Infant Optics DXR-8 Standalone Monitor Unit ONLY v2.1 with Round-Pin Charging Port.

We have had an Infant Optics baby monitor system with 2 cameras and a solo monitor for more than 6 years and it has worked flawlessly all these years. Unfortunately a few months ago, the monitor got dropped on the hardwood floor by accident and the antenna just snapped off hanging literally by a thin wire. Since that day, the monitor only worked in close proximity of the cameras and would lose signal if we moved more than 20 ft away. So finally ordered a replacement.The replacement monitor was easy to set up and I was able to pair it with both cameras in under 2 mins. From then on, it was smooth sailing again.For $99, I would have liked to see a battery included with the monitor but I guess the title on amazon clearly states it is not so can't blame the company for it.Overall very happy with the monitor.

I decided on infant optics two years ago when my son was born. We have been pretty happy with the product but the mini USB plug was getting loose over time so it was having trouble holding a charge. We have external chargers so we made it work. Finally my son threw it and the power button was stuck down, unable to be fixed with our current skills. I decided to try one of the wifi options for baby monitors on amazon which were cheaper than buying a new infant optics monitor. Was very unhappy with it and immediately got back on Amazon and found this new monitor with the plug. Works great with my old system and I'm happy the plug will be more reliable in theory (have not had the chance to test it yet). It does not come with a battery but our old battery fit perfect.It does come with two chargers which I appreciate since it is unique. Product was out of stock but still arrived earlier than expected which was a nice bonus.

Very good product. We have this monitor when we had our first baby. Works pretty good, we definitely love it. But the monitor unit is not working now since it was dropped into the toilet by our baby. Purchase this to replace this old monitor unit.

We’ve had our infant optics monitor for 5.5 years now. We added a second camera when our son was born in 2020. The only issue we’ve ever had is the antenna on the monitor breaking. It was hanging by a thread for 1-2 years and just finally broke off this week. This prevented it from syncing with the camera in our daughter’s room. I refused to buy this replacement last year because I just find $100 astronomical for the monitor only (not even a battery!). However, I had no choice once the antenna broke off completely.Aside from the outrageous price tag, this replacement works well. I was able to synch it with our existing cameras in seconds and the picture quality is slightly better than it was before. I haven’t even ended to use the antenna but it’s very stable.The only other negative is they changed the charging port from a generic USB to a tiny single skinny pronged round plug. It comes with 1 plug cord and 1 cord that plugs into a USB outlet (which was great for each side of our bed), but I had to order 2 more generic plugs for other parts of our house. So tack another $10 onto the price for that.Overall it works and does what it says. I just wish it was about half the price!

We have grown our family with this monitor from one camera to two with the addition of second kid. It's the best. Has all the features you could want like temp, talk back, swap rooms, great night vision, sound only to save battery if you want, volume control etc etc.Only problem is, the monitor has an antenna that doesn't last too long. Our first lasted 2 years so pretty good considering all the daily use, but the second only lasted 1yr :(Would think about switching but already so invested and otherwise works so well so sadly have to pay another $100 for a third monitor...
