- DXR-8 PRO - Patented Active Noise Reduction (ANR), 5” HD Video Baby Monitor with 1 Camera, No WiFi, Hack-Proof,Pan Tilt Zoom, Interchangeable Lens

I bought this as an emergency last-minute purchase when my InfantOptics DXR-8 (NOT-pro) finally died after 5 years of abuse (I can't tell you how many times that thing fell on the floor). I was really hating the non-pro version, and upgrading to the Pro, I can honestly say I am so impressed and feel like I have missed out on such a quality baby monitor all this time. The difference between the video quality between the DXR-8 and the Pro is huge. The range is much better, as the (non-pro)DXR-8 had really shoddy connection between opposite corners of my 2500 sqft house if we were relaxing downstairs while kiddo was asleep upstairs. I have not had any connection issues with the Pro in any room in my house. The ANR feature works well on single camera mode, but turns off during scan mode (as intended). This is not a dealbreaker for me anyway. I was relieved that the mounting bracket and wide angle lenses were interchangeable with my old non-Pro version, so I didn't need to buy replacements on those. I also appreciate that there is a physical button for the volume instead of having to open the menu for it. My ONLY complaint is that I do use the monitor to talk to my older kid sometimes, and immediately after speaking on it, there is a couple-second gap of time after releasing the microphone button where the monitor is still muted and I can't hear my kid since he always responds immediately. I'm going to have to teach him to pause before responding so I can hear. I've been using this thing for 3 days now and I can't stop staring at the crystal-clear picture of my baby sleeping so peacefully on this baby monitor <3

I am using this monitor with 2 cameras and it does a great job - clear picture and sound quality, easy to use, lots of customizable settings (like 24 hour format and temperature in C), and a much further reach than a previously owned Motorola camera, so I can go in my garden without loosing signal. This is not a split screen, but cycles through the cameras (you can customize time intervals) what works really well in practice - for some reason I was set on a split screen for the second baby, but that is really not needed. After using it for close to 2 years the parent unit went out on me, showing only a black screen while the sound still worked. I was able to get it going again after reconnecting the cameras, but the fix did not last long and it went black again. I reached out to customer service, and Emma C has been nothing but amazing. I got a reply within 10 minutes of my first request with detailed troubleshooting instructions. There was some back and forth and Emma always replied promptly. When the instructions only got the monitor back to life for a short time, I was offered a replacement unit which arrived the next day. I only had to pay shipping for the return of my original unit - InfantOptics is pretty adamant to get the broken unit back, what is understandable as otherwise people might get a replacement and sell the broken unit on ebay. Very pleased with the experience - highly recommend.

I'm very impressed by this baby monitor. 1 - The picture is incredible! Even with the night vision I can see so many details. The screen is quite large so you can see a lot of the room at once. 2 - It has active noise reduction which is great as our camera is close to the Hatch+ which gives constant white noise. My older child talks and sings when he goes to sleep and we could never hear what he was saying because the white noise drowned him out. Now we can actually here him (kids say the cutest things!). 3 - The display includes room temperature AND the time. I totally understand how that should be a small thing but you'd be amazed at how nice it is to be able to see the time when you are checking on things. 4 - The unit comes with a zoom lense, but it can already do a double zoom directly from the monitor. It's as simple as clicking the zoom button, no extra menus or steps and it keeps the detail when you zoom in so you can actually see them breathing, not just a bright spot. I can't comment on the battery yet as I use it mostly plugged in, but I haven't had any issues with it yet and it can always be replaced if it starts to run down over time. The only thing that is a bit of a bummer is that it has a special charging port. It doesn't use a USB C or micro USB so you can't use other plugs to charge it. They do help make that more manageable by including an additional charging cable that plugs into a USB so if you were traveling or wanted to be able to keep it plugged in your room and the living room you could still do that without having to move the charger as well.

In our home, we really care about not having Wi-Fi for safety reasons. This monitor gives us peace of mind! The screen is so large, but not bulky compared to others. The set up was very easy. I had an issue with the battery and was sent a new one from the manufacturer, which was great. Picture is super clear and clean. Considering everything I’m really happy with this purchase and now going on two years would definitely purchase it again. We travel with it too!

All good. Recommended

Was working fine for the first week, and now the monitor keeps on loosing it's connection to the camera

Monitor is fantastic. Image is clear, range covers the whole house and then some, battery lasts throughout the night with half still remaining in the morning and is user replaceable for when it eventually wears out. Maybe a little bare on features but what's there works perfectly.

Todo funcionaba bien pero de la nada el monito ya no prendió, 1 año 2 meses
