In their words

“When we got pregnant one of the questions I would ask other parents was, what baby monitor do you use? Without question the most common response was Infant optics and after much research we landed on the DXR-8 PRO and receivers as a gift from our registry. Once the baby arrived it was time to put it to use and I must say we are in love with it, here is why. 5in screen is the perfect size, not too ”

BArtrip · verified purchase · Target

“The video on this baby monitor continues to work, but the audio intermittently stops without warning. When this happens, the monitor produces faint white noise that sounds like a quiet room, so it appears to be working when it is not. The only way to restore audio is to turn the camera off and back on. This has happened multiple times over several months with no clear cause.”
