Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is our 2nd Infant Optics DXR-8 baby monitor. Our toddler dropped the monitor one too many times and finally damaged the screen...oops! After this happened I shopped around a bit to see what other options are out there, but I couldn’t find one that had all of the features I’ve grown to love about the Infant Optics one. We use the wide angle lens on our camera and it gives a great view of our son’s crib area. The zoom and camera angle can be controlled remotely via the monitor, which has been key for us. Some monitors can only control zoom remotely. The image is super clear and the color is very vibrant. Even the nighttime image in the dark is fantastic. The microphone in the camera is very sensitive and picks up everything happening in the room. I also like that the monitor lights up on the side to indicate the noise level in the room. The temperature reading hasn’t been very helpful for us because our camera is near the air vent, so it always thinks it’s very hot or cold in the room. I’m sure this would work better in a different location. I love that you can add more cameras! We’re going to add one for our next baby and also one at our front door. And this time we will be better about putting the monitor out of arms reach of our toddler! It really is durable...the first screen breaking is our fault.
