Installation Simplicity at its best
Couldn't resist as a Best Buy Deal of the day, only regret was that I should have bought 2 more. Super easy to install, the magnetic base makes it a snap to install directly under your garage door opener. Camera and sound quality is good. Receiving more Amazon deliveries and this camera makes it ideal to receive my shipments in my garage safely from the driver.

Good camera, but limited features behind a paywall
Personal home security cameras are a dime a dozen nowadays. If anyone ever asks me which are the best ones, I would say it mostly depends on what equipment/services you are already invested in. If you don’t already have a smart garage opener (which I highly recommend) then this camera isn’t really for you - because while it would conceivably work, you might lose out on some of the features. But the one exception to a recommendation I might give is the MyQ line of products. While I much prefer seeing all my security video feeds in one app (I mostly use Arlo - and yes, you can connect them and my Nest cameras to Google Home for example, but they don’t always reliably work within the app) I’d make an exception for this camera which ties into the opening and closing of your garage door. The camera itself is basic. It has 1080p resolution, and offers a wide field of view. It has night vision and a two way microphone (the latter can be disabled within the app). It detects motion and audio. It’s not intended for outdoor use, so you’ll want to keep it inside your garage. It’s powered by micro-USB which seems outdated, but it isn’t really an issue. Installation is pretty straightforward. You can attach it to anything metal using the magnets, or you can attach the magnet plate to drywall using a single screw and anchor (there’s a single hole in the middle of the plate). The magnets are pretty strong, so there’s no worry about it falling off. Obviously you can hang it on the wall, or on the ceiling (so long as you flip the orientation of the camera). The real issue with the installation, to me, was the length of the power cord. Like I said, the power cord is micro-USB and it’s hardwired into the brick. I didn’t measure the length of the cord, but it seems really short and might pose a problem depending on where you want to place it and the nearest power outlet. Most people might want to hang it on the ceiling where presumably you could plug it into the same outlet as the garage door opener. If that was the case, then the short power cord might not be a problem. Should you want to mount it somewhere else in the garage, you will be limited in your options (again, depending on the placement of your power cables). At the end of the day, this is a minor problem as you can always purchase a longer micro-USB cable - but still, an annoying one. Setting up the camera and connecting it through the app was super simple. Once it was plugged in and I opened up the MyQ app (note, I already had it installed as I already have a smart garage door opener), I added a device and boom, it was right there. It connected within a minute or so, but then it had a firmware update. Luckily that didn’t take long. All-in-all, from installing it on my wall (I didn’t have an option to install it on my garage’s ceiling) and connecting it to my app, it took just a few minutes. But what separates this camera from others is its integration with your smart garage opener. After setting it up within the app you’ll be asked to link it to a garage opener. What this allows you to do is to see the live feed of the camera while being able to control the garage from the same screen. Within the app you’re able to find tune the motion detection, audio detection as well as tweaking your notifications. The latter is important - to me. The moment I had my camera up and running I was getting notifications constantly (my kids were outside playing int the garage/outside). It was more than annoying. There’s an option to mute notifications like this for 2 hours (like when you know someone will be working in the garage for a few hours and you don’t want to be inundated with notifications). But you can tweak when you’re notified, like when the camera detects ANY movement, or just when the garage is opened. You can also specifically disable notifications when the garage is closed - again, so as to not get notifications if someone is working within a closed garage. The paywall. The BIGGEST downside to this camera is that you have to pay for any storage. There’s no local storage, and no free cloud storage (outside a 30 day trial). It will cost you $99 a year ($9.99 a month) to have 30 day cloud storage and smart detection and the ability to download clips. In other words, unless you pay for the service you are effectively paying for a live feed camera. This is a huge drawback to me, and the reason I can only give this camera 3 stars. Most people are likely to already be paying for some home security, and adding another $10 subscription (don’t get me started on all things subscriptions) it just becomes too much. I think there should be some balance - maybe 7 day free cloud storage and downloads? I just don’t see the subscription as a good value proposition. Maybe for your specific use, paying an additional $10 a month for having some kind of peace of mind in your garage makes sense, but not for me. But I’m okay with using this as a live feed of my garage, especially knowing I can check it immediately whenever the garage door is opened.
