Mascom International stocks the Dahua VDKP01-BG at KSh 8,300, brand new and sealed: a 2K wired video doorbell kit that pairs a weatherproof camera button with an indoor Wi-Fi chime. The doorbell records at 2560 by 1440 pixels through a 2.3mm lens with a 120-degree horizontal view, wide enough to show a visitor from head to toe plus the parcel at their feet. Infrared night vision reaches 10 metres, and an IP65 rating lets the Dahua VDKP01-BG handle rain and dust at the door. Find it at our shop in the Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, ready to test before you buy.
Built for homeowners, apartment residents, landlords and busy professionals across Kenya, the Dahua VDKP01-BG solves a daily problem: knowing who is at the door before you open it. When a delivery rider, a fundi or a stranger presses the button, the chime rings inside and your phone shows a live video call through Dahua's DMSS app. You can talk to them from an office in Upper Hill or a matatu stuck on Thika Road. AI human and vehicle detection also sends alerts when someone lingers outside without ringing.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell battery doorbells that need recharging every few weeks, Mascom International offers the wired Dahua VDKP01-BG, which runs from your existing doorbell wiring or a 5V USB supply. Buyers throughout Kenya report that a wired doorbell is the one gadget they never have to think about after setup. The Dahua VDKP01-BG stores clips on a microSD card of up to 256GB, so there is no monthly cloud fee. Walk into our Kimathi Street shop to try the chime, or order on WhatsApp with pay-on-arrival delivery.
Common Questions About the Dahua VDKP01-BG
How much does the Dahua VDKP01-BG video doorbell cost in Kenya?
The Dahua VDKP01-BG costs KSh 8,300 at Mascom International in Nairobi, brand new and sealed, and the price covers both the doorbell and the Wi-Fi chime. You also get a 12-month warranty, free use of the DMSS app, and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. A microSD card for local recording is sold separately. There is no subscription to pay, because the Dahua VDKP01-BG saves footage to the card rather than to a paid cloud plan. Wiring help is available on WhatsApp if your door has no existing bell.
Should I get the Dahua VDKP01-BG or an indoor Wi-Fi camera for home security?
Get the Dahua VDKP01-BG if your main concern is who comes to the door, and an indoor cube camera if you want to watch inside rooms. The doorbell has an IP65 weather rating, a call button and 2K resolution at 2560 by 1440. The Dahua IPC-C5AP-0280B costs KSh 3,450 but is built for indoor use only. Many households in Nairobi fit both: the doorbell at the gate and a cube camera in the sitting room. Both run on one DMSS account.
How is the Dahua VDKP01-BG powered, and does it work during KPLC power cuts?
The Dahua VDKP01-BG is wired, drawing power from existing doorbell wiring at 10-24V DC or 14-24V AC, or from a 5V 2A USB supply. It has no internal battery, so it switches off during a KPLC outage unless its power source sits on a UPS or inverter. The indoor chime plugs into 100-240V mains, which suits Kenya's 240V supply. Many homes with solar backup simply connect the doorbell transformer to the backed-up circuit. Its low draw barely affects backup runtime.
Can the Dahua VDKP01-BG handle rain and dust at a Kenyan gate?
Yes, Dahua rates the Dahua VDKP01-BG doorbell at IP65, meaning it is sealed against dust and protected from water jets. Long rains in Nairobi, red dust in Machakos and dry heat in Garissa all fall within its rating. It works from -20°C to 55°C, covering any Kenyan climate. The chime is an indoor unit and stays inside the house. A small canopy over the doorbell still helps keep the lens clear of raindrops during heavy storms and keeps direct afternoon sun off the casing.
What happens when a visitor presses the Dahua VDKP01-BG button?
When a visitor presses the Dahua VDKP01-BG button, the indoor chime rings and the DMSS app on your phone receives a call alert. Answer it to see the visitor live and speak to them through the built-in microphone and speaker. You can tell a rider to leave a package with the caretaker, or turn away a stranger without opening the gate. The chime lets you change ringtones and volume, so it suits a quiet bedroom or a busy compound. Calls reach every phone you add to the account.
Who should buy the Dahua VDKP01-BG, and who should choose something else?
