About this deal
As one of the most expensive options in the group, it is hard to recommend this lackluster option that doesn't have WiFi and only offers sub-par sound. The signal is strong, the battery life is great, the video is crisp and clear, and the sound/volume is more than enough. We found the instructions easy to read; there’s even a troubleshooting section that addresses any issues that could arise. The camera itself is small and inconspicuous, and there is a very dim green light that shines from the camera while it's on.
Large metallic objects, including doors, refrigerators, mirrors, filing cabinets, and also reinforced concrete, may block the radio signal if between the Camera and Monitor Unit.
I always play white noise in Ellie's room while she's sleeping, so the volume indicator is continually green or orange, but it always turns red when she cries.
I run several special projects including the Readers' Choice and Business Choice surveys, and yearly coverage of the Best ISPs and Best Gaming ISPs, plus Best Products of the Year and Best Brands. Even when the parent unit is right next to the child unit we still got an “Out of signal coverage” alert. The Infant Optics DXR-8 video monitor didn't perform well compared to the competition in our best video monitor review.This is one of the top baby monitors that we recommend, because it has high quality video, it has voice-activated alerts, slim parent device, and the set-up is oh so easy.
