Infant Optics Wide Angle Lens For DXR-8

I normally dont write reviews, but my experience with this company was one of the best! My monitor broke after 17 months of buying it. I contacted their customer service and they worked very patiently with me to see if it could be fixed. It couldnt so they replaced my old monitor and shipped me a brand new one for free even though I was out of the 1 year warranty period! They even shipped it out in 2 days! I love using their monitors to check on my kids! The image is very clear and the temperature reading is a nice feature!

I ordered this when I ordered the monitor. Picture quality is not as good as with the regular or zoom lens however it says such in the manual. But it is better than I expected when I tried it. I have an 18 month old and this helps me keep track of her without having to move the view of the camera back and forth. I love it and am glad I added it onto my purchase.

We have this monitor in a room with a toddler in a toddler bed. He is able to get out of the bed on his own. With this lens on the baby monitor, we can see almost the entire room, and hear him, too. It is super-awesome! The night mode gives a green picture and is sometimes grainy, but pretty OK given that it is really dark in the room.

It’s a lens. What does it ask about battery life for? I love it. Does it’s job well.

The wide lens isnt that much wider than the standard. So Im not sure that I would have ordered it had I known. The night vision isnt truly night vision. You still need a significant amount of light to see anything in the dark. Maybe in the home setting it is fine. But I use it in my goat barn during kidding season to watch for babies being born. I have to leave all the lights on in the barn to see anything after dark.

Degrades the quality vs the normal lens. Its ok for daytime though

Works as advertised on our camera.

This wide-angle lens really does significantly increase your field of vision for the Infant Optics camera. During the day, it provides a great quality picture, but night time is a different story. In total darkness, you will barely see anything especially if the crib or bed is situated some distance away from the camera. With other light sources or another camera in the room, the situation is improved, but buyers should be aware of this. I would still recommend the lens though.

This was such a great purchase. I spent most of my night chasing my 12 month old around the crib using the regular lens. Now I can be a paranoid mother easier by just glancing over and seeing where he is and how he is sleeping!

Has quite a large view which is great, so we don’t have to rotate the camera constantly. However, it’s very pixilated, and pretty much not usable when zoomed in because of how blurry the picture is.
