Dahua NVR1108HS-8P-S3/H is an 8-channel network video recorder with 8 built-in PoE ports, 80Mbps recording bandwidth, and H.265+ compression, now available at Mascom International for KSh 12,500. It records up to 8 cameras at resolutions reaching 8MP and stores footage on one internal SATA hard drive. You will find the Dahua NVR1108HS-8P-S3/H at our store inside Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. This compact 1U recorder ships brand new and sealed, ready for same-day pickup or countrywide delivery to your home or business premises.
The Dahua NVR1108HS-8P-S3/H suits shop owners along Tom Mboya Street, landlords running rental flats in Kasarani and Rongai, and small office managers in Westlands who need a clear record of who came and went. Many Nairobi businesses struggle with cabling costs and tangled power supplies for cameras. This recorder solves that by sending both data and power through one network cable per camera. Schools, churches, hardware stores, and residential gates across Kenya use this exact unit to watch entrances, stockrooms, and parking areas without a technician on standby.
At Mascom International, we are seeing strong demand for the Dahua NVR1108HS-8P-S3/H from buyers upgrading from old analogue DVRs to sharper IP cameras. Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya, we let you test the unit, confirm the live view on HDMI, and check PoE camera detection before you pay. The Dahua NVR1108HS-8P-S3/H ships with pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. Visit our Nairobi CBD store, call us, or order online, and inspect the recorder in person before any money changes hands.
Common Questions About the Dahua NVR1108HS-8P-S3/H network video recorder
What does the Dahua NVR1108HS-8P-S3/H actually do?
It records video from up to 8 IP cameras and saves that footage onto an internal hard drive for later review. The 8 PoE ports feed power and data to each camera through one cable, so you do not buy separate power adapters or run extra wiring. You watch live feeds on a TV or monitor through HDMI or VGA, search recordings by date and time, and view everything remotely on your phone. It works as the central brain of a small camera system for a home, shop, or office.
How many cameras can I connect to this NVR?
You connect up to 8 cameras, and all 8 PoE ports supply power directly, removing the need for separate camera power units. Total PoE output reaches 72W across the unit, with a single port pushing up to 25.5W, enough for standard bullet and dome IP cameras plus most cameras with motors that pan and tilt. For a typical Nairobi shop covering the till, entrance, stockroom, and back door, four to six cameras is common, leaving room to expand later without buying new hardware.
What camera resolution does the Dahua NVR1108HS-8P-S3/H support?
It supports cameras up to 8MP, also called 4K, and handles 5MP, 4MP, 3MP, 1080P, 720P, D1, and CIF resolutions. Higher resolution means you can read a number plate at the gate or a face at the counter. The recorder decodes one 8MP camera at 30 frames per second, or four 1080P cameras at 30 frames per second together. For most Kenyan shops and homes, 2MP to 4MP cameras give a clear picture while keeping hard drive use sensible.
Can I view my cameras on my phone while away from the premises?
Yes. The Dahua NVR1108HS-8P-S3/H supports P2P remote viewing through the Dahua DMSS mobile app on Android and iPhone. You scan a QR code during setup, and the cameras appear on your phone over Safaricom, Airtel, or home WiFi. A landlord in Eldoret can check a rental gate from Nairobi, and a shop owner travelling to Mombasa watches the till in real time. Remote playback lets you scroll back through recorded footage from anywhere with a data connection, not just live feeds.
How much storage does this NVR need and is a hard drive included?
The unit holds one SATA hard drive, which you buy separately based on how long you want to keep footage. A 1TB drive stores roughly two to three weeks of continuous recording from four 2MP cameras, while a 4TB drive stretches that to about two months. The H.265+ compression cuts storage use heavily, so you keep more days of footage on the same drive. Mascom International stocks surveillance-rated hard drives, and our team helps you size the drive to your camera count and recording days.
Why choose this over a cheaper analogue DVR system?
This is a true IP network recorder, so it captures sharper footage than old analogue DVR kits that top out around 2MP with softer images. The 8 PoE ports cut your wiring and power costs because one cable does both jobs per camera. Setup is faster, image quality at the gate or counter is clearer, and you can read details that analogue blur hides. For businesses moving from grainy old systems, the Dahua NVR1108HS-8P-S3/H is the practical bridge to modern surveillance at a fair price.
Does it work with cameras from other brands?
Yes. The Dahua NVR1108HS-8P-S3/H accepts third-party cameras through the ONVIF and RTSP standards, so you are not locked to Dahua-only cameras. That said, Dahua IP cameras pair fastest and unlock every feature, and pairing happens automatically within about two minutes of connecting a Dahua camera to a PoE port. If you already own ONVIF cameras, our Mascom International team confirms compatibility before purchase so you avoid surprises during installation at your home or business.
How hard is the Dahua NVR1108HS-8P-S3/H to set up myself?
It is built for self-setup with mouse-driven menus on the new UI 4.0 interface, shown on any HDMI or VGA monitor. Plug Dahua cameras into the PoE ports and they pair automatically, usually within two minutes. You set recording schedules, motion detection zones, and remote access through clear on-screen steps. Many Kenyan shop owners install it without a technician. If you prefer support, Mascom International guides you through first-time setup at our Nairobi CBD desk before you take it home.
