Infant Optics DXR-8 PRO Video Baby Monitor, 720P HD Resolution 5 Display, Patent-Pending A.N.R. (Active Noise Reduction), Pan Tilt Zoom, and Optical Zoom Lens

I liked this product until all the buttons on the monitor started glitching. Now some buttons don’t work and others work for the wrong things. Nothing happened to the monitor to make this problem occur. Very disappointed as I basically can’t use any of the buttons or even do the factory reset because I can’t get there.

I have been a baby sitter for almost 5 years with different families and so far this is the BEST monitor I have used. Now that I am having a baby I obviously bought it for the baby room and I love it!!! The picture quality is great even if you do zoom in, it reduce all the noise in the room and I love that it does not need a Wi-Fi connection.

Thrilled I finally found a camera and monitor that works! I had to purchase a new monitor that was compatible with 2 cameras after having my second child since our first system didn’t have an available 2nd camera. This is my 4th camera duo purchase and I was starting to think I would never find one that worked. This thankfully is great!!! The reviews on the previous purchases all seemed great but this people either had low standards or just totally lied. This is worth the money! Pros: - night vision is great and very clear -you can still hear the volume when the camera monitor is on standby mode and dark to conserve battery - using 2 cameras it is easy to toggle between each camera and they do not go offline (which my last purchase did ALL the time) - battery life on the monitor has been impressive but I have kept screen on standby mode majority of the time since I can still hear - monitor is a great size. And not having to be connected to Wi-Fi makes it feel more secure CONS: -the monitor takes a specific post type charger so you can’t use any USB C or micro USB that you probably have dozens of around your house and will have to keep up with the one charger

This is by far the BEST baby monitor we’ve used. The picture is so clear, and it isn’t automatically zoomed in close where it’s hard to position it correctly (our Motorola one did this and it was so frustrating). The two-way speaker is pretty instant and the sound is clear without static or pause. We love it!!!

When we had our first baby two years ago, we received the DXR-8 as a baby shower gift and have been using it every night since. As we are expecting our second child, we were debating between getting a second webcam or trying a different monitoring system. We happened to find out that Infant Optics had an upgraded product and decided to give it a try since we really liked using and were familiar with the previous version. Pros: - Night vision is so much better with the Pro due to the higher resolution. I can make out features through the crib railings when it was blurrier before. - Larger screen that allows me view the whole crib now (webcam about 8 feet away from the crib). With the previous version, I would have to move the webcam left and right since my child has a tendency to roll around the crib throughout the night. -Menu options are almost the same as the previous version. The options have a small detailed description about what it does instead of having to find the owners manual to see what each options are. The Pro has dedicated volume and brightness buttons which is convenient in the middle of the night. -There is a noise canceling option which has been working for us so far. We normally play white noise (via google mini within a feet of the webcam) in my childs room and even though it says not to use it at the same time, I can still hear when he cries out and not hear the static from the white noise with the option turned off. Cons: - Our monitor unit arrived with pieces of plastic underneath the screen, but we have been in contact with Infant Optics and are getting a replacement sent. - The monitor charger is no longer a micro USB but rather a barrel jack type power supply. It was convenient to have micro USB as the charger for plugging in the monitor as that type of input is common. Overall, I would definitely recommend this product for those that dont want to have an internet based/network baby monitoring system. I will update how it works with two webcams when Baby#2 arrives.

I LOVE the 8pro camera and monitor. Its everything we need with great sound and video quality. Its been 8 months since my baby was born and we have used the cam for only about 4 months of it. Today, only 4 months in the monitor stopped turning on. I have ordered an infant optics certified battery replacement to see if that is the issue - hoping that fixes it because we love this camera!

100% would purchase again! Great picture quality for day and night vision as well, and even without the special zoom lens you can zoom in and see the picture pretty well. What made me really love this brand/camera is the customer service. About two months after using the camera for some reason it would not turn on unless plugged in. It would be fully charged, but I’m guessing there was an issue with the power button or some kind of glitch. I reached out to customer service and after trying multiple things to help me figure out what was wrong, they sent me a brand new monitor free of charge next day! I did have to return the old/broken monitor but they also included prepaid shipping label which made it super easy to return. 10/10 would purchase again for quality of camera and excellent customer service.

We used the infant optics for the first year and a half with our son- during that time we ended up moving & we unfortunately lost it, so when we got pregnant with our second I knew immediately Id be purchasing the same monitor again for when baby #2 arrives in June! We went with the Pro this go around and its incredible!! If there is one product I recommend to moms, its this video monitor system! Im sure we will be purchasing a second camera in the near future as well!

A baby shower gift for a friends children

I have only had the monitor for one day so I can’t speak for its longevity, but I am pleased with its function so far and it was easy to set up. The battery does not hold a charge for very long, but if it is plugged in it works well. I had to maneuver the camera quite a bit to actually find the best place to put it to see the baby, but once I found him the image was good. It doesn’t use WiFi so I don’t have to worry about the video being accessible to anyone outside of my home. It was a little more expensive than I had anticipated, but if it holds up it will be worth the money. All in all, I am pleased.
