Infant Optics DXR-8 Add-on Camera (Not Compatible with DXR-8 PRO)

We purchased this as a second camera for our Infant Optics DXR-8. It’s very easy to add cameras with this system. The picture and sound quality is excellent, and we can easily keep an eye on the kids via the monitor from all parts of house, including the basement. The range even includes our back patio. The battery life is much better than our previous monitor, which always needed to be plugged in after an hour or so. We did have an issue with the night vision degrading significantly after almost a year of use. However, the Infant Optics customer service rep I worked with was very understanding and replaced both our cameras, even the one we had lost the receipt for. After going to battle with a different manufacturer over our last monitor, I have to say it was a breath of fresh air to have a company simply do the right thing. We’re very satisfied with our purchase.

This was a gift for our new baby granddaughter. Her parents loved it!

Hands down this is the best baby monitor on the market and the best company. I had my first camera and monitor for 2 years- it has survived my toddler throwing it across the room multiple times when I had it sitting on his crib (it is now where he cant reach it). I love the thermometer on it, I look at it constantly- It made me realize my sons room had a heating/cooling problem that we had the HVAC company come out to correct. I love the how much it can turn- I can literally see my toddler in his room anywhere in his room when he gets out of bed and zoom in as close on my baby to even see him breathing. I now have a second child and bought the add on camera. I love the scan mode that it goes back and forth between cameras every few seconds. My monitor charging port broke a few weeks before my second son was born and wouldnt charge anymore, even though I was a year out of warranty Infant Optics replaced it free of charge. I received the replacement in 2 days too! I dont think I could survive without this camera.

I have had this monitor since my first child, 3years ago, and absolutely love it! The quality is the best I’ve seen of all my friends different brand monitors. The picture quality and sound is amazing. I love the ease of camera add on and how it scans my kids rooms. Customer service has always been extremely helpful when needing assistance! I would absolutely buy again and recommend to all new moms!

We have two cameras and one monitor. Weve been using them for about two months. Pros: - You can remotely move the camera. Great especially for toddlers who move around. Also you can mount the camera once and never have to touch it again, its always in the right place! - Good sound and picture quality. (Note there is no white noise deduction, though this doesnt bother me as much as I thought it would.) - Battery and transmission distance good. Although it seems like the battery will go from four bars to one really fast, it lasts for a while. - When you talk through the monitor the sound is clear. - You can zoom remotely. - Works well with multiple cameras, although no split screen you can set it to scan (switch views every 10 seconds). - Eady to use and great customer service! Cons: - There is no charging dock. Therefore it is easily to bend/damage the charging cable. Youll have to buy another. Also the plug is on the left side so depending which way you set it the cable can get in the way. - The low battery/no signal beep is annoyingly loud and you cant adjust it. There is no loud noise alert beep you just have to listen for crying. - The wide angle lens is great for viewing the entire room but the night vision quality with this lens is pretty bad. Night vision is fine with the other lenses.

I LOVE this camera! I bought an add-on because with two cameras I can now keep an eye on sons whereabouts. He recently transitioned from his crib to a toddler bed and it had been just that... a transitions (for us all). He LOVES the freedom he now has in his room, but in the process drives my husband and I crazy trying to keep an eye on him. Adding this camera was super easy (and the wide-angle lens only adds to how great this camera it). I highly recommend this camera system.

I bought this add on camera to go with my monitor that I was already using for my daughter, and this camera did not have the same picture quality as the one that came with the monitor. We tried to move it to different places all over the room, and nothing was helping the picture quality. It was very blurry and very pixilated. I contacted customer service, and I had to provide them with my proof of our purchase and a picture of the serial number of the camera, and send it back, and they are currently sending me a new camera. They even upgraded the shipping to two day shipping for me instead of having me wait the normal 5-7 business days. It was very easy to contact customer service and the representative that helped me couldn’t have been nicer. I hope this new camera will work better than the one I am sending back!

This monitor system was great for almost two years. For the last few weeks though, the buttons on the display unit have been less and less reactive. I had to push each button 2 to 3 times to get any kind of response. Around the same time, I started having problems getting it to charge.I had to use a rubber band to put pressure on the connection. I tried different chargers and even purchased a different battery to see if this would help. It did not. I contacted customer service and was told that it was out of warranty, but they did offer me a decent discount on a new monitor/camera set. I took them up on the offer, since I already had two cameras that still worked perfectly fine. I would have given this unit 5 stars, but I feel that 2 years is not long enough for the price.

We bought this monitor to replace a cheaper one that we absolutely hate. I was seeking a monitor that had clear picture and sound but also that allowed the screen brightness to dim or brighten as I like leaving the monitor on at night but hate how bright they are. I also needed a monitor that could show the whole darn crib. Our old one had a cord that was too short to raise the camera any further so there was no way to capture the entire crib. Seriously? So, needless to say, this one is a major and drastic improvement. I appreciate the large screen size, the ability to switch to different cameras, the ease of turning up and down the volume, the scan feature, the long length of the camera cord, and the ability to change screen brightness.

This baby monitor is hands down, much better than the Motorola camera I had prior, which cost nearly twice as much. Pros: -Amazing night vision, the photo attached is in a almost pitch black room yet I can still see my baby clearly. -Ability to add a wide angle lens, I like to use this one for the playroom so I can see more. -The zoom function also has really good clarity if you want to get a closer look at something. -The battery is SO GOOD. I have had this thing for over a year now and the battery still lasts hours just like the first time I had it. It can go a good 8-10 hours without being plugged in if you dont have the screen on. -Easily add additional cameras, then you can have it continually scan through the various screens or just choose the one you want to stay on I cant really think of any cons for this monitor. I had an issue with one of my cameras after it was dropped and had to deal with their customer service and they were very responsive and helpful with the issue. I also think theres a lot to be said for buying a monitor from a company whose sole focus is baby monitors and not other products. This really is top notch and if youre thinking about buying one just go for it, you wont be disappointed.
