🚗 I never thought I'd get so excited about a garage door opener, but the tech inside of the LiftMaster Elite Series 85503 is SO convenient! Find out more: myte.ch/lmyt 🚨 *QOTD: What are your favorite features in the Liftmaster Elite Series 85503? What other smart home products should I check out and add to my home? Let me know!* This showcase is sponsored by LiftMaster, but this product is seriously super dope. Moving is going to be a pain when I have to uninstall this and take it with me 😂
I just added the Yale|LiftMaster Smart Lock for my entry door into the home from the garage. This locks automatically when I have my Amazon deliveries made to the garage! Great additional product to the home.
It’s a nice opener. LiftMaster also has add on cameras to the older MyQ’s. I wish the model you have, had a panning camera, as that is what it appeared at first to be. Push a button and the camera would look at the back of the garage, push a button and it’s facing the driveway again. In the FUTURE quite possibly.
Thank you! I know! It's super cool seeing the way different companies are making their products work in a smart home. This one makes so much sense to me and I've enjoyed it a lot.
Funny timing. We just used our Nest Hello doorbell to instruct a furniture delivery guy to drop off our delivery in the garage, which I opened remotely through the Chamberlain MyQ app. (He showed up 30 minutes early.). Very convenient indeed!
Haha! That's so cool! In many ways it seems kind of "okay, neat, I guess..." but then you start actually using it and you're like "okay, this is kind of amazing. I don't ever want to go back." SUPER convenient!
I would not be comfortable with cameras all over my home knowing how easily they can be hacked etc but the garage door is really cool glad you are doing well Brandon
I have the newer model of this. I have spent 2 or 3 days on support with LiftMaster and still have not been able to get it to work with Alexa. I can open the app and control the door. But I can't give voice controls to Alexa or Google automation. I was also told by the company that sold it that I would be able to set up guest passwords via the app so that contractors etc would be able to access the garage. And that I would be able to set those passwords up to expire after one use or certain number of days. There doesn't appear to be any functionality like that
I have a smart garage device attached to my garage door opener which works decently well (I'm in a condo so wifi baaaarely reaches) but the app is terrible and, of course, no built in camera. We're planning on buying a house in the next six months and I'll definitely be getting one of these! Thanks, Brandon!
Nice!! It’s a great time to buy. Interest rates are nuts. Let me know if you need a lender. I have a guy that is great and has insanely low rates compared to others that I shopped around with. I used him for my refinance last month! I love talking real estate so feel free to hit me up!
Thank you! Yes, it is hands down the option that I would suggest to people if they were looking for a smart home garage door opener. I wouldn't even second guess it! I really like it.
I got the same garage door opener, the camera is not working after change the WiFi, I followed the instructions, but it isn’t helpful. Please advice how to make it works again.
Your house looks awesome! I’m excited for this series since I’ve only watched here and there since I moved from Android to iOS. But I continue to work on my smart home so I’m interested to see what you do/cover.
Gah... Brandon, we need your voice regarding the pixel 4a/4a 5g/5 launch! I saw the headlines and went straight to your channel, since you always have the best info and perspective on the honest pros/cons of each pixel... Hope to see something soon! (And congrats on the new home!!)
Good video. I just purchased a chamberlain b970 and will install when the new door comes in. Is there a work around when the battery backup goes bad to stop the annoying constant beeping. I can see it happening at 3am and keeping me up all night. Thanks from west Tennessee
Looks like the camera will only see half of the garage toward the door?? I have a security camera mounted all the way to the rear of the garage which gives me a view of the whole garage...
Fantastic video! This is one of my favorite garage door opener motors to install. I only wish that it came with built in LED. Chamberlain (parent company of LiftMaster) recently introduced the B6765 for the retail side. But that rail assembly is no where near the quality of the LiftMaster rail. I hope to have my review video out in this motor soon. Love your channel! Amazing content!
Liftmaster dealers seem to always comment on the heavier duty rail. Also that it’s one piece. In real life I don’t hear a lot about the other rails bouncing all over or breaking. It’s like asking people to pay 3 times the price for heavier duty paper clips in my opinion. My less heavy duty rail doesn’t bounce, is quiet, and hasn’t broken nor has the rails of all the people that post reviews on it. Just like how they say the metal housing is better that the chamberlain plastic one . How often are you guys touching your garage door opener or subjecting it to heavy blows?
@@livnaway I completely understand where you're coming from. Chamberlain has continued to make a really good raill assembly for the retail Garage Door Opener motors. And I also acknowledge that the LiftMaster one piece rail assembly is not perfect. But these two companies are not the only ones that make garage door opener motors. There qre number of manufacturers that offer a pieced rail assembly to their motor lineup. And the whole of them are not very good. I believe Chamberlain has made strides because they've been one of the longest manufacturer's in the game. Nevertheless when it comes to offering a homeowner a superior product with a lot of value behind it, many go with the LiftMaster Pro Line motor. Now I know there's some guys that like the price gouge... thus if your local dealer charges three times more than a standard motor system, I would definitely shop around for a better deal.
@@sosgds your videos seem more objective and you seem more knowledgeable. This is a sponsored review and comes off more like an ad. When the “reviewer” says you can get one installed for $450, that is either ignorant or lowball enticement. Neither one are good. You can get the chamberlain version for 300 and install yourself. Liftmaster is a dealer model and most will not sell you without an install. Lowest price I found for the camera version was $750 installed. Curious as to what you charge for an installed Liftmaster camera version. I appreciate how SOS acknowledges that the retail version rail is still very good. I didn’t have the luxury of having Liftmaster sending me a free opener so the cost differential probably matters to me more than the sponsored reviewer.
You can set up the myQ app on its own, yeah! Are you asking about how that works with an external camera or something else? I’m not entirely sure what you’re asking. Sorry! I know the built in camera is what shows up in the myQ app but I don’t think there’s a way to put another camera into the app unless it is myQ compatible. I hope that answers your question but feel free to follow up!
@@ThisIsTechToday yea I just meant if I had a nest cam and wanted to use that instead. Or if you could use a nest cam and the built in cam simultaneously
Hahaha! I was there not too long ago, man...it is a manual rotation. That’s the oooonly thing I wish it had, but I imagine that would have been a bit expensive to add in and bump up the price. Maybe in v2!
Haha! I was shocked myself. I originally stuck with chain because I thought it was more durable but that isn't true. The belt drive is designed better and is less prone to breaking because of that. The reduction in sound was shocking to me. The change between the two on my own garage door opener was dramatic and would be on yours as well!
Is there a way to turn off the warning beeps? Seems like replacing a chain drive for a more silent belt but having an annoying beeping isn't much of a trade. My dogs go nuts with the delivery trucks backup beeping. 🙄
Beeping ONLY happens when it’s the Amazon delivery driver. It doesn’t beep when you use it yourself. I have to check half the time to make sure it’s closed it’s so quiet 😅
You have to manually move it. That's definitely an area that could be improved and I've shared that with them. It's also not exactly cheap to do that, so it is a bit of a balance between capabilities and cost.
@@ThisIsTechToday Thank you! An option for either or would be great. Even if the camera only rotated 360 degrees. The up down could be left stationary.
At 1:13 as a garage door opener installer first thing I see is a cracked piece of wood where the front of the garage door opener is installed. That, my friends, is not good and should be fixed.
@@ThisIsTechToday retail version has this as well. How do you feel about the numerous stories about Amazon drivers leaving their garage doors open exposing them to security risks. If you google it, it seems rather prevalent. I installed a new chamberlain and the whole thing cost me 300. They have made the install easy. Same motor as lift master and lifetime warranty on motor and belt.

