While a doorbell camera may be a great security tool for a front door, it won’t allow users to see who’s coming and going if the garage door is the home’s most-used entrance, which is often the case. This model from Chamberlain fixes that issue thanks to a 1080p motion-activated camera that streams live and recorded video footage to a smartphone via the myQ app.
In addition to providing remote garage surveillance, the app also allows users to set schedules, open and close the door, and program access. An integrated speaker allows for two-way communication between a smart device and the garage, while a belt drive powered by a ¾ hp motor makes it one of the best quiet garage door opener options. Chamberlain also makes accessing the garage versatile thanks to a wireless keypad, two wireless remotes, and a wall-mounted control panel.
