Hydrogen atmosphere pulsating white dwarfs, also known as DAV stars, are the most abundant type of pulsating white dwarfs. High-temperature DAV stars in general exhibit a small number of pulsation modes and stable frequencies. G132-12 is one of the pulsating hydrogen atmosphere white dwarf stars which lies close to the blue edge of the instability strip. Previous researches reported that G132-12 might have only one pulsation mode with the period of 212.69 s. To study the pulsation properties of G132-12 in detail, we carried out a bi-site observation campaign in October 2019. Time series photometric data were collected during around 154 h in total. A Fourier analysis reveals three frequencies which are identified as the triplet of an l = 1 g-mode pulsation with the period of 212.499 s. The rotational period is derived as Prot = 35.0 ± 6.7 h and the inclination of the rotational axis to the line of sight is 70°. G132-12 could be an ideal target for measuring the cooling scale of this white dwarf star with only one excited pulsation mode detected.
