CHAMBERLAIN Smart Garage Door Opener + Video Keypad - Quiet, Secure

In this review of the CHAMBERLAIN Smart Garage Door Opener + myQ Smart Garage Door Video Keypad, the bottom line is straightforward: this kit is best for homeowners who want a quiet, well-lit garage with smartphone monitoring and time-limited access for guests or service providers. The biggest reason to buy is the integrated 1300 wide angle camera and myQ app control, which combine live and recorded video with unique PIN codes and remote open/close capability so you can manage access without leaving your phone.

Key Features

• Built-in camera: The 1300 wide angle camera lets you see and hear whats happening in the garage through the myQ app for real-time monitoring.
• Unique PIN codes: Easily create and share personalized access codes and set time-specific passes for family, guests, or service providers.
• Smartphone control: Download the myQ app to control, secure, and monitor the garage from your smartphone anytime, from anywhere.
• Integrated LED lighting: Corner to corner 2,000 lumen lighting uniformly brightens the garage and is motion activated for convenience and safety.
• Battery backup: Open and close the garage door even when power is out, with an available power adapter kit to retrofit the keypad to wired power.
• Quiet operation: An ultra-quiet DC motor with soft start/stop produces smooth, low-noise operation suitable for living spaces adjacent to the garage.

Who It's For

The CHAMBERLAIN kit is ideal for homeowners who prioritize remote monitoring and controlled access: families who want to grant time-limited entry to cleaners or dog walkers, people who value a quiet opener because of bedrooms over the garage, and anyone who wants live video integrated with their garage hardware. Installers and DIYers will also appreciate that many customers find installation straightforward enough for one person to complete.
