We’ve shared some great gift ideas with you for your favorite guy this month in our Father’s Day Gift Guide.

For the practical dad, or any guy that has a garage, we are thrilled to share with you some great smart accessories from myQ. We will start with the myQ Smart Garage Video Keypad. This brand new product is so simple to install and replaces outdated garage keypads to become high tech surveillance on your property. Essentially, the old numeric mounted keypad you would have on your garage has been majorly upgraded to become like a video doorbell that have become so popular over the years. You can program the keypad to be motion activated, so you can see anything (or anyone) moving around your garage any time of day, on your cell phone. You can even control opening the garage door from wherever you are, even if you are not at home. I can’t tell you how convenient that is! Wondering when the kids are getting home or who is coming inside while you are away? Now, you know! Over the past 10 years, millions of homes have added a video doorbell to their front door, letting homeowners see and interact with visitors. However, in most homes, family members don’t enter through the front door, they enter through the garage door. The Smart Garage Video Keypad provides peace of mind for your real “front door” with continuous monitoring and secure access control. It’s a must-have smart home product that’s especially helpful for busy families. Kids often fail to text me when they get home. Reliable myQ notifications take the place of forgetful texts and eliminates any worries around the kids getting home safely.

If home security is a concern, this is an especially great device because it can record video and alert you real time what is going at at your property, whether you are at home or away. Unfortunately, all around the United States, crime is on the rise. I thought moving to a less populated state would make it so I didn’t really see as much of that. What I actually found was that I saw it a lot more. Every week I am hearing about neighbors who had items stolen from their garage, their cars broken into and garage door openers stolen from their cars, as well as mailbox theft. All of that is a huge invasion and not something you want to have happen to you. Camera doorbells have helped to catch some of the crimes in the act, but it leaves a whole area out of the camera view. Having the myQ Smart Garage Video Keypad is an easy solution to that on a few levels. If someone tries to access your garage, you will see them and be notified on your phone. You can record video and use it to catch them and file police reports. That’s a huge deterrent and help in case something bad does happen.

There are other myQ accessories that I think go hand-in-hand with the Smart Garage Video Keypad. The myQ Smart Garage Camera connects using your home Wi-Fi. You can actually see and hear what is going on inside your garage from literally anywhere in the world using your myQ app. Let’s say you have another door to your garage and that gets opened, you’ll be able to be alerted and know what’s going on inside. A great tool to have! You can also let people into your garage when you are not at home. Say your neighbor needs to borrow a tool. You can open the garage and direct them where to find it through voice and video. It’s almost as if you are right there! It even works with Amazon Key In-Garage Package and Grocery Delivery for secure and convenient parcel delivery!

You might be surprised that a good amount of home garage door openers are already equipped with myQ capabilities that can simply be controlled by the myQ app, but if you don’t already have one, there is still a simple way to turn your garage into a Smart Garage. You can purchase a Smart Garage Control at an extremely affordable price. It can work with openers that are newer than 1993 and are equipped with photoelectric sensors that do not shut off.

Before I got to try these accessories out for myself, I had no idea what I was missing out on. Now that I know, I would never want to go back to what I had before. These devices are genius and essential for your home. I highly recommend the myQ Smart accessories for everyone!
