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

This camera was perfect for our first kid! However, it’s not ideal for two kids. We bought the extra camera, and connecting to the monitor was very easy. The part that I don’t like is the “scan” feature which is supposed to go back and forth between the kids room and it does just that but not all the time. I’ll set it on scan when I put our kids to bed, and an hour later it will stop scanning and just stay on whichever room it was on. I found this out the hard way when I couldn’t hear my new baby crying cause the “scan” was stuck on my toddlers room. It will still say it’s in scan, but it’s not scanning. So before I go to bed I have to just put it on the babies room. Thankfully 99% of the time my toddler sleeps through the night. It’s annoying that it doesn’t scan all the time. If I would have know this I would of bought a split screen monitor system.

I swear by these cameras. We bought one camera and monitor when we had our first baby. We just bought a second camera for our other babies room. The monitor scan’s between the two camera. Easy plug and play. We’ve taken them on vacation with us. No need to be connected to wifi, no set up needed.

One note that I didn’t realize is that on the monitor you can press OK to toggle between scan and cameras rather than having to go through menu.

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.

Originally had an issue with the first add on camera.. the sound was not working. I contacted the company via their website and they quickly sent me a new one (and I of course returned the original). Quick and Excellent customer service.

This has been a great monitor and I would recommend purchasing! We used our first one for over a year; then we started having visibility issues. After contacting the company, they sent us a replacement and all I had to do was pay for shipping the old one back. We have purchased two cameras total and have been happy with our purchase. Night vision is great as well as day vision. I cant say enough positive things about the customer service when we had to contact them about the first one that started having issues. I highly recommend purchasing this camera.

This is the3rd or 4th monitor we have purchased, 2nd recently (2 prior were many years ago!). Did a lot of research and had ordered another monitor, comet o find out it was as straightforward as synching a space mission... Needless to say, we returned it because as a mom with a newborn the LAST thing I want to do is have to rely on someone else to help me set up the cameras, beeping sound were annoying and eventually would bother baby and me... Did MUCH MORE research and landed on this monitor! WE LOVE IT! Easy to set up, functional, intuitive and VOILA, cameras are ready and dont unpair!! Like I said, Peace of mind and even use the other camera to help see my older kiddos while I am with baby. HIGHLY RECOMMEND for newborns, older babies or kiddos. We also bought the wide angle lens. The whole experience has been night and day compared to the summer monitor we had bought. Good luck!

We have 2 cameras and one monitor for our two kids. We love the monitor especially for the talk function where we can talk back and forth with our toddler through the monitor with this camera. Using a second camera while maintaining only 1 monitor has been very convenient for us. We have been very impressed with the customer service. We had an issue with our power cord to the camera, and they replied very promptly to us and rectified the situation very well. This camera (along with the monitor) is definitely worth the price both in function and customer service if anything is needed in the future.

I’ve had this system for 2 years now. I originally bought the camera and monitor but when my son got older and became a toddler we bought a second camera with a wide angle lens for the playroom. This system has worked great for us with little problems. I did have to replace the charger after a year as it didn’t work. But the battery itself was fine. My only complaint is that it doesn’t reach as far as it says. My sons room is upstairs on the opposite side of our 3600sq ft home from our master bedroom, and sometimes if I put my phone next to the monitor at night it will beep that it is out of range. Might just be the walls, but we also can’t walk past our neighbors house and watch either. We like to go over for a drink after bedtime to the house directly nextdoor to us (and our houses are like 10 feet apart). It works but only in certain parts of their house.

I got this camera on cyber Monday while I was pregnant for a great price. They arent on sale every year but I paid full price to add an additional camera to the circuit, its worth it. I read so many reviews and the quality and customer service seemed to be the best. The battery is decent but youll want to leave it plugged in if you are using it overnight when baby is in another room. If used just for naps we charge the monitor once or twice a week. It has a good range, its still connected 3 floors down. The only weird thing is if your phone is close to the monitor, the wifi messes with the signal I think. Reasonable camera cord length. Weve had this system for 6 months and it works great, I highly recommend it.
