About this deal

A good friend recommended the Hubble. He's a programmer, so he must be able to figure the thing out better. The one thing I found alluring is it included two cameras, a local monitor, and a phone app that we got with the Nursery Pal Cloud Twin. Shoulda known that getting so many goodies for less than the price of the others would come at a cost. Instructions: Poor. Initial setup: A pain. User Interface: Poor. Monitor video quality compared to the Infant Optics: Poor and laggy. Boot-up time: Slow. And this was just getting the cameras paired with the monitor. The icing on the cake was the annoying beep it would incessantly chime if it did not have connection with a camera. I never figured out how to turn the beep off. I never installed the app. I just returned it. Maybe if you are a programmer, you will fare better. Since most people will be able to plug in at some point before elapsing six hours of baby monitoring, this should be more help than hinderance. Sadly, this means that even though it could comfortably run all night on the battery, you’ll definitely want to plug this one in before you fall asleep lest the battery warning wake you up. The occasional “beep beep” isn’t as loud as the notification that your baby’s crying, but it’s not something you want going off at 2:00 a.m.. Question: How do you change the viewing camera when using multiple cameras with the Infant Optics DRX-8? Pan: 270°/ Tilt: 108° / up to 6x with optical and digital zoom used together, optional wide-angle lens available EMF: With an average level of 1.89 V/m at 6 feet from the monitor, this baby monitor produces a low amount of EMF. Does Infant Optics use Wi-Fi?

Unless you’re using your baby monitor while camping on the open plains, range is going to be measured in frustration rather than distance. Range on digital wireless devices is basically an all-or-nothing scenario. If you can see the video feed, it’s crisp and clear; once you go beyond the range of the transmitter, the video starts to go blank and you’ll soon get a “no signal” or “out of range” warning. No interference:You should have a secure and interference-free transmission because this monitor transmits on the 2.4 GHz frequency and use the FHSS technology. Of course, the bottom also has a set of four rubberized feet so you can place it onto any flat surface near your crib. The Infant Optics DXR-8 supports up to four cameras. You can have all four of them connected to your parent unit and that parent unit only. Meaning, though you can have more than one camera watching over your kids, you cannot have more than one parent unit to view the videos from. You’re going to have to share the parent unit with your spouse or take turns every other night as most parents do.When I compared it with others monitors, I founded that the DXR-8 Pro is one of the most reliable and has the best battery life.

DXR 8 Pro has the ability to pair up to four cameras with the monitor. This enables parents to monitor multiple children or rooms. Eufy Spaceview baby monitor is also one of the best non-wifi monitors in the market. It is easy to use, has a decent range, a good battery life, and has an exceptionally highly adjustable camera capability. If you’re fortunate enough to have ethernet cable run to a good spot for a baby monitor camera, then you can avoid that whole setup process and skip straight to setting up an account. Sadly, the camera does not take power-over-ethernet, but it will run off a USB port with the included adapter cable. Infant Optics DXR-8 is one of the basic yet trusted baby monitors in the US, and I suggest you consider it. Want to learn a little more about the DXR-8 PRO? Keep reading! Infant Optics DXR-8 PRO Baby Monitor ReviewA feature most users are looking for the split-screen viewing. That is, if you have more than one camera, you should be able to view them simultaneously as both displays take an equal portion of the screen. In my opinion, it is fortunate that DXR-8 doesn’t have it. Its 3.5 inches screen is too small to watch multiple screens at the same time. Instead, you can easily switch from one camera to another with a press of a button.

This a "non-Wi-Fi closed-loop system," as it says on the box. The DXR-8 Pro, like its predecessor, isn't using the internet at all, so there's virtually no lag. Infant Optics claims the Pro has a 50% better signal range than the previous version; popping up the antenna on the monitor helps with that. Eufy is a good choice if you are looking for higher video resolution, but Infant Optics DXR 8 Pro has better experience with a longer transmission range, sound indicator lights, noise reduction technology, and superior zooming capabilities which justify the higher price.After our long-term review, we give it a record-breaking 4.9 out of 5.0, a fantastic score for a fantastic product! One disadvantage of the Motorola MBP36XL is that it only has a standard camera lens and it’s not changeable. The narrow field of view makes monitoring toddlers a bit difficult because you need to constantly scan the room or zoom in and out. One resolution is to move the camera further away but it’s not always an option. Adding cameras (up to 4 total cameras can be added) was easy using the camera pairing function in the menu. In late 2020, Infant Optics made a huge update to their DXR-8, calling it the DXR-8 PRO and including active noise reduction and a beautiful 5" display with 720p resolution. Easy to use controls: The monitor has an intuitive interface where the volume and brightness controls, which you will frequently be using, are located on the top of the monitor for easy access. The other settings are on the D-pad, which controls navigation, and pan/tilt is also easily accessible. On the screen, the top bar is where everything is displayed from temperatures, time, signal strength, battery life, digital zoom, and you can see whether ANR is on or off.
