Following the report on flaring activity of MASTER OTJ005720.90+282557.1 by Balanutsa et al.,2014 (Atel #6686). We carried out NIR photometry recently, On November 17th,2014 (JD2456978.719363), we found this object with a flux corresponding to H = 16.224 +/- 0,07. This flux is more than 1 mag brighter than the upper limit in this band as inferred from the 2MASS Survey, confirming the variable nature of this object at NIR wavelengths. We plan to follow its behavior in the NIR in order to correlate those data with other time variable data. Our observations were carried out with the 2.1m telescope of the Guillermo Haro Observatory of the National Institute for Astrophysics, Optics and Electronics (Mexico), equipped with the instrument CANICA a NIR camera. We encourage further multi wavelength coverage of this object.