They have a version without a camera 🙂

Congrats with your new place

Can the video stream be viewed outside of the MyQ App via an RTSP stream?
I do believe it's only in the MyQ app.
This is nice. I wish they would partner with Google nest and have a model you can setup on the home app.
Let them know! I'll pass some feedback on, too
Does this garage door opener have geo-fencing?
Not that I'm aware of natively. You can do some workarounds with Homekit or Smart things based on a short Google search and reddit crawl.
If you already have a camera for the garage can you still connect to the my Q app? Can you use both cameras say if you always wanted 360 view?
You can set up the myQ app on its own, yeah! Are you asking about how that works with an external camera or something else? I’m not entirely sure what you’re asking. Sorry!

@@ThisIsTechToday yea I just meant if I had a nest cam and wanted to use that instead. Or if you could use a nest cam and the built in cam simultaneously
You can use both but in different apps!
Would love to see a smart home tour once you're all set uo
Sweet. Any particular things that really matter to you?
Is it 2.4ghz? I already have several camera's on 2.4ghz. How many camera's can I have? I have 8 camera's on my Vivint (POE)
Very very cool. Now I just need s garage. 🤣
Can you rotate the camera remotely or only by hand?
Hahaha! I was there not too long ago, man...it is a manual rotation. That’s the oooonly thing I wish it had, but I imagine that would have been a bit expensive to add in and bump up the price. Maybe in v2!
Wow that thing is quiet. That noise in my garage is the chain? I thought it was the door. Sounds like a freight train coming through the house.
Haha! I was shocked myself. I originally stuck with chain because I thought it was more durable but that isn't true. The belt drive is designed better and is less prone to breaking because of that. The reduction in sound was shocking to me. The change between the two on my own garage door opener was dramatic and would be on yours as well!
It’s not “Siri’s HomeKit.” It’s Apple HomeKit.
Thanks! Glad you knew what I meant anyways.
That is the HP?
Is there a way to turn off the warning beeps? Seems like replacing a chain drive for a more silent belt but having an annoying beeping isn't much of a trade. My dogs go nuts with the delivery trucks backup beeping. 🙄
Beeping ONLY happens when it’s the Amazon delivery driver. It doesn’t beep when you use it yourself. I have to check half the time to make sure it’s closed it’s so quiet 😅
@@ThisIsTechToday thanks
Does the camera only move manually? Can you 360 degree scan the garage remotely?
You have to manually move it. That's definitely an area that could be improved and I've shared that with them. It's also not exactly cheap to do that, so it is a bit of a balance between capabilities and cost.
@@ThisIsTechToday Thank you! An option for either or would be great. Even if the camera only rotated 360 degrees. The up down could be left stationary.
At 1:13 as a garage door opener installer first thing I see is a cracked piece of wood where the front of the garage door opener is installed. That, my friends, is not good and should be fixed.
👍🏼
What’s the cost of the opener, can’t find it on their website.....which makes me worry a bit 😝
I think it’s around $500?
Another way to have hackers to get inside your house.
Easier to just kick in a door or break a window. Hacking to unlock residential locks and doors in almost non-existent.
I highly doubt you can get this with installation for 450 dollars
It's honestly totally worth it though. I get Amazon packages at least once or twice a week and it's so nice to have it delivered in my garage.
@@ThisIsTechToday retail version has this as well. How do you feel about the numerous stories about Amazon drivers leaving their garage doors open exposing them to security risks.

Try $750
