“I am a first time Mom and I was told I didn’t need a video monitor but they seemed so helpful so I did a TON of research for weeks and found the Infant Optics DXR-8 and thought it was the best fit for my needs. This monitor is absolutely AMAZING!” Kristen

Just FYI I have this monitor. I bought it in March 2018 and have already had to have two replacements due to battery issues.
Oh bummer! Thanks so much for sharing your experience! Good to know!
I’ve had issues with the screen not being super clear anymore ( bought in 2016) and the customer service was amazing! They sent us a whole new monitor for free!
SWEET! Good to know how helpful customer service is, Jane! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
I love this monitor! My favorite feature is that the picture is clear enough that I could see my infant breathing, which made my anxiety lessen in those first few weeks of her being in the crib.
Aww, I would have loved to have this when my kids were babies! I would always go in and check, but try not to wake them up! Thanks for the feedback, Annie!
I have this one! We have used it for 2.5 years and LOVE it!
Every now and then you have to power cycle the camera (unplug it and plug it back in) if the screen looks dark and its back to new.
Maybe have to do this once every few months, it takes 10 seconds so I don’t consider it a major problem.
Oh cool! Thanks a TON for the helpful tip, Ashley!
I have this monitor and I hate it. It had so many issues from the start (going out of signal frequently, shaky image at times, poor screen visibility at random times for no good reason). I personally wouldn’t even pay this highly reduced price for it 🙁
DARN! That does sound frustrating! Thanks so much for the honest review! We sure appreciate it!
I have had this monitor for 6mo and love it. I like that you can have multiple cameras, and the night vision is good. Just be sure you read the description of Amazon Warehouse items and have expectations accordingly – for example if it says defect on top front or side of item, it means there might be a scratch on the screen. Overall I’ve been lucky/happy with Amazon Warehouse items, although usually I pick ones where just the packaging is damaged.
Thanks so much for the helpful comment, Stephanie! Glad you have been loving this monitor so far!
We are expecting baby #3 and had already decided this is the monitor that we wanted. I’m nervous buying from the warehouse bc I’m a perfectionist and it scares me to think somebody returned it for some reason that I don’t know. But the savings was too enticing! So I jumped! I’ll inspect it and use it with another kiddo for a couple weeks and if something happens, I’ll just return it.
Aww, How exciting! Congratulations! Hoping it works well for you!
We got this monitor for our first baby, December 2018. This one had a ton of positive reviews which is why I chose it, but it was pricey. We were lucky that it was given to us at our baby shower. One reader above stated that they could see their baby breathing on it, our’s is not that clear and likes to swap back and forth from color to black and white; mostly when there is a little bit of sunlight in the room. The black and white is grainy, but for the fact it’s pitch black in the room and I can see my daughter, I’m okay with that. The one other thing is that in a certain spot in my kitchen it says I’m out of signal range, not sure why when the rest of my house is fine. Overall we’re happy with this monitor.
We have had this monitor since October 2017 and love it. Haven’t had any issues other than resetting the battery occasionally which is easy.
We have this monitor and love it, no issues and we’ve been using it almost a year!
oh, I hate to say it but I would not recommend this monitor! I spent the full price, $160+ on it and it has had so many problems! I’m sure the refurbished ones are all the ones being returned. My boss told me she has this one and has had to get replacements too. I wouldn’t even buy it new at $69, knowing what I know about it. It has been a big disappointment for something so expensive!!
DO NOT purchase this monitor. We have had so many issues.
I have had this monitor since 2016 (two cameras) and I think it’s the best thing ever. I used another brand when I only had one child and it constantly popped and lost signal. This one was like moving up from dial up to high speed internet.
Happy this one has been such an improvement from your last! Thanks for the review, Miranda!
Bought this monitor brand new a year ago and have had to get 4 replacement batteries so far. I like the quality of the camera , just hate having to replace the batteries so often
I’ve learned that when the battery stops holding charge it means that the connection has become unseated (probably due to it being dropped.) I unplug the battery, plug it back and it back in and BAM holding full charge again.
This monitor is TERRIBLE. I believed the hype and had to have several replacements and finally just kicked it for a new one Save yourself the headache
DARN! Thanks for the honest comment, Heather!
We have been using this monitor for over 2 years now and love it! The signal range is awesome! We just recently started having issues with the battery and read where others said to unplug the battery for a little bit and plug back in and it will reset the battery. Works perfectly again! I would highly recommend this baby monitor!
Using this monitor as I type- I can hear every little movement, scratch, toot (LOL) while she sleeps. The night vision is fantastic and I LOVE that I can see nuanced movement like her breathing. The battery can drain quick if you keep the screen on so my husband just got an extra charging cable so we have charging areas where we spend most of our time and portable battery charger if we are moving around a lot.
Aww, thanks for sharing Kristen! Such a great idea to grab an extra charging cable!
I also hate this monitor!! We purchased in 2016 and it was replaced twice in 6 months. Such a pain!! It would shut off and lose signal constantly. It was completely unreliable.
