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

So this is our second monitor as we had a different monitor for our first baby. We decided on this monitor because the reviews are excellent. I gave the monitor a 4 star instead of a 5 star for two reasons. The first, I would have preferred a little bit larger screen. That said, the camera quality is so good that it isnt that big of a deal. The second reason is although there is this really cool feature called sleep where you can turn the monitor screen off but still have sound pumping through the monitor, there is a bright light on the side of the monitor that ends up being worse than having the picture on the screen on all night. Otherwise, we have really enjoyed the monitor. It was a breeze to set up and like I already said, the picture/camera quality is excellent.

We love this camera! It is so clear, has great battery life and distance the signal can be picked up. So if I need to do some gardening or clean out my car while the kids nap I can do that knowing that I will be able to hear them if they wake and check on them through video. We have had one camera for almost 4 years now. We bought a second when #2 was born and the older one works just as great as the new one does!

We had the original monitor and camera unit and decided to purchase a second camera for our new baby. Quality is great, pairing the two cameras with the single monitor was easy. It switches back and forth between the two rooms with ease, about every ten seconds. Its worked very well for us and Im very pleased with this product for the years weve been using it. And, the icing on the cake, Infant Optics has AMAZING customer service. They are always willing to help with any concerns and are super fast to respond to any questions. I love this product and this company. Would highly recommend!

These camera are great. Easy to connect to the monitor. Picture quality is decent. It alerts through the monitor the temp of the room and sounds an alarm if the room it’s too hot. I’ve bought multiple for my house, been using it since 2018. The monitor it pairs to runs via Bluetooth and has a scan feature so it’ll switch between all the cameras making it easy to monitor multiple rooms with sleeping kids at a time.

I have two of these cameras for monitoring my baby. They cameras were easy to set up and the monitor is easy to use. Within the first year one of the two cameras stopped working properly. The night time sensors stopped working so we could not see the picture clearly in the dark. We contacted the company for a replacement because it was within the warranty period and the provided us a replacement that works great. The process to exchange the camera was very easy and the new camera arrived two days after we shipped out the defective unit. The only issue was the company did not provide a shipping box for us to send back the defective unit in and we had to send out the old unit before they would ship the replacement. So we had go without a camera to monitor our baby for two days which is something that I think is really unacceptable to ask parents to do. The company should really ship out the replacement first along with a return box and just require the defective unit to be returned within 30 days. Many other companies do this so I know it’s possible. The camera works great and if there is a problem the company will help you resolve it, I just can’t give a 5 star review because the company asked us to go without a way to watch our baby for those two days.

This is our second purchase of these cameras. We bought one for our daughter and an add on camera when our son was born. We love it and it’s easy to use. We like that it does not require Wi-Fi. Great quality product. We are able to scan from camera to camera to view our children at night. Sound quality is great too.

Dont trust the 5 star reviews. I bought this because there were so many 5 star reviews, but I found out later it was because the company offered a lot of people a free 2nd camara in exchange for 5 stars. Its still a decent set up, but not 5 stars, and not worth the price. The night Camara isnt too bad, but Ive seen better ones from friends and wish Id shopped around a little more. The reception isnt great, and it gets spotty even just being a few rooms away from the nursery. It routinely tells me its out of range, even if I havent moved the monitor. Weve checked wifi and other possible reasons for interference. The sound is also spotty, and most of the time its not bad, but it cuts in and out quite often. I like the feature of being able to add other cameras, and if you have it set to scan it will go back and forth between the two cameras, but it doesnt stay on one camera if baby is crying, which is kinda annoying. I love being able to control the camara and having such a wide area to scan. It comes with a zoom lens that you have to exchange with the normal lense, unscrewing and screwing back on, which is hassle, but at least it has the option. Overall, its not bad. I just wish Id I vested in something else.

The camera and monitor are easy to setup and use, and they work very well keeping an eye on things. I had a technical issue as well and had to call email customer support, and they were amazing with quick, friendly responses, but best of all, doing great work helping resolve my issue, so everything is good now. Definitely I recommend the camera and monitor because of the product quality and customer service!

I have had this camera/additional camera for the play for for a little over 2 years. The night vision on one of the cameras started to became extremely dark, we were unable to see our son. I immediately contacted Infant Optics. They asked me a few basic questions, had me try 2 things -- and when those didnt work they rush shipped me a brand new one. No further questions asked. We were unsure if we wanted to keep this monitoring system with another baby on the way, but after this experience and our overall love of this product we will ABSOLUTELY be keeping this monitoring system. Not only is their customer service fantastic, the product is beyond everything a parent could hope for. The range on the bluetooth is also extremely convenient.

Infant Optics is the best in customer service! I got this baby monitor as a gift for my shower after putting it on my registry based on the reviews. I used it for a little over a year (and loved it!) before the night vision on the camera unit stopped working. I was frustrated because I was just about to buy a second camera unit to use for my second child. I emailed support to help me troubleshoot the issue, and after trying various solutions, nothing had worked. We realized that it wasn’t something I could fix from home, but I was out of the warranty period. Even so, they offered to replace my camera unit (at no cost to me) as a courtesy. The customer service agent was super accommodating and the interaction was very positive. I would definitely recommend their products to everyone!
