> 3 dayWe bought this camera because we were looking for a baby moniter that wasnt easy to hack into. We liked this because the video feed can only be seen on the moniter it comes with. The picture quality is pretty good. I wish the screen was a bit larger. The night vision is great, very crisp and clear. You can zoom in and move the camera to look around the room. Its nice to be able to move the camera to find the cat that snuck into babies room. This camera works great for what we use it for and it was a good price.

> 3 dayWe love this baby monitor so much. We started with the infant optics dxr-8 and upgraded to the pro once it came out. We added a second camera about 18 months ago when my son was born, but the monitor kept unpairing from both cameras. I contacted customer service and they helped me resolved the issue. Unfortunately the issue kept happening, but even though we were already 10 months outside of our warranty, Vanessa sent us a brand new monitor at no charge. I will forever speak highly of this company and their customer service.

> 3 dayThis monitor so much better than the Wi-Fi one that I also purchased from another company (Miku). I love that you can also turn off the display but still hear noise and see the sound level even if it is muted. Our camera did break after using it for almost a year. I emailed infant optics and they responded very quickly and sent another camera they arrived in less than a week. I shouldn’t have spent the money on a Wi-Fi camera because this one works so much better. It has been one of my favorite baby gear purchases. Definitely had some anxiety while we were waiting for our replacement. They have a year long warranty and they did a great job honoring it. I’ve never had such a good customer service experience before.

Greater than one weekBought this monitor a couple years ago and its been such a great tool that Ive gone back and purchased two additional cameras, mounts and lenses. The unit is easy to use and has a decent nighttime picture quality. I like that it has an ANR feature so I can have the volume turned all the way up without having to listen to the kids sound machines all night. The cameras are nice because they have different lenses you can switch out for different applications. I have a zoom lens for the babys crib thats good enough to see her breathing, and a wide angle for my toddlers room so I can catch him doing mischief without having to pan the camera all over. The power cords are long enough to be able to mount the cameras above the doorframe for a wider view. They work well with the adjustable angle mounts you can find on Amazon. The best feature so far though has been the customer service. My unit recently had an issue with a compressed button and they responded to my email in less than 24 hrs and sent me a replacement unit in less than a week.

> 3 dayWe’ve been using the previous version for the past three years, and have been super happy with it. Zero problems. But we’re about to have baby number 2, and we figured if we’re buying a new camera we might as well upgrade. We couldn’t be happier! The picture quality is amazing. Such an improvement, and the original wasn’t bad by any means! Works great in daylight, and the night vision is awesome too. Love that you can pan and zoom the camera remotely. We love that it doesn’t need WiFi to work too, because our internet isn’t super reliable. Could not be happier with this purchase.

> 3 dayIt’s such a great monitor and camera! And I love that I got it. The picture is nice and clear, especially the night vision. The reason I gave it a four star and not five is because in order for it to show color, you have to be in a very very bright room. The picture where the monitor is in color is in my living room that has a big window, however, it’s only in color because I have a bright light on also. Without the light on, it would show in black and white. Also, when I hit the talk button, the person in the room with the camera cannot hear me too well when I speak. I have to speak pretty loudly. Lastly, the monitor doesn’t last too long off of the charger. I say 6hrs max. Other than those issues, I really love this camera and monitor.

> 3 daySo firstly we had the previous model for our first daughter. Unit work fine no issues , then they came out with the DXR 8 Pro - we had another kid and ended up getting two cameras and the monitor - work really well , picture quality was/is great , just over a year or so our monitor started give issues , giving blank screen when we hit scan button . so i contact customer service to see what i could do , we try a few things but it continued to black out , Joseph E was super helpful both on the phone and via e-mail correspondence . Even though my unit was past the warranty period , they/he was willing to help me with the problem and sent us a new monitor and only required us to send the faulty unit back after receiving the new unit , which we gladly did . Got the new unit in two days. We/I was truly blow away by the customer service i/we received from Joseph E . It is a true example of people in the right job , going above and beyond the call of Duty. So big Kudos to him. Thank You, Sir !!!

Greater than one weekWe have used Infant Optics for 3 years now. We started with the DXR-8 baby monitor, and when it was dropped outside and broken, we switched to the DXR-8 Pro. We have 2 cameras for 2 children and they are so easy to connect. Recently we had an issue with the monitor itself not showing the children, it would just play audio. I contacted the Customer Support team with Infant Optics, and Emma C was AMAZING. She followed up with me multiple times after she helped me resolve the issue. After 2 months of this issue the monitor gave out (The monitor was 2 years old). Emma went above and beyond. She informed me that the monitor was no longer in warranty, but she still wanted to help me any way she could. After Sending her proof of purchase and the serial number she had a new monitor sent to me, the only thing that was not covered was the shipping back to the company, and battery was not included. Emma knew that with 2 children, I needed the broken monitor for audio, until the new one arrived. That is not how infant optics normally conducts business due to customers never sending back the monitors, but she made an exception. I have nothing but praises for this company, and product. I will be a lifetime customer, whether for myself or purchasing gifts for others.

> 3 dayUPDATE: After a few months the monitor was making some crackling noises. I emailed support and they were quick to respond and determine it wasnt something that could be fixed. They sent me out a new one right away. Very pleased with the customer service! Our DXR-8 was showing its age after 3 years of daily use, so we got this and Im loving the upgrade in camera quality! Images are of my older daughters room, both with the light on and off, with both units. The OG monitor worked great but even with the light on, it would often go into nighttime mode because it wouldnt detect enough light. The new camera doesnt have that problem and I can see so much more of the room! (I do use the wide angle lens in her room). But during the night on the OG monitor I couldnt see her in her bed, even though the camera points in that direction, I couldnt make out the bed in the corner of the monitor enough to see HER in it. Even with full brightness. But the plus has a much better view of the top bunk where she sleeps, even on the lowest brightness setting (which its set to in the picture). Ive loved this brands quality and the Plus is no exception! Worth the $300 (also bought the second camera)

> 3 dayThrilled 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
