## Description

The Infant Optics DXR-8 PRO video baby monitor is our most advanced monitor yet. As a parent, you want digital security without internet connectivity for an added layer of protection against hackers that may be able to access your camera over the internet. Operating on 2nd-generation FHSS frequency in a closed-loop system that does NOT utilizes your home WiFi, only YOU can see and hear your baby. The DXR-8 PRO features cutting edge features such as Active Noise Reduction (ANR), a high definition display, and interchangeable lenses. ANR is an option that can be toggled on or off to filter any background noise such as fans, air conditioners, humidifiers, and air purifiers, that are commonly heard on baby monitors as 'static noise'. When it comes to video clarity, the monitor features a 5" ultra-clear LCD display at 720P resolution with enhanced night vision. The three-step digital zoom can be operated with the optical zoom lens (included) so that you can zoom in to see your baby sleeping in 6x zoom without causing the pixelation and blurring seen on other monitors. All functions are controlled on our next-generation user interface. Dedicated volume and brightness controls on the top of the monitor unit. Brightness of the LED lights (power and LED sound bar) can be dimmed so it won't shine your room bright at night. Standard features such as two-way talk back, sleep mode, night vision included. Monitor wakes instantly from sleep mode with a press of any button. Pair with portable battery pack (sold separately) for up to 24 hours battery life. Comes with manufacturer's 1 year warranty. Note: predecessor model DXR-8 camera units are NOT compatible with the DXR-8 PRO.

Review: Amazing video quality compared to Non-pro version - 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
Review: High quality and worth the money - Love this monitor. I have tried many over the years and this is definitely my favorite. It’s intuitive, user friendly, has external control buttons for volume, it’s easy to set the scan feature, the video is very good, and the handset feels sturdy. I had the Babysense for many years and loved the functionality, BUT the casing of the parent unit was super flimsy and kept breaking, and eventually I replaced it with the Hello Baby, which I hated. SO cheap, so extremely basic, poor video quality. Ended up returning it and I was hesitating over the infant optics for a while because of the price, since we needed two cameras, and $100 just for a camera isn’t cheap, but I’m so glad I got it. We’ve only had it about a month so I’m hoping it will hold up. It definitely seems like good quality.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are the old cameras compatible with this new unit?**
A: They are not, unfortunately. The new unit does come with a camera

**Q: Is the plug for the old dxr-8 cameras the same as the plug for the new pro cameras? hoping i can just replace the camera on the wall and not the cord.**
A: No, the plugs are different (as someone else mentioned) and it's a bummer they changed it. The new power connection is one of those circular DC-type connections. They even included a little tag on the new cable that says they improved it to something that was multi-directional and people wouldn't have a problem plugging in in the dark. Now we have 5 leftover microUSB cables in every room from the older DXR-8 model. :/

**Q: Can I have 2 monitors and 1 camera or 2 monitors and check on both cameras from both monitors?**
A: I don't know for sure, but I would say yes.  As long as both monitors are the DXR-8 PRO.  As you can connect multiple cameras to one display, i would i suppose you could connect a different camera to each display.  But I would imagine its a one to one, once a camera is connected to a monitor it wouldn't be able to be paired to another

**Q: Is anyone having issues with the charger? When I plug the monitor to charge i, I have to wiggle it and have it in a certain position for it to charge.**
A: These monitors don’t like any chargers or cables except the ones that come with them.  Have had them replaced under warranty because of the issue you described.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best monitor!
*by A***R on December 31, 2025*

I've tried many different monitors and this by far is my favorite. I use them for both of my boys. It does reach pretty far away if you have to take it outside. I appreciate the diming of the screen for when im sleeping. The picture is very clear! And I love the big screen size.
