Infant Optics Add-on Camera for DXR-8 PRO (not Compatible with DXR-8)

LOVE this camera I’ve tried others but this one tops it. The only downfall is the price!

If you're considering the Infant Optics monitor and have more than one young child or more than one room you need to keep an eye on, I recommend this add-on camera. My kiddos are 3 years old and 3 months old. Between the sharp picture quality, clear sound, zoom feature, and easy toggling between two cameras on one monitor, this camera/monitor setup offers everything we're looking for to keep an eye on our kids overnight and during nap times. This is closed circuit monitor and does NOT connect to your smart phone, which is exactly what we were looking for and isn't all that common in the baby monitor market. Setup takes less than a minute; just be sure to double-check that you're purchasing the right camera for the right monitor because you can only connect a PRO camera to a PRO monitor. The battery life for the monitor (sold separately from add-on camera) is decent, roughly 8-10 hours out-of-the-box if the monitor is in sleep mode.

My toddler woke and reported a loud noise in the night. We later discovered the unit had a component blow up around and my camera starting MELTING! Very thankful the unit wasn't near anything flammable! Could have been a nightmare scenario... Spoke to customer support through 10 emails back and forth only to have them tell me the best they're willing to do is give me 50% off a new unit through the US amazon storefront only (which does nothing for me being in Canada). The fact that they spent so much time verifying my purchase just to offer me something I can't even redeem was wild to me. Just a terrible customer experience that deserves sharing.

I love that there’s no WiFi linked to this as I’m usually worried about people being able to hack into this and seeing my kids. This is the 2nd one I’ve purchased because I really love this brand. Picture quality is great and durability is incredible, like I said this is my 2nd one! Sound quality is great and the battery lasts a really long time. Lasts me through the full day and then I just plug it in at light. Since this was my second camera, I just bought the individual camera and connected it to the monitor I already have for my 1st kid. It was super easy to connect it, the instructions were very clear. Gives you an easy step by step - don’t feel like it will be hard because it won’t be!! The monitor lets me have the 2 kids image scan back and forth so I can see both or I can pause it on one kid at a time.

So easy to add to my existing infant optics pro camera! It operates just like the one that came in the original package. It does have a lens for wide angle but I have not tried that yet. I love that this also can tell the room temp which is peace of mind without having to even enter the room to check on baby. I also like that this one can not be hacked into off of WiFi. Also, we live on a half acre and it has INCREDIBLE range. We love this camera! It also has great clear imaging.
