Infant Optics Wide Angle Lens For DXR-8

I like how small and easy this is to attach to the camera. What I found odd was the necessity of having to buy this lens separately. The infant optics camera I bought came with a standard and zoom lens. I would have gladly paid the extra money to just have the camera come with all three. Instead, I had to order this separately, and since it was so small, it had to become and add-on item, and wasnt in stock. I ended up waiting an extra few weeks to receive this. Seems so unnecessary when infant optics could just easily throw this in with the camera and charge an extra ten bucks. The lens works great. I use it to get a wider view of the room. I can see where it wouldnt be an advantage to some, especially for those who use the zoom feature to get a closer look at their baby. Would I buy this again? Probably. I would have liked the option to have it in the bundle though. As for the infant optics camera, I highly recommend it.

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!

I was nervous that the night vision would be too poor to make out much since so many reviews seemed to complain about it… but I am sooo glad I bought it! We have the pro so maybe that makes the difference. Wide angle let’s us see where my kiddo is almost anywhere in his room, night vision same quality and regular lense, zoom is a bit blurry but I don’t plan on really using it. Get it! It’s worth the $11!

Screws in easily. Works perfectly. I can see half the room - not just the bed. Great for toddler no longer contained in crib. Night vision has a hot spot dead center and the periphery is darker. Zoom still works so if I need a crib only view i can get it.

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.

This is as described, the wide angle is great for the mounting option I have for the camera allowing me to see the whole bassinet from a close distance. My only gripe is that the camera comes with a regular and zoom lens for some reason in the box and this wide angle one is a separate purchase.

Just got this today and I have to say its an instant game changer. Our playroom is long and it was impossible to keep my constantly moving toddler in frame. I put on this wide angle lens and I can see more than half the room on the monitor at a time. Its great! Its very clear when theres a lot of light and seems about as grainy as the regular lens so all in all a great improvement.

I have attached 2 pictures to this review to show the difference in the night vision with the regular lens compared to the wide angle lens that I purchased here. I read the reviews and knew that this may be an issue, but I am disappointed to say the least. When we moved my daughter to her big girl room, I wanted to be able to see the majority of the room so I could keep an eye on her when she was playing as well as when she was napping/asleep. Unfortunately, the night vision is less than desirable and its difficult to even make her little body out at times. So, if this isnt a major issue for you, no big deal, but if youd prefer a clearer picture (like the original lens) at night, youre not going to get it.

10/10 recommend this pic is WITH the lenses
