Infant Optics Wide Angle Lens For DXR-8

We didnt initially realize the lens on our camera was interchangeable and were looking at other cameras that had a wider viewing area. The camera continued to pop up on best sellers lists and saw one comment that mentioned purchasing the wider lens. So we gave it a shot, dropped $12 to buy this lens, 100% worth it, EXACTLY what we wanted. We can see the whole room, and didnt have to spend a few hundred on a new camera. Totally worth the investment!

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

Update: you can read my initial review below but here I am, two days in, I have to change my review to 1 star. The first day it was great- could see the whole room clearly. At night, the image was terrible! Super grainy. I didn’t change my review the first night because I thought I may have left a plastic protective film or something on the camera lens. Nope. The wide angle lens is just terrible at night. I wish I had read more reviews.... I will be trying to reAch the company and I’ll update if anything changes. Original review: We have had the camera for two years and have loved it, but when our daughter started wandering around the room at night we wanted something better. We looked at replacing the camera but felt that we should try this new lens before making a huge purchase – the best decision we made. This land let us see the entire room. The camera is up on a bookshelf about 7 feet off the floor-before we could just see her bed, and now we see almost everything. The old lens unscrews, and the new lens screws on. Couldn’t be simpler to swap out. Be careful – if this product comes in a package with several other items it might get lost end it comes in a very small 1” x 1” x 1” box. Again, we loved having this camera and are so glad that this lens will allow us to use this camera for a few more years.

I love our Infant Optics camera. We recently converted my daughters crib to a toddler bed. I ordered the wide lens to be able to see more of her room in case she doesnt stay in her bed. The night vision on the wide lens is absolutely awful. I have decided not to use it at all.

I purchased the wide angle lens because I had to install the camera at the very top of my wall at the ceiling in order to get the whole crib in the picture. I was worried about the night vision due to other reviews, but the manufacturer stated that issue was fixed. It definitely is fixed because I do not see a different between the regular lens or night vision lens. Pros: - I could install the camera lower and get the whole crib and additional parts of the room - By installing it lower I could accurately use the temperature feature of the camera - Night vision and regular vision works great - Did not affect the quality of the picture at all Cons: - The night vision does have a hot spot but this is more of a camera con rather than because of the actual lens. I had this same hot spot using the regular lens as well. Overall it works great and I absolutely needed this wide angle lens for this camera in order to use it the way that I wanted to.

Baby’s room has low ceilings so that the camera couldn’t get far enough from the crib to fully show on the monitor. This wide angle lens made all the difference. Perfect for our situation!

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

Its good, not amazing. Definitely adds the benefit of being able to see an entire room which is very helpful for the playroom, but it does come with a compromise in quality. Picture isnt very clear (although clear enough), especially when kiddo isnt very close to the lens. Still, a better alternative to the regular lens for our family & Im grateful for the increased perspective.

This allows me to see my entire baby in his crib even though the camera is very close.

This lens has solved our problem!! I have it sitting high on a ledge and couldn’t see what mattered which is our living room because I can’t quite see every inch from the kitchen ,which is in the same area, when I’m doing dishes!! This is Worth it!!
