Full details
This additional camera unit is designed for users who own the Infant Optics DXR-8 PRO monitor system and wish to expand their coverage. It offers the key benefit of allowing you to view multiple areas or children simultaneously with clear 720P video resolution. A key caveat is its incompatibility with older DXR-8 models; it specifically requires the DXR-8 PRO base unit. Key features include remote pan, tilt, and zoom capabilities, night vision, and a remote thermometer.

FAQs
Can I use this camera with my original Infant Optics DXR-8 monitor?
No, this DXR-8 PRO Add-on Camera is specifically designed for the Infant Optics DXR-8 PRO model and is not compatible with the original DXR-8 (3.5" screen) monitor.
How many cameras can I connect to my DXR-8 PRO parent unit?
The Infant Optics DXR-8 PRO parent unit can support up to four cameras in total. This add-on camera allows you to expand from the single camera that typically comes with the DXR-8 PRO system.
Do I need to buy a separate parent unit for this add-on camera?
No, this is an add-on camera unit. It requires an existing Infant Optics DXR-8 PRO parent unit to function and view the video feed.
Does this camera come with a zoom or wide-angle lens?
No, this is the standard camera unit. Optional zoom and wide-angle lenses are sold separately and can be attached to this camera.
What is the video resolution of this camera?
The camera features a High Definition CMOS lens that provides 720P video resolution.
What is the range of the camera?
The range depends on environmental factors, but Infant Optics generally advertises an optimal range of up to 700 feet in open, unobstructed areas. Walls and other obstructions can reduce this range.
Can I control the camera remotely?
Yes, with the DXR-8 PRO parent unit, you can remotely control the camera's pan, tilt, and zoom functions.
Troubleshooting
Camera not pairing with parent unit
Ensure both the camera and parent unit are powered on and within close proximity during the pairing process. Try resetting the parent unit by turning it off and on again. Refer to the DXR-8 PRO manual for specific pairing instructions.
No video feed from the camera
Verify that the camera is powered on and successfully paired. Check the distance between the camera and the parent unit; move them closer if they are too far apart. Ensure the camera is not obstructed.
Poor video quality or intermittent signal
Check for potential interference from other electronic devices (microwaves, Wi-Fi routers). Try repositioning the camera or parent unit to find a stronger signal. Ensure firmware on the parent unit is up to date.
Temperature reading appears inaccurate
Allow the camera to acclimate to the room temperature for at least 15-30 minutes after initial setup. Ensure the camera is not placed near a direct heat source or draft (like a vent or window).
