We present high-speed photoelectric observations of a 13th-mag cataclysmic binary BZ Cam (=0623+71), gathered in 1989 and 1990. The data were analyzed by means of the Fourier technique. The most prominent feature detected in the power spectrum is a 3h36m period which we ascribe as being a photometric orbital modulation. This period is significantly different from the periodicity previously known from spectroscopic observations. The power spectrum shows also quasi-periodic oscillations of shorter time-scales but any conclusions about their stability can not be drawn yet.
