Can anyone tell me if their camera works without a battery as long as its plugged into the wall?

NO. The camera is built not to accept a battery. It works with its electrical cord plugged in to an electrical outlet. The camera monitor can work with its electrical cord plugged in only if its battery is installed; the battery alone works, without its electrical cord plugged in, as long as the battery has enough charge to power on.

Can you use this with the DXR-5 model?

I don't think this battery is compatible with DXR-5. I have a DXR-5 and it looks different than all the other customer photos. And it doesn't connect, so that's kind of the end of the line.

The battery will not hold a charge. Why

In 3 years we have been through about 3-4 batteries. Eventually they just lose the ability to hold a charge. You can buy a battery separate from Infant Optics. It's not ideal because an expensive monitor becomes more expensive with the addition of each new battery.

The monitor won’t show a picture, only gives the screen saying…Warning out of signal coverage

It also issues a high pitched beep. Step closer to the unit you are monitoring. My system worked poorly in a brick home, but works wonders in a standard frame home. The signal is not reaching your monitor.

I'm going to go with 5 stars because it's like night and day compared to the original battery being on it's last leg. I do notice sometimes that once the charge drops to 50% area, it dies rather quickly, but great overall and no longer have to constantly leave it on the charger. Great price too.