The Dahua VDKP01-BG is right for owners and long-term tenants who can run wiring or a USB cable to the door. Choose something else if you rent short-term and cannot drill or wire anything, because this kit needs a steady power line. A battery-powered doorbell fits that situation better. If you need to cover a whole compound or parking area, a wired outdoor CCTV camera kit does that job better than any doorbell. Ask our team which fits your property before buying.
How much footage can the Dahua VDKP01-BG store on a memory card?
A 256GB microSD card holds about 69 hours of continuous Dahua VDKP01-BG video at its highest bit rate of 8,192 kbps. Most owners record only when motion is detected or the button is pressed, so the same card then lasts weeks or months. H.265 compression keeps each clip small. Because footage stays on the card at your door, nobody outside your home stores your video, and Mascom International stocks suitable cards in several sizes.
Does the Dahua VDKP01-BG work on a Safaricom or Airtel home router?
The Dahua VDKP01-BG connects to any router that broadcasts 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, including Safaricom Home Fibre, Airtel Kenya 5G home routers, Zuku and Faiba. It uses Wi-Fi 6, the 802.11ax standard, and pairs through Bluetooth inside the DMSS app, so setup takes a few minutes. The doorbell sits outside, often behind a stone wall, so check signal strength at the door first. A Wi-Fi extender fixes weak coverage in larger compounds. The chime also needs Wi-Fi, so place it within range indoors.
Technical Specifications
Sensor and Image Quality
- 2K resolution at 2560 by 1440 pixels — sharp enough to read a face or a courier's uniform at the door, day or night.
- 1/3-inch CMOS sensor — the chip that captures light, sized for clear day footage and clean night images with little grain.
- DWDR wide dynamic range — balances a bright street behind the visitor with the shaded face in front.
- Automatic colour, black-and-white and ICR modes — switches to infrared at dusk and back to colour at dawn, with no settings needed.
- Image rotation of 0 or 180 degrees — keeps the picture upright however the doorbell is mounted on a gate post or wall.
Lens and Field of View
- 2.3mm fixed lens at F2.2 — a short focal length that takes in a wide scene right in front of the door, with nothing to focus.
- 120-degree horizontal view — covers the doorstep from side to side, including anyone standing off to one side.
- 66-degree vertical view — shows a visitor's face and their hands, so you see what a caller is carrying.
- 143-degree diagonal view — the widest measure across the frame, capturing more of the porch, steps or gate.
- Two infrared LEDs reaching 10 metres — invisible light shows the visitor clearly even when the security light is off or broken.
Video Recording and Detection
- H.265 and H.264 compression — H.265 halves file sizes, so memory cards hold more days of recordings before overwriting.
- Main stream at 1 to 15 frames per second — enough to follow a person walking up and pressing the button at the gate.
- Bit rate from 32 to 8,192 kbps — lower settings save card space, higher settings keep every detail for later review.
- AI human and vehicle detection — alerts arrive when a person or car stops at the gate, even without a ring or knock.
- Motion detection with four custom zones — mark the doorstep and ignore the busy road and passing boda bodas beyond the gate.
Storage and Power
- microSD slot for cards up to 256GB — about 69 hours of continuous recording at the highest bit rate, with no cloud fee.
- Wired power from 10-24V DC or 14-24V AC — connects to standard doorbell transformer wiring already fitted in many Kenyan homes.
- Alternative 5V 2A USB power — runs from a phone-style adapter where no doorbell wiring exists yet.
- 1.7W to 2.2W typical draw depending on supply — cheap to run all day and easy to keep alive on a small UPS.
- Chime powered from 100-240V mains — plugs straight into Kenya's 240V supply and uses under 5W.
Connectivity and Chime
- Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) on 2.4GHz for doorbell and chime — joins almost any Kenyan home router without changing settings.
- Bluetooth pairing in the DMSS app — your phone finds the doorbell nearby and passes on the Wi-Fi details for you.
- Built-in microphone and speaker for two-way talk — speak to visitors from anywhere through the DMSS app on Android or iOS.
- Indoor chime with adjustable ringtones and volume — choose a soft tone for a nursery or a loud one for a big house or maisonette.
- IP65-rated doorbell body, 135 by 45 by 24.2mm and 110 grams — slim enough for a narrow door frame or pillar.
