In Texas and maybe in other states, you know how garages can become… a catch-all for everything from old bikes to Christmas lights and mystery boxes.
Recently, after buying a new car and realizing just how cluttered and outdated our garage setup was, we decided it was time for a major cleanout—and a serious tech upgrade.

We swapped out our old Chamberlain system and upgraded to a MyQ Smart Garage Control with the MyQ garage camera video keypad and the My Smart Garage Camera. With two teenagers now driving (yikes!), it wasn’t just about convenience anymore it was about safety, control and peace of mind.
As someone who travels often, having a MyQ smart garage control setup has honestly been a game-changer. Whether I’m on a quick weekend trip or away for work, I don’t have to wonder, “Did I close the garage door?” or “Is everything okay at home?
So What Is the MyQ Garage Camera Video Keypad?
Great question. At first, I wasn’t even sure what made a video keypad different from a regular garage opener. But once we installed the MyQ garage camera video keypad, I instantly saw the benefits.

It’s a smart video keypad that lets you see who’s coming and going, get real-time alerts, and even speak through it—all from your phone. No more guessing who opened the garage while we’re at work or out for the evening.
What Does the My Smart Garage Camera Do?
The My Smart Garage Camera is a small device that makes a big difference. It gives us live video feeds right from our garage, with motion alerts and cloud video storage.
I can literally check my phone and see if the kids got home safely or if I left the garage door open (again). It pairs perfectly with the smart garage control, making the whole system feel integrated and effortless.
Is It Really Better Than What’s Already on the Market?
After using it for a few months now, I can honestly say: yes. What sets MyQ apart is how everything works together. The smart garage control isn’t just an app-based remote—it learns your habits, reminds you to close the door, and gives full access management.

You can set unique codes for family members, delivery people, or guests. Plus, it integrates with Amazon Key for in-garage deliveries. No more soggy packages or porch pirates!
Do You Need a Smart Garage System?
Honestly, we didn’t think we needed one—until we had it. Between the increased security, the ability to monitor teen drivers, and the pure convenience of remote access, we’re wondering why we waited so long. Especially here in Texas, where garages are basically a second living space, it just makes sense to keep it secure and smart.

Whether you’re upgrading your home tech, cleaning out the chaos, or just trying to keep an eye on who’s coming and going, I highly recommend checking out the MyQ smart garage control system. It’s more than a garage door opener—it’s peace of mind.
Final Thoughts
A garage is the gateway to your home. It deserves the same attention and technology as your front door. With products like the MyQ garage camera video keypad and the My Smart Garage Camera, we’ve not only modernized our space—we’ve made it safer for our family.
Even better, if someone needs to drop something off or get inside while I’m away, I can remotely open the garage or give them a temporary access code. No more hiding spare keys or leaving doors unlocked—everything is secure, trackable, and on my terms.
Travel already comes with enough stress. Knowing my garage (and my home) is protected while I’m gone is one less thing to worry about.
If you’re thinking about making the switch, do it. Your future self (and your car, and your Amazon packages) will thank you.
