It's often used as both: CamelCase and camelCase. I believe there's another term for the second one though.

Have a look at the link below for many other names for it:

CamelCase, camel case or medial capitals is the practice of writing compound words or phrases in which the words are joined without spaces and are capitalized within the compound. The term's name comes from the uppercase "bumps" in the middle of the compound word, suggestive of the humps of a camel. An example is backColor.

There are many other names for this practice, including camelBack, BiCapitalization, InterCaps, InfixCaps, MixedCase, and PolyCaps. CamelCase is a standard identifier naming convention for several programming languages, and has become fashionable in marketing for names of products and companies. Outside these contexts, however, CamelCase is rarely used in formal written English, and most style guides recommend against it.

Variations and synonyms
There are two common varieties of CamelCase, distinguished by their handling of the initial letter of what would otherwise be the first of separate words. Where the first letter is capitalized is commonly called UpperCamelCase, PascalCase or BiCapitalized. Where the first letter is left in lowercase is commonly called lowerCamelCase.[citation needed] For clarity, this article will use the terms UpperCamelCase and lowerCamelCase, respectively.
