Infant Optics Digital Video Monitor DXR-8 Pro

Best camera out there and even better customer support. extremely reliable and versatile. much better than anything else I have tried. I have used at least 5 different brands of web cams including Blink and 3 different stand alone like this one. Infant Optica is the best, hands down

We love our infant optics. It's so easy to transport if traveling because you don't have to connect it to any wifi. It has great visibility, and the one time I had to contact customer support they actually sent me a new monitor to insure I had a working monitor. Would recommend to anyone!

Great product and exceptional customer service! Our screen stopped working without it being plugged in and custom service responded right away and sent a new battery and then a new screen. They reached out numerous times to ensure I was happy with the replacement. I am thrilled.

We love this baby monitor! It is very reliable and gives new parents peace of mind. The few times I’ve had to reach out to infant optics support everyone has been so attentive and solutions oriented.

ok read the reviews, they all say the same thing- the battery sucks. honestly besides that it’s a great monitor. it’s just very inconvenient that the camera and monitor must be linked and on for the battery to charge. if you turn camera off the monitor dings and you can’t just leave plugged in while off. also the cord is glitchy sometimes and has to be at a perfect angle to connect. other than that it’s great, just a bummer for this price point of monitor that they can’t figure out this issue.

Ths is an excellent monitor, no complaints. They also have phenomenal customer service if you need it.

Love this monitor. Had the older model also. After over a year of using the new one, the screen unfortunately went out. I contacted infant optics. Vanessa was wonderful and responded quickly. She had a new monitor delivered within 2 days of no charge. Definitely recommend.

We moved into a new home where our room and our baby's room were on opposite sides of the house. Our Motorolla monitor would randomly lose connection at night and would not reconnect until we turned it off and back on. We tried a Vtech monitor that had the same issue. We thought it might be interference of some sort but didn't want to rearrange our entire house between bedrooms to see if that was the cause. Finally we decided to spend the extra money and try the Infant Optics monitor. Despite it being more expensive than the other brands, it was the only monitor that would not lose connection! Definitely worth the cost as we have peace of mind and will always hear if our baby is crying. We've owned the monitor for 6 months now and haven't lost signal once. Even when we go sit in our backyard by our fire pit it doesn't lose connection if we put the antenna up! This was incredible because the other monitors would drop signal before we could even reach the fire pit area. We recently had a small issue with the speaker making a buzzing noise at low volume. I got in touch with Infant Optics customer service and they swiftly provided troubleshooting steps and in the end sent out a replacement before we even returned the defective one. That's some great customer service in my mind! I highly recommend this monitor especially if range and connection are issues you've experienced with other monitors!

Everything is great with this except two things. 1. that there is no app for your phone so, you cannot go too far from it and 2. after about 4 months the battery charge dies extremely quick. While it has been charged all night, once taken off the charge one battery line goes away. and it needs plugged in within 1.5 hours before dying.

The image quality, sound reduction, connectivity and overall functionality of the product is great. The battery life on the monitor could be better, but it will last several hours and not a big deal to charge back up each day. I did have an issue with my unit but customer service was quick, kind, professional and solved my problem to my full satisfaction. Quite happy with the product and customer service!

Do not buy unless you want your monitor to be plugged in to charge constantly or at all times. Battery life is terrible. Everything else is great but battery life is important as it isn’t convenient to keep checking if it’s charged and to have to keep worrying about charging it when you have a baby to tend to. Contacted the company and this is the info they gave me since their product description doesn’t mention battery life. “The battery life is 6 hours (screen on) or 10 hours in standby mode. A full charge takes about 7 hours and is indicated by a blue LED charging light.”

The design and price.

For the price, we expected to be happier with this camera. The pros are the picture is clear and it was easy to set up. The con, and it's a big one, is the battery life. The full charge doesn't even last a full night. We've gotten to where we just leave it plugged in all of the time which isn't as portable or convenient. Would recommend a different monitor.

we got a new one shipped to us in 2 days after contacting support when our monitor had a broken button on it. it was really helpful. the product itself is good, probably best on the market for an old school monitor like this.

Picture quality is decent but we tend to lose connection with the monitor in our 2 story house

Product is clear and easy to use!

Good video quality. I wish the video on the monitor came on when baby cries instead of me having to press a button.

I like the camera, the functions and the monitor is easy to use. I would not recommend however due to the short battery life of the monitor. We’ve been using it for less than 3 months (not even using for the whole night) and the battery life has already decreased drastically.

I can’t say enough good about this camera and the company. The camera & monitor are literally elite. The noise reduction is EXCELLENT because I don’t know a momma who doesn’t have a sound machine in her babe’s room and without noise reduction it would be all you’d hear. The temperature reading is little lovely feature as well. Babies sleep best between 68-72 degrees and you think you’d know based on the temp of your home but that’s not entirely so if the door is closed, etc. Every aspect of this camera is wonderful. I personally prefer my camera not be on Wi-Fi because the thought of my internet getting hacked and someone peeping in was unnecessary anxiety (especially in the early months when your boobs are out 90 percent of the time). Recently, and the main reason i’m even writing this review, is I had to contact customer service because my camera’s sound stopped working. I am not sure why and it could have been victim of my infants drool buckets but it’s hard to know for sure. So I reached out, we went through troubleshooting with no luck, and the kind souls at infant optics sent me another camera. I could have cried. I am a single mom and things are just so expensive. I can not tell you how wonderful they were to work with. It was such a BLESSING.

great improvement from the previous model which we liked as well.
