I have only written a few reviews, so you know this is a bad product if I'm going out of my way to write about it! I am very disappointed with this product. We had a Samsung Monitor that died after using it for almost 3 years. I wasn't happy with the battery life of the Samsung monitor so I made the switch to this monitor and am sorely disappointed. It worked great for the first month, but after that it has slowly gone downhill. The battery lasts about 2 hours on a good day. It won't keep a full charge even if it's been charging all day it only had 1 bar out of 4. Now none of the face buttons work so we cannot change the volume, or turn on the scan option to flip between our toddlers rooms. The charging cord came in awful condition and we had to spend $10 on a new one basically right off the bat. I am very upset that we bought this monitor instead of the newer Samsung model.

We are very satisfied, and monitor our baby with that.
Pluses:
- Both day and night vision.
- Adjustable camera position (moves automatically, controlled from the display with left/right/up/down buttons), wide angle can be covered by that.
- Long-lasting batter on display, could be taken to the other room if needed, for almost a whole day.
- Dual-channel sound transmission. By default, you can hear your baby, and there is a button to talk in the other direction, that is a "camera talks" too (although our newborn is to small to benefit from that feature, as it would not understand us).
- Trivial installation - literally just attach chargers.
Minuses:
- Kind of low screen resolution, could be better (see pictures).

I'm not one to write reviews but.... I have REALLY enjoyed this item and have found it extremely convenient to view infant and assess all situations. The night vision and temperature controls are my favorite along with the actual clarity of picture. This camera has been by far a must have - for my day to day. The unit itself is very intuitive and user friendly. If you're on the fence about purchasing - I highly recommend this monitor.

In effort to stretch every dollar I questioned if could get by without a baby monitor all together. But last minute I caved and took the plunge, and I'm glad I did. The buttons/functions on the remote screen are easy to navigate, so easy I skipped reading the manual all together. Basically you open the box plug the camera in, and then plug the remote screen in so it will charge. You can use it right away if you leave the remote screen plugged in or you can wait till the remote screen is charged use it wireless. When the remote screen is charged it lasts me ususally the entire day. For me I only turn it on me my little guy is napping or sleeping. Later down the road I do plan on using it throughout the night when he graduates to sleeping in his own room. For longer periods of time I recommend having the remote screen plugged in, especially if it's over night. It's great at picking up sound throughout the room, so great it even can pick up some sounds in the next room over. The sound quality crystal clear without grainy static noise. The image quality on the screen is impressive. My friends drool over this baby monitior when they come over. I've had many mom's comment how outstanding the image quality is. The color is the best I've ever seen on a baby monitor and the image quality for both day and night is beyond outstanding. I should mention the remote screen has a "talk" button, in which when held down I can talk into the room where my baby is. I'm loving this. I can see how this will be useful as he gets older. One of my favorite features is that I can control the camera from the remote screen. I can make the camera scan the room and control the camera up and down, along with zooming in. Im currently saving money to buy more cameras. Not having dual cameras is literally my only drawback. This baby monitor is loaded with everything right and will not disappoint.

I love this thing! Its amazing! Great picture quality and sound! It is easy to set up and easy to navigate through the menu options! You wont regret buying it. I already want to add on more cameras! I did buy the wide view lense add on and that also is totally worth it. I didnt have any issues swapping the lenses and the night vision works amazingly on both! You wont regret buying it!

We upgraded to this monitor from a Summer infant monitor. This monitor is 10 times better! I have recommended it to every mother/expecting mother that needs a baby monitor. The picture is amazing! So clear, and the color is fantastic on it. It has adjustable volume, brightness, and zoom on the menu. It can get a view all the way around my nursery, which is great for when my son is in there playing and I want to keep an eye on him. I wish I had saved the money on the first monitor and just went straight to this one. The option for different lenses makes it really stand out from the rest. I use the wide angle lens on it at all times to get the most view of the room at once. I haven't had any problems with it and am very pleased. It past my exceptions on a monitor in this reasonable of a price point.

This monitor has really helped us. Now I don't have to check on my little one every time he makes a sound. I can just watch her from a floor below and be able to talk back as well. Very user friendly with a stable signal everywhere in the house.

The monitor is not what I expected for it's 6000 glowing reviews. It works but the picture isn't great at night which is the only time I use it, I can't turn off the sound completely without shutting down the whole unit (annoying when you're the one getting up and husband is still sleeping), and shutting down the unit takes 2 or 3 tries. Then you have to remember to turn it back on when you get back in bed. The sound is also adjusted through a shortcut menu which I don't understand why it wouldn't be one of the 5 buttons right on the front of the unit since you use it every day. It does not have a VOX mode either, which shuts down the unit when there's no sound or motion. The video does not kick on when it detects sound so I have to turn it on to see what's going on when I hear the baby. I upgraded from the dxr 5 to the dxr8 but I don't feel like it's much of an upgrade. The lesser dxr 5 has vox, automatic video turn on, and side volume buttons that will mute. I will say the range on the 8 seems good and it's a more solid feeling unit. I like the temp display. That's about it.
Editing to add: I did figure out how to turn down the volume to 0 without shutting off the unit, but I still don't love it. The charger now has to in a certain position to work which is annoying.

I bought this product about a month ago for my baby girl who will arrive in august. I tried it and I am very pleased so far. The look, the size, the view, the sound are very nice and I am happy with the product. I recommend this product.
