Our Review

The Infant Optics DXR-8 Pro is the updated version of the best-selling baby monitor in America. Its 5" 720p display connects via encrypted FHSS with zero interference, and the unique interchangeable optical lens system lets you swap between a standard lens and a wide-angle lens (included). Active Noise Reduction filters white noise machines so you only hear your baby. It's the no-frills, supremely reliable monitor that millions of parents trust.
