Infant Optics Wide Angle Lens For DXR-8

Indeed, there is ZERO night vision when using this camera lens. Fortunately, you can still hear the kiddo if he wakes, but it makes the lens pretty darn useless.

Works perfectly. I didnt have any issues with the nighttime quality. Its one of the best images I have seen in a baby monitor. It zooms in and still has a clear image. I can see my daughter face so clearly to the point where I feel comfortable not being near her which is huge for me since she has had medical issues in the past. I need to be able to see her face clearly especially well she sleeps. This lens gives me that peace of mind. Im so tthankful for how much more zoomed in I get and how clear it is. Well worth every penny plus more.

With products like this it makes me wonder what we have been doing this whole time! Missing out, that’s what. Very rarely are we this satisfied with a product. So easy to install. Captures the entire room so we can keep track of our extremely active toddler. Can’t recommend this enough!

Definitely helps us see all three of our kids in their room when its mounted high enough. The problem is this lens isnt as crisp in the darkness as the original lense that came with our Infant Optics monitor. We hesitate to go back to the original because we like the wide angle, but it can be hard to make out details at night. We find ourselves staring a little too close at the monitor trying to figure out whos crying or moving around. 4 stars though because I like it.

The most important time for a camera to work for me is at night when the little one is sleeping. I can’t tell if his eyes are open or closed. If he has his pacifier. It’s not 50 feet away it’s super close to not work correctly. This lens isn’t very good for that. It’s blurry. The attached lens this camera comes with is great just a little too close but this one didn’t solve that problem. Not sure why it’s such bad night vision from 3 feet away.

I wanted to be able to see more of my daughter’s room. This does great for that! I can see almost her entire room now. During the daytime it’s great, but the nighttime quality is absolutely horrible. But, at 2.5, I really only need to see a soft outline of her, so it’s fine. Just annoying.

We purchased this to replace another popular monitor that frequently had connection issues, cord issues etc. This monitor was crazy easy to set up and has a clear image even at night! We are using foor an active toddler so the wife lens view is perfect for keeping an eye on him. The audio is also very clear and we use it to chat with him from downstairs...no more screaming up the stairs. Lol. Definitely would recommend.

This lens allows you to see the whole room which is nice. Now I can see the crib and rocking chair. With the other two lenses, I could only see half of the crib from where I was putting the camera.

Just got this today and I have to say its an instant game changer. Our playroom is long and it was impossible to keep my constantly moving toddler in frame. I put on this wide angle lens and I can see more than half the room on the monitor at a time. Its great! Its very clear when theres a lot of light and seems about as grainy as the regular lens so all in all a great improvement.

It’s a great concept and I installed it right away to use in my 3 year old sons room. He sometimes gets out of bed and goes to open his door or try to open the blinds on his window, and the regular lens isn’t wide enough so I have to pan to find him and he’s pretty fast. It works great if the room is light. But on night mode, it’s super blurry and grainy and I can’t see his face to be able to tell if he’s asleep. Even worse when zooming in. I understand the night mode isn’t as clear in general but it was even worse than the normal lens. It would be good to use for a playroom or something where you want to watch your kid in a large area and the lights will be on. But it’s useless in the dark if you want to be able to identify anything more than blurry shapes.
