In this article

A garage door opener with a camera lets you see inside your garage from your phone. You can check if the door is open, watch a live view and close the door from anywhere. Lennar includes a ""LiftMaster Garage Door Opener w/ Built-In Camera"" in every home at Coral Landings in Homestead. LiftMaster's camera openers work through its myQ app.

This guide explains how these openers work, what to ask Lennar and how the garages at the homes at Coral Landings compare in size.

What Lennar Lists

Lennar's feature list for all five Coral Landings plans includes ""LiftMaster Garage Door Opener w/ Built-In Camera."" It sits in the ""Connectivity"" group with:

  • A Ring Video Doorbell

  • A Schlage Encode Smart WiFi Deadbolt

  • A Wi-Fi enabled thermostat

  • A centralized media panel

Lennar does not name the exact LiftMaster model on the plan pages. Ask the sales team for the model number. The answer tells you which features and warranty you get.

How a Garage Door Opener With Camera Works

LiftMaster calls its camera openers the Secure View line. Its product page says: ""The Secure View smart opener series features a built-in camera and 2-way audio communication.""

LiftMaster also says: ""The myQ app lets you see what is happening via livestream and talk with the people in your garage directly from your smartphone, no matter where you are.""

In plain words:

  • A camera on the opener. It is built into the opener itself, not mounted as a separate device.

  • Live view. Open the app to see the garage right now.

  • Two-way talk. Speak to someone in the garage through your phone.

  • Remote open and close. LiftMaster says the opener and myQ ""can open and close your garage door – anytime, from anywhere.""

  • Built-in lights. LiftMaster says Secure View openers ""feature integrated LED lighting.""

You can read the details on the LiftMaster Secure View page.

Live View vs Saved Video

This part trips up a lot of new owners. Watching live is one thing. Saving video is another.

LiftMaster says you can ""Record, tag and store video for up-to 30 days with a myQ Video Storage plan."" A storage plan is a paid service. LiftMaster mentions a free trial. Check the current plan prices in the myQ app before you sign up.

If you only want to check the door now and then, live view may be all you need.

Package Deliveries

LiftMaster's page says ""Prime members receive FREE Amazon Key In-Garage Deliveries."" The idea is simple. A driver can leave a package inside the garage instead of on the porch. You can watch it happen on the camera. Read Amazon's terms before you turn this on.

How the Garage Fits the Rest of the Smart Package

The camera opener works well with the smart front door lock. You can check both doors from your phone before bed. Our guide to the Schlage Encode lock at Coral Landings explains the deadbolt and its codes.

How Big Are the Coral Landings Garages?

Four plans have a 1-car garage. Only the Vanguard has a 2-car garage. Here are the garage sizes from Lennar's floor-plan drawings:

Drawings can change. Measure a model or a finished home if you have a large truck or a workbench in mind.

A Camera Matters More in a Busy Garage

If your family uses the garage as its everyday door, it goes up and down a lot. In a 1-car garage, bikes, coolers and the car also share one space. A camera helps you answer one simple question from anywhere: did someone leave it open?

Move-In Day Setup Checklist

  1. Get the model number from the Lennar team.

  2. Download the myQ app and make your own account.

  3. Ask how the opener was set up. Ask if any builder accounts are linked. Ask the team to remove them.

  4. Connect to your home Wi-Fi.

  5. Set your alerts. Pick open and close alerts that you actually want.

  6. Decide on video storage. Try the trial before paying.

  7. Test the safety sensors with the Lennar team at your walk-through.

Simple Privacy Tips for a Garage Camera

A camera in the garage is handy. It also sees your daily life. A few habits help:

  • Use a strong password for your myQ account.

  • Share access with care. Only add people you trust.

  • Check who can see the feed. Review the app's user list now and then.

  • Turn off alerts you do not need. Too many alerts and you will start to ignore them.

  • Check the camera after a power outage. Make sure it reconnects to Wi-Fi.

Lights in the Garage

LiftMaster says ""Never change a lightbulb again!"" for its Secure View openers, because they ""feature integrated LED lighting."" Ask which model is installed so you know which light features your opener has.

Who Uses the Camera Most

Different households use a garage camera in different ways:

  • Parents check that the door closed after kids leave for school.

  • Travelers look in while they are away.

  • Online shoppers watch for in-garage package drop-offs.

  • Anyone with a busy morning gets peace of mind with one tap.

Questions to Ask Lennar

  • Which LiftMaster model is installed?

  • Does it have battery backup?

  • What does the opener warranty cover, and for how long?

  • Who do I call if the camera stops working in year one?

Lennar's own warranty is a 1-2-10 limited warranty. LiftMaster lists its own warranty terms by product.
