minutes were recently also found in the VHE domain [@Gaidos; @David]. Many of the observed AGN are presumably visible only during a state of high activity. It still remains an open question whether these sources are only temporarily active and are completely inactive between times of flaring, or if there also exists a state of low but continuous $\gamma$-ray emission. In addition, the temporal and spectral properties of such a low VHE $\gamma$-ray emission state is mostly elusive as of to date. It is quite conceivable that, compared to a low state, the flare emission state is either due to a different population of accelerated particles or originates from a different region in the AGN, or both.

In the first year of operation of the Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cerenkov (MAGIC) Telescope a program has been started to search for new low and medium redshift blazars emitting at VHE $\gamma$-rays (Albert et al. 2006b; 2006c; 2007a). In addition, known VHE AGNs were monitored in order to study common features of their $\gamma$-ray emission, as well as the properties of the low-emission state (Albert et al. 2006a; 2007b; 2007c).

A good candidate for detailed studies is 1ES2344+514. This AGN belongs to
