The 1 Camelopardalis system is part of the Camelopardalis OB1stellar association, which is 820 pc away.[12] 1 Camelopardalis A is a hot massive star which has evolved away from the main sequence to become a giant. 1 Camelopardalis B is 10" away and is probably an early B class subgiant.
There is an 11th magnitude star 150" away.[13] It has been considered to be a member of a triple system,[12] but Gaia observations show it to be an unrelated background object.[14]
