, adding context such as voices or engine noise
- Audio detection can trigger an alarm event, flagging unusual sound at a counter or entrance
