We tested the top smart garage door openers with built-in cameras and video keypads. The Chamberlain B6753T tops our list with its integrated 1080p wide-angle camera, motion detection, and 2-way audio. For retrofit setups, the myQ Video Keypad adds a camera to existing openers, while the meross Smart Garage Door Opener is the best budget pick for HomeKit users pairing with external cameras.
Your garage is the largest moving object in your home — and often the most vulnerable entry point. A smart garage door opener with an integrated camera gives you two things at once: the convenience of remote open/close control and a live video feed of who (or what) is coming and going.
We looked at the top contenders, from fully integrated openers to add-on video keypads and budget retrofit controllers. Here's what we found.
Field of view matters. A 130-degree wide-angle lens (like the Chamberlain B6753T's) covers both your driveway and the garage interior. Narrower lenses can miss package deliveries or someone lurking near the side door.
Two-way audio lets you talk to delivery drivers, scare off porch pirates, or tell the kids to grab the groceries before the door closes.
Ecosystem fit is the hidden tiebreaker. myQ is the dominant platform, but if you're all-in on Apple HomeKit, you'll want something like the meross that speaks HomeKit natively.
The Chamberlain B6753T is the rare smart garage door opener that does everything well. It packs a built-in 1080p wide-angle camera with a 130-degree field of view, motion-activated alerts, and 2-way audio right into the opener unit itself.1
That means no separate camera to mount, no second app to open, and no wiring headaches. The myQ app handles live streaming, open/close commands, and event history in one place. Motion detection can trigger recordings and push notifications so you know when someone pulls into the driveway — even if the door doesn't move.
Best for: Anyone replacing a worn-out opener who wants the simplest, most capable all-in-one solution.
Already have a garage door opener you like? The myQ Smart Garage Door Video Keypad adds a wide-angle camera, smart keypad, and smartphone control to your existing setup.2
It mounts next to the service door (the walk-in door beside the garage door) and gives you a camera view of both the garage interior and driveway. You get the same myQ app experience — live view, open/close, alerts — without replacing your whole opener.
The trade-off: the camera angle is fixed at keypad height, so it won't give you the overhead driveway view that the B6753T's ceiling-mounted camera provides.
Best for: Homeowners with a reliable existing opener who want to add video monitoring and smart access at the entry point.
If you're on a budget or you're committed to Apple HomeKit, the meross Smart Garage Door Opener is the retrofit controller to beat. It connects to your existing garage door opener via wired sensors and gives you remote open/close, scheduling, and Siri/HomeKit voice control for a fraction of the cost of a full opener replacement.1
The catch: there's no built-in camera. You'll need to pair it with a separate security camera (like a Logitech Circle View or Eufy cam) for video monitoring. But if you already have cameras you like, the meross is the most affordable way to add smart garage control.
Best for: HomeKit households and anyone looking for the cheapest reliable smart garage control.

Both the Chamberlain B6753T and the myQ Video Keypad run on the myQ platform, and that's a good thing. myQ is the most mature smart garage ecosystem — reliable push notifications, solid geofencing, and integrations with Amazon Key (for in-garage package delivery) and Google Assistant/Alexa.
The one gap: myQ doesn't natively support HomeKit. If Siri control is non-negotiable, the meross is your best bet.
