On the basis of new B and V observations the large variation in the orbital period of the eclipsing system Y Cam is studied along an interval over ninety years. An explanation of the minimum time residuals in terms of a third or a fourth body is discussed. Photometric solutions are calculated according to the Roche model. Multiperiod analysis of the Delta Scuti-type primary component of the binary system gives a period ratio of 0.97 which is consistent with non-radial pulsations. This ratio moreover seems to conform to the linear relation between rotational velocity and period ratio proposed for non-radial pulsators. The oscillation with larger amplitude has a period constant over an interval of at least 120,000 cycles.
