myQ Smart Garage Door Video Keypad with Wide-Angle Camera,Customizable PIN Codes,and Smartphone Control–Take Charge of Your Garage Access Works with Chamberlain, LiftMaster and Craftsman openers,White

UPDATE II: After months of waiting for Chamberlain to fix the video delete function, they finally did it! I’m now VERY happy with ALL of my Chamberlain/MyQ devices and rate them 5 stars. I only hope the app developers learned a valuable lesson…IF IT AIN’T BROKE, DON’T FIX IT! UPDATE: my original post stands, and now for the reason I changed the rating to 2 stars: The software engineers and/or App developers put out a change to the already-working-just-fine MyQ App which removes the ability to BULK DELETE videos. You can only delete videos one-by-one, which, if you have 50, 100 or in my latest experience, well over a hundred recorded videos, you’ll spend 30-45 minutes or more, clearing videos from your storage account. The only other option is to delete them every single day, which is another pain in the burro. And here’s the kicker…Chamberlain has known for several months that this is a HUGE issue for users of their camera products, but has failed to fix the App in spite of too-numerous-to-count complaints on the App Store reviews. Chamberlain told me two months ago that they were aware of this problem and were working to resolve it. BULL! Two months later and it still isn’t fixed. All they had to do was issue another update, turning back the clock to the previous version. They aren’t fixing anything because, hey, they got their money for the cameras, so why fix anything? PREVIOUS REVIEW: This video keypad is fantastic in all respects but one, which I will address later in this review. Video quality is great, audio is crystal clear and easy to communicate with delivery people, etc. I’m glad I opted to upgrade from the basic keypad I’ve had for years. Setup was easy as well. Now for the shortcoming: although the battery lasts quite a long time (mine has been going for over 3 months before needing charging), it takes 10+ hours to recharge. That means no keypad or surveillance available all day (or night if you’re charging at night). And, to my knowledge and experience, the only way you’ll know the battery needs charging is a notification on your phone that the keypad is off line. To solve this issue, one must buy a second battery, keep it charged up, and swap batteries when the active one goes dead. That’s a $30 expense that I would rather have not had, but the alternative of no video surveillance and no keypad leaves no choice. And that’s why I gave this otherwise stellar device 4 stars instead of 5.

The quality of this camera is great, even compared to our Ring doorbell camera. The only issue is the battery life isn't as long as Ring. I've already had to charge it four times in just a few months. Doesn't seem like a big deal, but it gets inconvenient. The quality alone makes me want to switch our camera system to this brand, but I can't get passed the battery life. Super easy to set up and compatible with our 18 year old garage door opener. Viewing angles are pretty good and it picks up motion from a good distance.

The WiFi connection is always too weak to maintain a reliable connection to the point where I had to purchase an ethernet connected WiFi-6 access point and place it at the closest location I could within my house (that has a window and only one wall between it and the keypad). Even with this network upgrade the keypad can only manage 2 bars of wireless connection strength and frequently goes offline. I cannot rely on an intermittantly available garage door keypad which has to be used every day by my family and extended family who lives nearby. I purchased the hardwired version/upgrade kit to avoid battery replacement like I had with my OEM Genie keypad. However, now that I cannot rely on this poor excuse of technology myQ, I modified my OEM Genie keypad to now be hardwired for less than $10. I asked my family which keypad they tend to use and they all said the older Genie keypad. I asked why and they said because it always works. So, you might be thinking the myQ is still worth trying out because it has a camera and an app-based calling/communication feature via the keypad. From experience, I can tell you these features have never really been useful because of the limited WiFi connectivity, a required subscription service to take full advantage of the camera recording/playback features, lack of motion detection notifications (oh, it has those settings enabled, but they just dont work because I never get notifications... the myQ garage door open/close sensor sends me notifications but not the camera). Whenever I get notifications from my primary security cameras (Reolink), I will sometimes try to view the myQ garage keypad camera to get a different live view perspective. The problem that I also have encountered is a significant delay in connecting/viewing the live feed from the myQ camera. Sometimes requiring multiple attempts to connect all while the standby camera image shows 2-bars of WiFi signal. By the time I can view a live feed the activity is out of view or no longer relevant. (My Reolink cameras are nearly instant or occasionally delayed by 1-2 seconds.) The myQ keypad is a complete waste of time and money, and I get 1000% more satisfaction out of using my modified/hardwired OEM Genie keypad with a Reolink security camera system that actually works without the subscription fees. Why pay more money to a company that cannot deliver what they advertise/promise. Avoid this MyQ keypad if you want to keep your sanity.

When I found out it requires uninterrupted WiFi and Internet access to even open the door, I also had to try several times over the first week to get the WiFi settings to stick. It kept going offline. I almost returned it. I'm replacing a Liftmaster/Chamberlain dumb keypad, which doesn't require Internet. We don't lose Internet often, but we do have frequent guests, landscapers, propane delivery etc. I also gave a code to the local police & fire stations, so I need it to work. Second, the subscription prices are ok for one video keypad, but very high for two or more. I'm reconsidering that. Check it out before you buy this. That said, I still give this five stars. It's well made, also replaces a Ring Doorbell, so I won't have that subscription to pay. From my research, there really isn't a better option.

