Smart Garage Door Opener with Camera

I was looking for a smart garage door opener like the Meross, but I would prefer it to have a camera as well.

I couldn't find any such option with Meross. Does anyone here have a similar setup?

    Just separately use any of the many IP cameras that are on the market?

      This is the way . Don't think I have ever seen a garage opener with camera

    It would be easier to just open it with the supplied fob.

      Mate had 2 cars stolen few weeks ago from his garage..
      The cops caught the kids who had "a dozen" garage remotes..
      The cop explained they drive around pressing remote buttons till a door opens then they enter and steal… That sounded like manure to me, but if its that easy I'll just go manual door opening

        they drive around pressing remote buttons till a door opens

        or "Hey Google, Open the garage door…"

          "Certainly, may I have your pin?"

          • @spackbace: "1234"

            • @jv: Nah .. it is "0000"

              • @LFO: 😲 How did you guess my neighbour's pin???

        Why can’t they just steal cars off the street?

        These thieves sound like they’re not very time efficient.

      • Your gonna open a 6m panel door manually lol

      • You could alway turn the power off overtime you came home and parked.

      • Sounds like walking around parked cars and prodding door-handles until an unlocked door opens …

        There are remotes and there are remotes.

      But opening a garage door with a Canon would be pretty spectacular!

      • Depends whether it is full frame or not…

    My Reolink setup just sends an open command when the camera over the garage AI detects a "car" in the driveway ;)

    Has not opened for any human or pet yet :P

      What if a robber drives up to your door - are they getting in

        Yes, real smart.

        • As you are the authority, if you say so ;) Just ass-u-me as much as you like … that sounds real smart too :P

            @7ekn00: He is right, you need to put more validation before opening the garage

      • Not sure how they are getting thru the gate or via the number plate recognition, but sure …

    Wyze now makes one (currently sold out) but they don't do HomeKit so doesn't suit my use case. As there's power readily available I use a cheap camera in conjunction with my Meross so I can check the door if I think it could be open.

    I have a Reolink camera in my garage pointing at the door. Doesn't need to be anything complicated.

  • ismartgate makes garage door openers and cameras. I'm not sure if they work together or can be linked. I use an IFTTT, if garage door opens, start recording the garage camera.

  • Hi.

    Just moved I to a new house. And found out on a forum that our garage door has camera and app

    We have the Centurion Garage Door. Pretty basic app that can open, close and turn our off light. The camera comes on when garage door opens and closes. I can't seem to find any recording or storage function.

    Hope that helps

    • Not compatible with roller style doors.

      Just fyi

  • Eufy has one: https://us.eufy.com/pages/security-garage-control-cam

    But for some reason they don't want to make it compatible in Australia. There are hardware and software constraints, easily resolve-able, they just don't want to.

    People have bought it from overseas to use in Australia, but not worth the hassle to workaround.
