C. ; Spinoglio, L. Abstract The results of a near-infrared photometric monitoring of the BL Lac object OI 287 are presented. The standard JHK photometry shows variability of maximum amplitude ~ 0.7 mag over the entire observing period of 23 months and ~ 0.3 mag on time intervals as short as ~ 3 hr. No spectral variability has been found. A fast monitoring performed in the H band, with a sampling period of ~ 4 minutes, provides evidence that variations can occur in this object on time scales of >~ 4 minutes and with an rms amplitude of 6%-7%. These variations show slow increasing and fast decreasing trends, but no clear indication of periodicity is apparent.
