myQ Smart Garage Security Camera – 1080p HD Video, Night Vision, Motion Detection, Magnetic, Wi-Fi, Two-Way Audio, Smartphone Control

Great Camera with a magnetic base.
I recently purchased the smart hub and decided to also get the garage camera. Both products were very easy to set up and the subscription service is optional. Only if you want to record and back back up. I didn’t opt in for that since I only wanted the live view.Picture quality is great and even has night mode. What stands out to me the most is the magnetic for easy mounting. Definitely recommended as a great camera overall not just for the garage. If you have alot of metal around then this is the camera will benefit hugely from that since you can become creative on where you want to place it.

Works well and well designed.
I bought this as part of a cheap security system. Positives, affordable, very easy to install. So far, very impressed with the battery life, good image quality, good range of adjustment. Negative, as with all systems like this, it has a substantial lag to it. For what it is, this is as close to real time viewing as you are going to get without putting serious money into a pro-system and the expense of installation. Additional benefit is that you don’t have to mess with SD cards as recording is done on Chamberlain’s servers. For me, 100 bucks a year for video access is affordable. Maybe for other people, not so much.

Do not recommend
The jury is still out on this camera. I initially started with one camera. I found the myQ Outdoor Battery Camera easy to install, setup and use. After monitoring the camera for several days, I decided to add 3 more cameras to monitor the area around my house. My experience in the following weeks have been somewhat frustrating. When the cameras are working correctly, they are a pleasure to use. However, I have been experiencing a number of hiccups recently. The first thing I noted is that in high traffic areas, the battery will last only 2 to 3 days before requiring a recharge. To lengthen the battery life, I reduced the sensitivity (range) and created a smaller detection zone to reduce the number of activations. This has doubled the battery life. In less trafficked areas, the camera battery will last for one to two weeks before requiring a recharge. One camera disconnected from my wi-fi network for reasons that are a mystery to me. To reconnect it, I had to reset it not once but three times. Each time I went through the setup routine until I got to the network selection screen. The first two times, the camera refused to connect to my network. Fortunately, it connected on the third attempt and I was able to return the camera to service. Another camera intermittently does not recognize motion. Still another camera recognizes motion but will not record anything. I have tried resetting it twice and reconnecting it to my network but it does not record. This particular camera is going back to Amazon. I have my fingers crossed that the remaining 3 cameras will continue to function normally but time will tell.Update #1: I have discovered another anomaly that potential buyers should be aware of. With 3 cameras connected to my wi-fi network, I noticed that only one camera can be recording at a time. Two of my cameras have overlapping coverage and when one is recording, the other cannot even if has the better angle on the subject. Another problem I encountered is that these cameras will sometimes alert me to activity but fail to record anything. Very frustrating and greatly lowers the value of these cameras.Update #2: A second camera has stopped working. I have tried to recharge it but the charge indicator light does not come on. I have tried doing a hard reset but nothing happens. This camera disconnected from my network after about 14 months of use and now appears to be dead. I really do not recommend these cameras and I’m currently searching for cameras to replace them.

Works Great
I wanted to have a garage camera for security and kids purpose, this fits well to my needs. I really like the magnetic holder approach because that made the life easy to install. My recommendation in the power port is, it could have been a usb-c installed of mini HDMI port, which is mostly outdated today’s tech.It connect with the ring app seamless and I got it connected within minutes. Camera and Sound quality is gratifying and the videos recorded also looks good, I can able to customize many areas like notifications and the angle where the motions needs to be marked and very simple to use. It’s not just for Garage even we can use it as a home camera, and access it from anywhere.So far no issue and no logs and will recommend it.

Does not work in Australia and also no support given

Excellent camera! Works great, notifies me as soon as someone comes near the door or approaches the driveway. Excellent for maintaining your home safe and to know who is at your door.
