We have conducted a long-term V-band photometric monitoring of M33 on 95 nights during four observing seasons (2000 - 2003). A total number of 6418 lightcurves of bright objects in the range of 14 - 21 mag have been obtained. All measurements are publicly available. A total of 127 new variables were detected, of which 28 are periodic. Ten previously known non-periodic variables were identified as periodic, 3 of which are Cepheids, and another previously known periodic variable was identified as an eclipsing binary. Our derived periods range from 2.11 to almost 300 days. For 50 variables we have combined our observations with those of the DIRECT project, obtaining lightcurves of up to 500 measurements, with a time-span of ~7 years. We have detected a few interesting variables, including a 99.3 day periodic variable with a 0.04 mag amplitude, at the position of SNR 19.
