Customers say
Customers find the wide-angle lens ideal for viewing entire rooms, particularly noting it can see cribs and rocking chairs, and works well during the day with lights on. The lens is easy to install and use, and customers consider it a great investment for baby monitors. The picture quality and night vision receive mixed feedback – while some report great clarity during the day, others mention grainy images, and several note the night vision isn’t satisfactory.

Customer Service is AMAZING!
This review is for the Wide Angle lens as well as the infant optics DXR-8 Camera. Since I received the camera from our baby registry, could not submit review. So had to submit review on the Angle lens website for the DXR-8 Camera and Lens.Infant Optics DXR-8 Video Baby Monitor with Interchangeable Optical LensI have had the DXR-8 for about 18 months. Works amazing!…It was so good, that I decided to purchase the wide angle lens. My review is below:Pros- Easy Setup, just have to “link” camera unit to hand held unit, took about 2 minutes- Clarity, in the dark, you can clearly see the crib and baby, its black and white in the dark, but when the light comes on its color.- Can Zoom in if needed as well as PAN, TILT, etc…amazing!- Changing lens out is basically like screwing in a light bulb…super easy- Distance!…we live on the third floor, and I have taken the hand held unit all the way to the mailboxes, which is downstairs, outside, about 150 feet away….and it still has signal….between walls, elevator, and sidewalk. However as soon as I pass the mailboxes, then it looses signal…but 150 feet is pretty good.Cons- My wife can not live without it. Why is this a con? – see belowAmazing Customer Service!- Basically last week, the battery was not holding the charge. So i contacted customer service, they suggested few methods and that did not work. Gladys one of the CSR, stated that i was out of the warranty period, HOWEVER they were willing to replace unit. I just had to ship them my old one!. BUT again, here is the con – My wife can not live without it! – so I could not send my old one back because it would be a couple of days we would not have a monitor. So I mentioned this to Gladys, and within 24 hours, she replied back to me stating they were sending me a replacement, and that they were trusting me to send my unit back. WOW!, who does that nowadays!. That blew my mind. I had to write a review!. I had to give this company props!…Anyway, I received the replacement yesterday and connected it. Works Great!…and Yes I shipped my old unit out today! :)Lastly, ironically, on the news today I heard all these fake reviews that have been hitting Amazon lately, and I want to say, this is not Fake, I am actually an owner of the DXR-8 camera as well as the wide angle lens. I DID NOT GET PAID TO DO THIS REVIEW!. I just wanted to let people know what a GREAT COMPANY this is and what an awesome CSR Gladys was.

Game changer
Our newest family additionâs crib was not as tall as their siblingâs. So the Infant Optics camera, which is zoomed quite tight into the crib didnât work well. This wide lens does a very good job opening the picture with minimal to no distortion, that I can make out.

Can Include most of the room & Night Vision works great!
I purchased the wide angle lens because I had to install the camera at the very top of my wall at the ceiling in order to get the whole crib in the picture.I was worried about the night vision due to other reviews, but the manufacturer stated that issue was fixed. It definitely is fixed because I do not see a different between the regular lens or night vision lens.Pros:- I could install the camera lower and get the whole crib and additional parts of the room- By installing it lower I could accurately use the temperature feature of the camera- Night vision and regular vision works great- Did not affect the quality of the picture at allCons:- The night vision does have a ‘hot spot’ but this is more of a camera con rather than because of the actual lens. I had this same ‘hot spot’ using the regular lens as well.Overall it works great and I absolutely needed this wide angle lens for this camera in order to use it the way that I wanted to.

Great addition to camera
Weâve been using this camera for a while and when my daughter decided she wasnât going to nap anymore we wanted a wide angle camera so we could keep an eye on her when she was having quiet time. This works great and was super affordable. My only complaint is that now when trying to have it just on my daughter’s bed at night, that the image is a bit blurry but it doesnât make sense to unmount the camera and take the lense off each time. Overall, would definitely buy this again and will for my other daughter when the time comes.

Perfect. Exactly what I needed.

Exactly what I needed!
The difference in the field of view is crazy! This $12 lens saved me from buying a whole new monitor and camera system. I didnât like letting my kids play in their room while I got things done around the house cause they would always end up out of frame. This lens can see even wider than the floor. I will say, the single zoom in is about the original FOV without the wide angle, but the quality when zooming in does degrade with each zoom. SO happy with my purchase!

Must have!
You need this if the original camera’s lens is not wide enough. We were upset that we purchased such an expensive device but could not get the full view of the baby/ area. This cheap lens will completely fix that problem.

Great for day. Terrible for Nighy.
I bought this hoping it would allow me to see the entire nursery room in preparation for moving both of my kiddos in the same room. I really didn’t want to spend and additional $90 on a second camera for this Infant Optics system if i could get away with using a wode angle lens.The view during the day is a tiny bit blury but still clear enough that it gets the job done. I had pretty high hopes that my purchase of this lens was going to save me from buying the second camera. I quickly found out that night though, that the night vision on this is pretty awful. Guess I’m buying a second camera after all.I’d recommend this if you’re plan is just to have view of a room while you’re doing things around the house and just need to see a kiddo play in a room while you get things done during the day.If you’re hoping to use this at night, I wouldn’t recommend.

As stated.. Great product

The best baby and toddler monitor ever created.

This a a great wide lens only if it is used in a room with light. As soon as you turn out the lights and want the night vision to kick in, it gives a terrible picture. Even with the camera brightness on max itâs still very hard to see. We ended up no longer using it in the bedroom and instead have it installed in the playroom.

Does what it’s told to do is a little pricey considering but overall I’m happy with the purchase.
