We discuss the infrared (IR) (1.25 5 µm) photometry of eight planetary nebulae performed in 1999 2006. For all of the nebulae under study, we have firmly established IR brightness and color variations on time scales shorter than one year and up to 6 8 years. The greatest IR brightness variations were observed in IC 2149, IC 4997, and NGC 7662. Their J magnitudes varied within 0{./ m }2 0{./ m }25. In the remaining objects, the J magnitude variations did not exceed 0{./ m }15. All of the planetary nebulae under study exhibited IR color variations. Based on the IR photometry, we have classified the central regions of the planetary nebula NGC 1514 and of the northern part of NGC 7635 seen through a 12″ aperture as a B(3 7) main-sequence star (NGC 1514) and a ˜O9.5 upper-main-sequence star (NGC 7635). The nebulae IC 4997 and NGC 7027 exhibited an excess emission (with respect to the emission from a hot source) at λ > 2.5 µm.
