Homeowners who use the myQ app to manage their smart home now have two more reasons to stay within the myQ ecosystem. Chamberlain Group announced two new smart devices: the myQ Outdoor Battery Camera and the first-ever myQ Video Doorbell.
Pardon my excitement, but anyone who already uses multiple apps to control their smart home tools understands the benefit of a centralized systems. As a myQ household, it's a release I've been waiting on for a decade. It's happening!
Two New Products, One Familiar App
If you're already using the myQ app to open and close your garage, the new camera and doorbell feel like a natural extension. The myQ Video Doorbell ($99.99) lets you see and talk to whoever’s at your front door from anywhere, while the myQ Outdoor Battery Camera ($99.99) keeps watch on your home’s perimeter—even areas like the backyard, side gate, or driveway. Because they’re built by Chamberlain, the new outdoor security works hand-in-hand with other myQ devices you might already own, whether it be wired cameras or door locks.
Both products come with flexible installation options, and the battery-operated camera itself even has a magnetic head for ease of removal to recharge.
The myQ Video Doorbell and Outdoor Battery Camera are available for preorder now at myq.com. For users already in the myQ world, this may be one of the easiest upgrades you’ll ever make.

Smarter Monitoring with Less Effort
What makes these devices stand out is how they respond, not just alert. Using features like smart detection and customizable alerts, the system doesn’t just notify you when something happens; it can act. For example, if the camera spots movement near the garage, it can automatically close the garage door or lock other connected smart locks.
This approach is part of what Chamberlain calls "proactive security." It’s not about watching everything all the time; it’s about letting the system handle things you don’t want to think about.
Built for the Whole Home
While myQ started as a garage solution, product expansion highlights the goal of full access and monitoring with a system that works from the front door to the backyard.
This kind of all-in-one platform is a big step up from most smart home setups, which often rely on several apps and complicated settings. Chamberlain understands that consumers (like me!) want smart tech that’s simple to manage. With these two additions, that’s what they’re delivering, and I'm looking forward to trying them.
