By: Jackie Lorenty (Executive Vice President, Residential Services & International, at Chamberlain Group)

At Chamberlain Group, our mission has always been to create smarter, more secure homes through innovation. Today, we're taking a significant step forward with the expansion of our myQ Smart Home Ecosystem, introducing the new myQ Smart Outdoor Camera. This isn’t just another camera; it’s a vital part of our broader vision to become the only smart home access and monitoring system in the market.

When we first envisioned combining the Smart Outdoor Camera with advanced object detection, we were focused on how software could lead the way to better, more intelligent notifications and proactive solutions for homeowners. That’s exactly what we’ve achieved with the launch of this product—delivering on our promise to enhance homeowners’ peace of mind through smarter, more intuitive technology that helps protect their families.

Why the myQ Smart Outdoor Camera?

The myQ Smart Outdoor Camera is all about enhancing both security and convenience for homeowners. With myQ Smart Secure, a proprietary technology, when the camera detects a person, myQ can automatically lock doors and close garages at pre-scheduled times, no matter where you are.

This weather-resistant camera provides crystal-clear monitoring with 1080p Full HD video, color night vision, and a wide-angle lens, ensuring every inch of your property is covered. Our camera isn’t just about monitoring—it’s about actively helping you make your life easier and your home more secure.

  • Crystal Clear Outdoor Monitoring: Enjoy day and night color vision, a 130° wide-angle lens, and adjustable two-way audio.
  • Quick Convenience: Real-time notifications and easily review motion history.
  • Personalized Control: Customize the camera’s detection zones and smart features with ease.
  • Continuous Power: With a 25ft power cord, users won’t miss a thing.

Enhancing Your Security with AI

Our new AI enhancement features are designed to work seamlessly across the entire myQ ecosystem, including this latest camera. We’ve introduced advanced object detection capabilities, such as Vehicle Detection and Animal Detection. Whether it’s recognizing a car pulling into the driveway or noting when the family dog is outside, myQ’s AI-driven notifications provide timely and relevant updates that keep homeowners informed.

The Power of the myQ Ecosystem

What truly sets the myQ Smart Outdoor Camera apart is its seamless integration with the broader myQ ecosystem. This interconnected approach offers homeowners a unified experience across all their myQ devices. Whether you're checking the status of your garage door, securing the front entry, or now, monitoring the exterior of your home, myQ brings all these elements together in one intuitive app.

What next?

As we continue to grow the myQ ecosystem, our vision remains clear: to empower homeowners with the tools they need to protect and manage their homes in real-time. The launch of the myQ Smart Outdoor Camera, alongside our new AI enhancements, represents a critical step in this journey. By integrating these advanced technologies, we’re offering a comprehensive solution that not only monitors but actively secures every entry point of your home.

The myQ Smart Outdoor Camera is available now on myq.com, with the AI Vehicle and Animal Detection features available to eligible subscribers in November.
