Hardware analysis of the myQ Smart Garage Door Keypad identifies a 2K (1440p) optical sensor integrated with a 2.4GHz 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi radio. Technical specifications indicate the unit utilizes Chamberlain’s Security+ 2.0 encrypted rolling code protocol, operating across the 310, 315, and 390 MHz frequencies to minimize signal interference.
Performance metrics demonstrate a 130-degree field of view with night vision capabilities. Material analysis confirms an IP55 weather rating, providing resistance to moisture ingress, though the chassis seals are subject to UV-related degradation over extended exposure. Data indicates the high-amperage draw of the 2K camera and PIR motion detection sensors can lead to rapid battery depletion in sub-zero climates.
Standardized testing reveals that frequent polling for motion detection triggers the high-drain Wi-Fi radio, which may lead to offline status reports if the power source is not stabilized.
Operational capabilities include an illuminated keypad for low-light conditions and seamless integration with modern opener logic boards. To mitigate the reported power-hungry nature of this video-integrated unit, the myQ Smart Garage Door Keypad Wired Power Adapter is recommended as a technical supplement to ensure a constant 5V DC supply.
This device functions as a high-fidelity endpoint within the video doorbells and entry monitoring category, providing visual verification of perimeter activity.
