We report time-resolved photometry of the cataclysmic variable V849 Her, and
measure a period of 0.1414 \pm 0.0030 days (3.394 \pm 0.072 hours). We also
present photometry taken over several weeks in 2010 and 2011, as well as light
curves from 1995 to 2011 by the American Association of Variable Star
Observers. The spectra, absolute magnitude derived from infrared magnitudes,
and variability all suggest that V849 Her is a nova-like variable. The shallow
(0.5-magnitude) low states we observe resemble the erratic low states of the VY
Sculptoris stars, although they may recur quasi-periodically over an average
cycle of 12.462 \pm 0.074 days.
