UBV photometric observations of the seven hot stars in the Eta Car complex are reported. The variability of the objects on time scales from 1 d to 11 yr is investigated. Eta Car itself has exhibited increased brightness by 0.33, 0.28, and 0.25 mag in U, B, V, respectively, over the 11-yr period. No periodicity in Eta Car was found. CPD-59 deg 2603 shows two levels of brightness, which differ by about 0.3 mag in all filters. The remaining stars, including HD 93162 (WN7 + abs), do not exhibit light variability above 0.02 mag.
