Review on 🏠 Enhanced Security with myQ Smart Garage HD Camera - Wi-Fi Enabled and Smartphone Controlled - Model SGC1WCH, White by Ben Chase

Revainrating 4 out of 5

However, as a garage camera, this is its greatest value.

We have this for sale. 1/3 off At this price it still feels overpriced, but it's not such a bad camera (clear image by day, "normal" night) and software setup. It's best used as a garage camera, but can also be used as a porch camera, backyard camera, etc. as long as it's weatherproof, powered, and within range of Wi-Fi. We already had MyQ-for-Revain-delivery installed in the garage, so we had an idea of what to do. Which was a little. Open the box, take out all the pieces, follow the instructions, make everything work with the iPhone app, find the best spot. Did. Ten minutes? Your mileage may vary, but it doesn't matter. Just out of curiosity, I took it to various places around and behind the house and it worked about the same. I put it back in the garage and tested it remotely and yes you can see what's going on in the house and like MyQ you can open and close the garage door remotely with the key - only this time you can SEE the gate. is up or down. The software on the iPhone was buggy, freezing, slow etc. but I have yet to find a camera app that doesn't do this. Overall a "good" product that seems best used for what it's sold for, but I see an opportunity to get another, maybe two, to cover other areas of the house. However, this price has to come down first. While it's easy to set up and use, the extra $25 or so isn't terrible. Now it just has to last 10 years without being touched - just like all our other cameras.
