Infant Optics Wide Angle Lens For DXR-8

As you can see the night vision is not the same quality as the standard license that the DXR 8 came with.

The night vision is pretty good considering the larger view it shows. Its easy to switch out with the lens you already have on the camera, and it gives a much wider view of the room!

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!

This is one of the best $11 purchases I’ve ever made. You can see the entire room with this lens if the camera’s put at the right spot. We put this in our sons’ bedroom when we moved them into the same room so we could see both beds, and now I want to put one in our playroom also. It’s a really, really nice add-on to the monitor at an awesome price point.

Incredibly easy to install, just twist it into the threads of The camera after you take the old lens out. My only complaint is the picture quality is not perfect. It may have more to do with the camera and less with this lens, but it could have been better. I can still see everything at a nice wide angle (ie my kids entire bed), but it’s a tiny bit fuzzy.

Works perfectly. I didnt have any issues with the nighttime quality. Its one of the best images I have seen in a baby monitor. It zooms in and still has a clear image. I can see my daughter face so clearly to the point where I feel comfortable not being near her which is huge for me since she has had medical issues in the past. I need to be able to see her face clearly especially well she sleeps. This lens gives me that peace of mind. Im so tthankful for how much more zoomed in I get and how clear it is. Well worth every penny plus more.

We have twin toddlers and had been using a different baby monitor with two cameras. This worked fine as babies, but they now move so quickly we need to see the entire room at once to make sure everyone is safe. This wide angle lens is a must! Plan ahead so you dont have to buy a second unit like we did - start here!

I got this lens since my daughter is now a toddler and we needed view of her entire room. The night vision wasn’t working so I contacted customer service. I had read older versions had bad night vision but they had fixed the issue. Thankfully their customer service is top notch and they resolved the issue. Night vision works now. It isn’t the greatest clarity but it does the job well enough. I’m happy with their system as a whole.

It’s a great concept and I installed it right away to use in my 3 year old sons room. He sometimes gets out of bed and goes to open his door or try to open the blinds on his window, and the regular lens isn’t wide enough so I have to pan to find him and he’s pretty fast. It works great if the room is light. But on night mode, it’s super blurry and grainy and I can’t see his face to be able to tell if he’s asleep. Even worse when zooming in. I understand the night mode isn’t as clear in general but it was even worse than the normal lens. It would be good to use for a playroom or something where you want to watch your kid in a large area and the lights will be on. But it’s useless in the dark if you want to be able to identify anything more than blurry shapes.

Love this camera system! The last thing we want to rely on is our shoty cable WiFi to be used as the go between channel. Forget the nonsense about hackers...I’m talking about being able to see your kid even if the WiFi is down. So reliable, So clear, So cool when you pan or tilt the camera from the remote, and So cool to have a 2 way conversation by simply holding down a key on the monitor. Set up a total of 4 cameras and either watch 1 or scan between them all. Battery seems to last forever and the charging cable is super long so your not held hostage by an outlet. Love this system.
