submitted byHoosierMama - 7 years agoA: I received one if I completed a review. It is super great having 2 once the baby started moving around in the crib
submitted byEricka Z - 6 years agoA: This should be a tell-tale sign that they are boosting reviews immediately after purchase because if you've owned it for longer than 6 months, its garbage.

Q: Does this monitor have sound? First-time, soon-to-be mommy here and worried that we won't be able to hear baby with this monitor. Thanks in advance for your help!
submitted by KristinaJ - 7 years ago
A: Yes it has sound. You can hear everything with this monitor. It has several volume settings, but we just keep it on the highest setting. I can hear perfectly when our baby moves, etc. Its a good camera.
submitted byOsu123 - 6 years agoA: You can hear well. However, the microphone has a constant white noise sound you hear from the monitor side. It is way louder than your children and drowns them out. It's awful. I wish they would get a better speaker that only pics up your children! Huge flaw
submitted byMjheat - 4 years ago
Q: Does this have a function where you can turn screen off and use it as an audio monitor?
submitted by swimlat - 7 years ago

The customer service is outstanding for this company! Any problem I have had they have quickly resolved and sent me a new unit quickly without worry! The monitor puts my mind at ease bc it's a closed circuit and no potential for being hacked into. Also is a great monitor to bring anywhere you will not have WiFi available!

I love this monitor. We have two of these monitors for our children and find them to work great. Our images are always clear and the sound is loud and clear. We don’t have to worry about WIFI with these monitors, which is an added bonus. The signal has always been strong. We can move around our whole house, the garage, even the backyard without worrying about losing signal. The battery life is great. I always charge it overnight and I’ve never had issues. I feel like it helps me to keep my children safe while providing an easy to use design. I would highly recommend this monitor!

Really like this! We use it all the time and have not had issues. There are occasions where it says it’s out of range but we just put its antenna up and it’s back in business. We have also traveled with it and that was easy as well.

The range on it is horrible. It will cut out of range all night when we are less than 25 feet from the camera. For how expensive it is, I’m extremely disappointed.

I do not recommend this product. So many issues with it. The battery is awful. It dies within minutes of being unplugged. Sometimes the sound goes out if I move the camera. The sound cuts in and out all night long. It beeps like it’s out of range even when I’m like 15 feet away on the same floor.

Aubrey - 2 months ago
I was gifted this monitor via my baby registry, and the product itself is amazing. I chose this monitor because I heard from several other moms that the company's customer service is top notch. I can definitely confirm this, as we had a battery issue (user error) and they immediately sent a new battery. Highly recommend, and this postpartum mama is now much less stressed!

Ivy B - 4 months ago
I have only had this monitor for 8 months and it is already broken, the sound has stopped working. I called customer sevice twice for trouble shooting and still no luck fixing it. The company refuses to replace it because I used a visa gift card to purchase it and no longer have the receipt since it wasnt attached to my target app. I wasnt impressed by the quality anyways even though I did extensive research to find "the best" monitor for my baby. I ended up going with a Vtech monitor and I love it, the quality is much better. If you do decide to buy it keep your receipt and buy the protection plan from Target so you dont end up like me, out over $265 now.
Not worth the price
3 out of 5 stars
Samantha - 4 months ago
I personally don’t feel like the quality of this camera is worth the price. I purchased this camera because my vtech kept having connection issues. Otherwise I would have much rather stayed with vtech because the picture clarity is better and their camera has a bit more features. This honestly feels more cheaply made in my opinion.

When I reached out to their customer service they would only give us a discount on a new one, but refused to replace it. I will also note that the battery started dying very quickly after less than a year of use and had to be plugged in most of the time. We have now switched to hello baby, which is almost half the price, has a larger screen, better image quality and comes with two cameras.

After two weeks of use, the handheld monitor only works when plugged in. Even if plugged in all night, it will die the second you unplug it.
Do not purchase - not built to last more than one year
1 out of 5 stars
Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend
Lydia - 6 months ago
This product is not built to last. At $200, this product should last well beyond one year of use. I received this product as a baby gift off my registry in April of 2023 and opened it three months later when my son was born in July. This week it stopped working with no rhyme or reason. The troubleshooting offered by the company did not work and I purchased a new battery, which was also unsuccessful. Infant Optics refused to offer a replacement due to the fact that it is a few months out of the “one year warranty period,” despite not even opening the box for the first three months I owned it. The company’s only solution is to offer me a small discount for me to purchase a new monitor through them. There are plenty of other reputable and reliable brands of monitors that are built to last beyond one year. If you have $200 to spend every few months, Infant Optics may be the brand for you. If not, I strongly recommend choosing any other company for your baby monitor.

For the price of this monitor I was very disappointed. The connection is not good at all and we have a tiny house. Super frustrated because I was so excited about this and had heard good things. Save your money and get a different monitor
Signal loss

Mandy - 7 months ago
This monitor has the weakest signal. It wasn't great even when we first started using it, but it gets worse every day. It will randomly cut off and say signal loss in our super small house. You can be only 10 feet from the door. Happens more and more all the time. Don't waste your money on this brand.

I’m on my third infant optics monitor in 5 years. They barely make it past the 1 year mark before breaking in one way or another. No wonder they only have a one year warranty. I stupidly kept buying new monitor units since the actual cameras still work. Be smart from the beginning and do NOT buy this monitor at all.

A - 9 months ago
After upgrading to the DXR-8 Pro I can definitely say - if you can splurge the extra 50 ish bucks, do it! This camera works for what it is but by the time we upgraded the antenna was falling apart, it was constantly losing connection and both charging cords were completely busted. The price difference between the two isn’t astronomical and this camera is completely bare bones compared to the pro.

Love our monitor. Had it for over 3 years now. Bought an add on additional camera when we had our second child. Had to get a replacement monitor and camera though as both stopped working. Could be from dropping too many times. However customer service was helpful and super responsive. I was out of warranty and received a 50% discount on monitor replacement and a received the camera replacement for free! Really considerate representatives who followed up as well to ensure everything was working. Fast shipping of replacement as well! Couldn’t be more pleased
