" ... The zoom lens provides a lot of flexibility in terms of camera placement since we can have the camera across the room and still see a close up of our baby. ... "
" ... The picture quality is great in both daylight and night vision, and I love that there's a regular lens and a zoom lens, so you can choose what works best for your needs. ... "
" ... Infant Optics DXR-8 is perfect! ... "
" ... I love that I can remotely move the lens all around the room, and even speak into the monitor so my son can hear me in his room. ... "
" ... Haven't used the optical zoom lens yet, but I can see that and the optional wide-angle lens feature being a big plus in certain situations. ... "
" ... We will definitely be on the lookout for other products by Infant optics. ... "

" ... There is a firmmare issue where it is fully charged and drops down to one bar then shuts off. ... "
" ... Battery stopped charging after a month. ... "
" ... Defective battery out of the box and charging port has poor connectivity. ... "
" ... We also notice no some nights it doesn’t even charge dispute being plugged in. ... "
" ... About 3-4 months in, the monitor would not charge. ... Most recently the camera would not hold a charge which turned out to be that the battery in the monitor needed to be unplugged and plugged back in. ... "
" ... I have had the same issue both times, the monitor stopped charging. ... "
" ... Leaving It plugged in all night and the shutting it off and unplugging once we get up, a lot of times the battery will be down on last bar or completely dead by the time nap time comes around. ... Not sure why a battery that's only a couple months old wont hold a charge. ... "
" ... Now it’s november, 6-ish months later and this monitor does not hold a charge for more than maybe 20 min on a good day. ... I’ve also had issues when I plug the monitor in, and it doesn’t register it’s plugged in, so it doesn’t charge. ... This is very frustrating, I shouldn’t have to keep moving the charger all over the house because this very expensive monitor isn’t doing what it was supposed to. ... And it you don’t believe me, read the description for the product - “troubleshooting” “won’t hold a charge” “problems with port” “issues with signal range”. ... "

" ... You can zoom in and out and pan around the room. ... "
" ... We like that we can change out the lenses and that it has a pan tilt zoom. ... "

" ... I work third shift a lot so having an extra set of eyes for my wife when I am gone helps her feel more secure about the baby while she is asleep and if she can't hear the baby from the other room the monitor picks up the baby's cries for her. ... "
" ... They were very supportive and helpful! ... "
" ... I have only had it a few days but hopefully it will hold up well! ... "

" ... Love this product to watch my grandchildren, works very well and is very portable when traveling as well. ... "
" ... It's compact enough that we have also brought it with us on road trips or for long weekends with family. ... "
" ... Chose this because we travel frequently and it is portable and dual voltage (especially useful in Europe with the correct adaptor). ... "
" ... We took this everywhere with us and it survived 2 moves, multiple camping trips and vacations. ... "

Wifi

" ... After trying a fancier WiFi monitor that didn’t work, I was pleased to find this monitor to be super reliable and easy to use. ... "

" ... I would highly recommend it to anyone who is liking for a non Wi-Fi camera/monitor for their nursery. ... "
" ... I love that I don’t have to worry about a secure connection since it’s non-Wifi. ... "
" ... 1. this product uses its own FHSS (not Wi-Fi) with 3 Mbps data rate, which means that it is more robust than other products that connects devices by Wi-Fi, possibly with higher data rates (higher quality pictures). ... "
" ... The WiFi aspect will be missed, because it was great when we were out of town and wanting to check in on naptimes, but wasn't as necessary as we originally thought, so I'm fine with Infant Optics not having that option. ... "
