Ok it works fine and is easy to install but those are the only pluses. Battery life is atrocious. With absolute minimal usage the battery only lasted a month. If it was getting daily usage, battery would probably only last a week or less. Of course, I assume the purpose of this is to get you to buy spare batteries. At a cost almost equivalent to the cost of the unit itself. Then there is the storage plan. Unlike many cam cloud storage plans that allow numerous cameras on one plan, Chamberlain requires you to have a separate plan for each camera.Certainly not worth it especially if you have a plan on the garage door opener itself.

Hello. We are sorry to hear that your experience with the Video keypad hasn't been the greatest, and we apologize for any inconvenience you experienced with our product. I can confirm that you are able to select a 30-Day Multi-Device Plan where you are allowed to add more than one camera. To maximize the battery life of your myQ Video Keypad, we recommend setting your Motion Sensitivity Meter to either the low, or lowest setting. This will ensure your keypad is only capturing events immediate to your garage door proximity. Wi-Fi signal strength also plays a significant factor in the battery life performance of your device. You can view your Wi-Fi network strength in the myQ app under the Video Keypad Device Management Settings section. If your settings have already been set this way and your battery is still being quickly depleted feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] for any other potential inquiries. We appreciate your efforts.

Hi, thank you for your review on the myQ Video Keypad. Expected battery life depends on several factors including household activity, Wi-Fi signal strength, ambient temperature, and selected motion sensitivity settings. An example based on activity can be found below:
Quiet Household (fewer than 10 events per day): 3 months of battery life Typical Household (10-30 events per day): 2 months of battery life Busy Household (over 30 events per day): 1 month of battery life
The myQ Video Keypad does come with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery! This is a custom battery pack, but additional batteries are available for purchase if you want to ensure your device never encounters down-time. Please visit this link and let us know if you have any additional questions: myQ Video Key Pad Battery | myQ https://www.myq.com/products/smart-garage-video-keypad-battery

Very disappointed. I could not add the device into the MyQ app. Tried numerous times and attempted to contact support. Unfortunately it was after hours. This unit is bulkier that expected. The keypad/camera is not very secure in the mounting bracket. Finally I am concerned about frequently the battery will need to be charged. I will return this item.

Works as expected, I haven't had any battery complaints like some other have stated. 2 main complaints. The app spends too much screen trying to give you tips or sell you more products. The battery doesn't use USB-C to charge.

Great Tech Support, TERRIBLE PRODUCT

I bought this on Friday and spent all weekend trying to set it up. To say that the documentation is inadequate would be a gross understatement. There is NO documentation - only a QR code without so much instruction as to say "open this." After several tries, it finally worked. Task 1: Charge the Battery. That took more than 12 hours! Spent all night on the charger. Task 2: Set up your opener. I tried a dozen times without success. Spent an hour on the phone with a really nice tech support guy who informed me that my battery was almost dead! My response was, "Are you kidding?! Just from trying to set the thing up?!" Another overnight charge session... Tried again today. After several more failed attempts, the app instructed me to go to the back of the physical opener, so I moved the car, got the ladder but then it just connected on its own! Added my pin, my wife's pin and then a pin for a contractor we use. The first two work, the third one is "expired". Huh? I tried again - multiple times with longer and shorter pins - all "expired, expired, expired". I called Tech Support again. They have no clue what is happening. They said they are researching it and will "call me back later". However, even if we find a way to get the third code to work, the Tech informed me that I'll probably only get 4-6 weeks of battery life with "normal use", assuming it is not too hot or too cold. Are you kidding?! I do appreciate the honesty, but all I can say is, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS PRODUCT! It is not ready for the mass market.
