4 Camelopardalis is a probable multiple star in the northern constellation of Camelopardalis,[11] located 177 light years away from the Sun, based upon parallax.[1] With a combined apparent visual magnitude of 5.29,[2] it is visible to the naked eye as a faint, white-hued star. The pair have a relatively high proper motion, traversing the celestial sphere at an angular rate of Script error: No such module "val". per year.[12] The system's proper motion makes it a candidate for membership in the IC 2391 supercluster.[13] They are moving away from the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of 22.5 km/s.[5]

The brighter member, designated component A, is classified as an Am star, which indicates that the spectrum shows abnormalities of certain elements.[14] It is an estimated 560[7] million years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 75[10] The star has 2.01[7] times the mass of the Sun and 2.57[8] times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 18[2] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 7,700 K.[9]

There is a faint, magnitude 9.49 companion at an angular separation of Script error: No such module "val". – component B; the pair most likely form a binary systemwith a period of about 90 years.[6] There is also a 13th-magnitude visual companion Script error: No such module "val". away which shares a common proper motion and parallax.[15][6] Another listed companion, a 12th-magnitude star nearly Script error: No such module "val". away, is probably unrelated.[16]
