I keep a lot of valuable things in my garage. Having the peace of mind that my garage is safe (to some extent) is huge for my sanity. That’s why I love the myQ Smart Garage Door Video Keypad , which keeps an eye on who’s lurking around your garage door, while letting you grant access remotely to guests or for deliveries. And it’s surprisingly cheap right now—discounted 50% on Amazon, to $39.99. This is the lowest price it has ever been, according to price tracking tools .
To be able to control the keypad remotely, you’ll also need a hub , which goes for $28.83 on Amazon. You can also buy the keypad and hub in a bundle for the same price as picking them up individually. If you want any video history of what the camera records, as well as features like people detection and downloading, you’ll need a mY Q subscription , which starts at $24.99 per year. (Higher subscription tiers offer more advanced detection features.)
The battery for the keypad lasts one to three months, but it’s rechargeable. You can buy a bundle with a spare battery , or get the bundle that lets you wire your keypad so you never have to worry about it dying. The keypad integrates with Ring, Vivint smart home environments, Amazon Key, and IFTTT. It’s also compatible with LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Craftsman, Raynor, and AccessMaster garage door openers manufactured after 1993.
The camera records a 1080p video feed with a 160-degree viewing angle and a two-way audio system. The keypad lets you set multiple codes to open the garage manually or you can give temporary or permanent codes to guests through the companion app (up to 16). You’ll need to connect it via 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. And yes, the keypad screws into a wall, so nobody can just walk away with it.