Very easy to install and use. Love the option for multiple codes. The down side is the battery life. Ours is not used alot and the battery was dead in 30 days. Disappointing battery life but ease of use. Decide what's important. Buying an additional battery for easy swap out when needed as the battery takes about 4 hours to re charge.

This video keypad looks nice and it's easy to install and program. However, the battery life is very short and the video feed takes a long time to load ,and the worst part is the wifi reception by the video keypad. If you don't have at least two bars on your wifi signal appearing on the video feed, don't expect the video feed to work reliably. Low wifi signal not only causes the inconsistent video functions but also depletes battery a lot faster. During one week of setting up this video keypad, I had to remove the battery and recharge for 8 hours already. When the keypad was initially connected to myQ garage door, programmed and set up inside the garage, it seemed everything worked. As soon as the keypad was mounted outside the frame of my garage door, no video, keypad worked, however. It says "oh no! something went wrong, etc." Sometimes it works, but most of time it's off-line. Even though the video is on-line, it will be off-line again after coming back from checking keypad settings on the video feed. After a few days of reset and changing my router position and antennae, inconsistent connection and video feeds problem still continued. My router is a relatively recent model and is located directly above the keypad and the distance is only a one-story high, 8 to 10 feet maybe. Changing placement positions of router and antenna didn't make any difference. Finally, I decided to buy a wifi extender and plugged into an outlet just opposite side of a wall where the video keypad is mounted. Now, the video feed has three bars of wifi signal strength and reasonably steady. Occasionally, the keypad video still goes off-line. It takes about 5 to 7 seconds for the video feed loads on the screen compared to 2 to 3 seconds of myQ garage camera. In summary, this video keypad has a potential to be a good security device for your home, but needs some improvements. I am listing pros and cons of this video keypad from my experience. Pros: 1. Looks nice 2. Easy to install and set up. 3. Video quality is good. 4. It provides security by monitoring your driveway. Cons: 1. Wifi performance is not good unless a router or extender is nearby. 2. Video feed takes long time. 3. Battery life is short. It seems recharging is needed every 2 -3 weeks. 4. Video keypad will be out of commission while the battery is being recharged. 5. Cost of the battery is $35.00 plus $5.00 shipping 6. In order to recharge, you have the remove the mounting screw and take out the battery. 7. Audio quality is rather terrible. I turn speaker off in my video feed. 8. Night vision is not good. 9. Recharging takes about 8 hours. 10. Replacement battery is available only through the myQ direct. 11. Spare battery not available to purchase at the Amazon together with the video keypad. 12. Person and motion detection is inconsistent. 13. Video storage cost $$ and needs a subscription.

We have had the MyQ Video Keypad for about a year now. It's great to know when someone has approached our property. And, should our garage door remotes ever fail us, we still have the means to open our door. The video quality is quite good and the alerts to any movement outside have had near perfect accuracy, including the neighborhood cats who regularly cross our property. We purchased a spare battery for non-stop surveillance and it's very easy to swap it out. We would highly recommend the MyQ Video Keypad.

The MyQ Video Keypad works OK but it is far less consumer-focused, customizable, and intuitive than other options. To MyQ’s disadvantage for me, my garage door and camera application at our old house was a combination of Nest Cameras I bought used off the marketplace and eKyro remote openers that are $39 a pair here on Amazon. The once I got those babies setup and working, they never stopped. The eKyro remote openers worked with Alexa and HomeKit and I believe they work with nearly all the other formats. The MyQ supposedly works with HomeKit but after many attempts, I gave up and haven’t revisited it. The Ekyros are corded and we live in Oklahoma. During storm season, we would lose power often so I had my openers and remotes connected to battery backups so that we and our neighbors could get into our storm shelter without issue. The battery is the real thorn for me with the MyQ. There has to be a way to provide continuous power the keypad using the low voltage wiring already present in a garage door electrical system. I also don’t like that you can only control one door with the keypad. Lemme get on with it. My review: 🙂 - Price — I think it’s a good value for the money 🙂 - WiFi security — industry standard 🙁 - Physical security — a single Phillips-headscrew Securing the camera and battery to the housing 🫤 - Setup — had to move my router within 10 feet to get a decent WiFi connection. 😕 - Connectivity — spotty. I get numerous (non- battery related) “Your MyQ Video Opener is offline Click here to see how to reconnect” messages weekly. ☹️ - Battery — Lacking. I purchased a 2nd battery due to the abhorrent charge time which is 8-12 hrs. I am changing batteries about every 6 days. Don’t buy the battery at original price. Chamberlain has a 50% Off sale periodically. 😉 - Programming — I found adding members and guests to be straightforward and simple. While we were away on quick getaway, one of our neighbors took care of our dogs and another took care of our pool. We gave them both separate codes and could see when they came and went. You can schedule the start and stop day and time. ☹️ - Video — I get black and white video. My connection went down several times as I’m writing this review and it “Fair.” My pool NestCam is 30 ft from the router and has clear, color video. See pic. Like I said, there are better options. I doubt I could get color video if I strapped the keypad to the router itself. 🙁 - Chamberlain — You all really need to separate your products so that consumers can read valid reviews and make educated purchase decisions. I hope this helps buyers and Chamberlain.
