Homeowners, shopkeepers, landlords, and small business owners across Kenya pick the Dahua P5B-PV to watch gates, compounds, and storefronts on a budget. The common problem is a fixed camera that misses movement just outside its frame. This Dahua camera solves that by panning and tilting on command or tracking a detected person automatically. Apartment owners in Kilimani, hardware shops along River Road, and homestead owners upcountry use it to check live footage from a phone anywhere with data.

Unlike many budget Wi-Fi cameras sold in Kenya that lose colour at night, the Dahua P5B-PV uses warm-light and infrared illuminators reaching 30 metres. Users consistently report clear faces and number plates after dark. At Mascom International, we stock the P5B-PV ready for same-day Nairobi delivery and pay-on-arrival across all 47 counties. Walk into our Kimathi Street store to test the pan, tilt, and two-way talk before you buy.

The Dahua P5B-PV records 5-megapixel video at 2880x1620 resolution through a 1/3-inch CMOS sensor. The fixed 3.6mm lens covers an 78-degree horizontal field, wide enough for a gate and driveway together. Motorised movement adds 355 degrees of side-to-side pan and 90 degrees of up-and-down tilt. That combination lets one unit cover a full compound that would normally need two fixed cameras. Footage stays sharp enough to read faces and vehicle plates within useful range.

The Dahua P5B-PV carries two infrared LEDs and two warm-light LEDs, each reaching up to 30 metres. Infrared mode produces clear black-and-white footage in total darkness without alerting an intruder. Warm-light mode keeps full colour at night, useful for identifying clothing and number plates. The camera switches automatically based on light levels, or you can set it to trigger the warm light only when motion is detected. This keeps your Nairobi compound visible through every hour.

Yes. The Dahua P5B-PV uses human and vehicle detection to follow a moving target automatically across its pan-and-tilt range. When it spots a person, the camera rotates to keep them in frame and sends an alert to your phone through the DMSS app. Detection filters out swaying trees and passing cats, cutting the false alarms that plague cheaper motion-only cameras. A sound and light alarm can trigger on detection to warn off an intruder before they reach your door.

The Dahua P5B-PV connects over Wi-Fi 6 to your home or shop router for steady streaming with less interference on crowded networks. You then view live footage and recordings remotely through the DMSS phone app over any data connection, including Safaricom, Airtel, and Telkom mobile data. Bluetooth pairing makes first-time setup quick from your phone. Once connected, you check your compound from Westlands, Kisumu, or anywhere with a signal, no monthly subscription required.

The Dahua P5B-PV records to a microSD card slotted directly into the camera, so there are no cloud fees. A 128GB card holds several days of motion-triggered H.265 footage, and the camera overwrites the oldest clips when full. H.265 compression cuts file sizes by roughly half versus older formats, stretching storage further on the same card. You can also pull live and saved video onto a Dahua NVR if you later expand to a multi-camera setup at your premises.

The Dahua P5B-PV includes a built-in microphone and speaker for real-time two-way talk through the DMSS app. You speak to a delivery rider at your gate from the office, or warn off someone loitering at your storefront after hours. Shopkeepers use it to greet customers or instruct a watchman remotely. The abnormal sound detection feature also listens for breaking glass or shouting and sends an alert, adding an audio layer to your security beyond video alone.

The Dahua P5B-PV carries an IP65 rating, meaning it resists dust fully and withstands water jets from any direction. That covers the heavy short rains in Nairobi, coastal humidity in Mombasa, and dusty conditions upcountry. Mount it under an eave for longer life, though it survives direct exposure. The plastic housing keeps weight low for easy wall mounting on brick or timber. This durability suits Kenyan outdoor use where weather swings between hot sun and sudden downpours.

At KSh 6,500, the Dahua P5B-PV gives you pan, tilt, colour night vision, human tracking, and Wi-Fi 6 at a price most fixed cameras match without the movement. Mascom International backs it with a 12-month warranty and pay-on-arrival delivery, so you inspect the camera before paying a shilling. Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya, we let you test the pan, tilt, and night modes in-store first. Our Nairobi CBD desk handles setup questions and warranty claims directly.
