Does it make sense to have two monitors running simultaneously? Is it possible to keep one camera in the kitchen and another one in the bedroom, for example. Can both run at the same time?

The new version is more flexible than the old one
5/5

A DXR-original had been purchased by us It was about 5 years ago that we installed an 8 monitor and camera system. The system had worked well for many years, but in the past few months, the usb charging port became looser and looser, so that finally it The previous system we had invested in included two cameras, so we wanted to continue with that. I think this was a great alternative. Some may argue that the USB charging port is a better choice due to its universality and easy connection, but I like the round-ended charging port because of its security. I didn't get to see any of the soldiers in there). Overall, the display is excellent, the unit holds a charge well, and the picture quality is well above average. Our cameras are mounted over the kids' beds, so the night vision is not so good since the infrared lights are not too bright. However, they provide adequate night vision since they are mounted over the kids' beds. The fact that these are not connected to WiFi is especially appealing to me The privacy you gain outweighs what you sacrifice in convenience. The system has proven to be very reliable and easy to use.

I was amazed by the customer service provided by this company when my monitor unit broke
5/5

The monitor was a replacement for an old broken one. It finally bit the dust this year (top button became permanently down) after we purchased our original monitor and camera set in 2016. It was supposed to last us a little longer but with a second child we were hoping for a bit When I contacted infant optics for assistance, I thought there was little chance they would do anything as the unit was past the warranty period and they were still offering to cover a portion of the purchase price. Great customer service at its best! This is the reason I originally bought this video monitor set and it has lived up to Though we encountered some issues, we are still very pleased with our decision 3 years later!.

I would highly recommend you buy the additional warranty if you buy this
3/5

This monitor had been a real pleasure to use at first. "Had" is the active form of the verb. Since I've owned it now for three months, it's become one of my favorite things. In preparation for the birth of our third child, we purchased a monitor, two cameras, as well as the wide angle lens. Even with a newborn I like the ability to monitor their rooms even when I am not directly with them. A special needs child of ours has several days of work in the home for several days a week with a therapist. Overall, I like the idea of seeing what's going on without being intruders. This set was good until we were 2 days out of returning it. did not take into account was the fact that I would be traveling with the monitor all day. I used to walk up and down stairs and into the yard all the time. I've owned three other monitors before and they were quite reliable. The clip could be clipped on my back and I could It does not include a clip and instead is only equipped with a rather flimsy stand that I can grab onto with a finger as I walk around. Due to the fact that the other monitors did not have the features of this monitor (such as a scan feature, the ability to connect up to four cameras, etc. ) we opted to buy it instead. There is no way this monitor can be used for a long time. It only takes one drop, from a height of no more than 2 feet, for the screen to shatter. My life was turned upside down. There were only two days left before the return window closed. In addition to the replacement monitor, batteries, and the replacement protection plan, I have also ordered the replacement protection At this point, we are all putting in around $500+ each. It has taught me a lesson to avoid items like these in the future.

To sum it up 1) The cameras are of a decent Keeping an eye on the center will obviously give you the best results, and this is unlike looking through a Nikon. I'm not sure if they're fuzzy or not. If you want a wider field of view, you can buy lenses for that. 2) It is absolutely NOT durable if you have to carry it around all day long. Drop your monitor or bang it and it's toast, and it's not worth the replacement price of $100. Other than these three, I have three others that were stronger, and yes, I or my husband have dropped each of them. The majority of them were only scratched when they survived. *3) Customer service is not great at this company. Hopefully you will find the information you need if you have any questions or issues. The people don't care about what's going on and aren't willing to It was an incredibly pithy reply, a mere 5 sentences, that boiled down to "Sucks to be you. ". When I spent more money replacing the monitor I broke, I contacted the company to see what could be done to get my money back. It is sad to say that this design is flimsy, and I asked if there was a protective cover available. My inquiry was met with an answer that no monitors have such a feature. I understand, thanks. My sincere thanks go out to Why not propose one politely? That's what I gathered, so I suggest it. In light of the fact that the monitor itself is so very fragile, considering it is said to be mobile. I would opt for a cover for this, and I'm sure others would as well. You might also want to consider implementing a clip on feature. Perhaps you should concern yourself with your customers who are spending hundreds of dollars on your product. Give them the attention they deserve and take their requests into account. Since we purchase your products, it is important to keep in mind that we do so 4) The battery to last for a full night only lasts around 6 hours, so you won't be able to sleep for very long. The sound of beeping at 4 am is not what I want to hear. Batteries are ruined by leaving them plugged in for long periods of time. Customers may be interested in another way to earn money. I think it is a waste of money to spend so much on a product, just to have that product break so You will end up wasting your hard earned money if it breaks and you have to replace it. So either buy a completely different monitor or buy the protection plan and hope for the best. This monitor is fragile and will break, so be sure to purchase the protection plan for it. After experiencing this, and having been disappointed with the customer service and design of the product, I cannot recommend this product. As I recall, I enjoyed it a lot. I feel bad for you.

I love this monitor and the customer service is excellent
5/5

The baby monitor in question is our favorite! When we bought one in 2016, the antenna was working fine until my toddler dropped it and broke it. I thought to myself, "What the heck? ", as we were well beyond the warranty period. In spite of that, I contacted customer service. Despite the fact that they sent me a free monitor, they did not charge me anything for it. They sent a second package because the first one they sent was lost in the mail, so they sent a new one which arrived safely in our mailbox. As part of baby #3, we're going to buy a third camera unit in addition to the one we bought in 2017. There is not enough praise for their customer service, and I would highly recommend this product to everyone!.

There's no love lost between me and the baby monitor
4/5

The cameras I bought are now five in number, plus three of these. The reliability is poor, however customers who are within the warranty period can purchase the product with confidence. They switched away from USB charging for the camera now, and it is a big disappointment to me. It is also not ideal that some of the camera audio will stop and require the camera to be restarted, even though this is a problem with the All that said, it’s still the only non-alcoholic beverage on the market Featuring a good wireless range, the wireless monitor system has a We have been able to take the monitor to the back yard and view our little ones sleeping in their rooms when we took the monitor out with us in the back yard since it uses the same frequency as WiFi. This monitor unit replaced our second (of which was replaced the first time under warranty) monitor unit that had completely died. It is important to note that the battery is not included.

There is a lack of coverage of the signal
3/5

My partner and I are ordering a replacement monitor in hope that it is merely defective. This monitor is replacing our last monitor of almost three years that took a beating and began to fall apart. Perfectly compatible with both of my cameras (one for each of my children). Everything seems to be going well. It will be a while before I put my children My device says it is out of signal range after walking about 10 feet away from the room. What a ridiculous thing to say. My kitchen is too small for me to carry it downstairs. Despite my apartment being down the hall, it has no access to my bedroom. I am not ok with that. It reached as far as the other side of I know there is a better way to do this. In the future, I hope this issue is resolved in the next unit shipped.
