Niro

Im a rare 5 star rater, but this item was one of the best purchases i have made this year.it was easy to install for my unit, less than 20 minutes from app sign up to final testing. another 5 minutes for cable management .the wires are long enough to allow for good placement, it has a magnetic base and also comes with an additional metal plate mounting. the resolution is very good ( still to test Night vision) the app is simple to use and configure. Make sure you have good WiFi. i have both Iphone 11 and Galaxy, and off the bat on initial start up , the apps seems better to me on the android. 24 hour recording ( sound , and motion detection) more with additional onboard memory card port it has on the side . very easy to view using the app. you can also download and share videos. easy 2 wire install , no need for running additional door sensor. the app has a dashboard which gives you a snapshot of your door's condition, the icon doesn't really change if the garage is closed or open. you can set up motion and sound detection rules and motion zones. although it can see slightly into my third bay and it has the ability to be wired to a second door ( and the app can be configured to add it to the dashboard) i will purchase another one because i want a clean look and don't want to run wires across to the unit and i want full door view.

Review updated. Previously had several issues with garage randomly opening. After removing camera it happened again. Determined issue was the wall mounted control button.Purchased this device in 10/2018. Since then it has been headache after headache. I've contacted Momentum Technical Support at least a dozen times for several issues.1) Camera WILL NOT support recording to a 128GB MicroSD card. According to Technical Support this is something they area aware of and are working towards fixing. Because of this you are FORCED to sign up for cloud recording. Luckily they offer a free package that offers cloud recordings for 24 hours. However, if you need footage beyond that, you are out of luck.2) The motion detection is hit or miss. Several times my garage door opened on it's own (due to a fauly control button) and I never received a motion notifcation. Then once something moved past the open garage door, I'd get a notification.3) We have a WiFi mesh with a STRONG WiFi signal throughtout our home. Even still, the camera contsanly disconnects from WiFi on it's own and will not reconnect. I'm then forrced to reset the device and reprogram. I've done this at least 1/2 dozen times.4) The mobile app is HORRIBLE. Extremely long delays. It will constantly crash. I can't count how many times I've had to force stop or uninstall/reinstall the app. Running Android 9 Pie OS.5) Garage door opened and closed slower when thos device was installed. The moment itvwas removed, it was a night and day difference.Momentum Technical Support had been contacted for all the aformentioned issues. The answer is ALWAYS the same. We will escalate the issue to our Development Team and follow up with you. Well, the Development Team must office out of a black hole, because I have yet to receive a single response from them. I ended up buying a new Ring Indoor camera and the Chamberlain My Q Smart Garage Door opener to replace this unit. Overall the new system works much better.

One of the easiest home automation I’ve ever done. And I’m saying this with over 18 smart things configured at my home.I really have no problem having to go back to reconfigure or reboot it for any reasons. Pleasantly surprised on the smooth install process, especially after reading how many people say this has weak WiFi antenna or signal. Those reviewers must have their own problems at home and blame it on the products.I live in a 3,000 sq. ft. house, with my garage about 50’ straight line distance (across 3 walls, including kitchen and dining room) from my wireless router (a good Netgear Nighthawk X8 AC5300). This garage opener + camera combo still receives “Strong” signal according to the Momentum app.For those who are also very technical and geeky into the specs, I wanted to give you a more specific technical RSSI value that I’m getting. However I haven’t organized my Nighthawk app’s device identification in a while, can’t see which IP or MAC represents this Momentum garage opener / camera without having to get myself to the cold garage. Anyways, just take my words for it the WiFi capability on this thing is rock solid!I also like the factor the most basic free cloud storage is 24 hours of high quality video storage. And you can put up to a 128GB micro SD card (aka TF card) into the camera as local video storage too.

Note: I didn't contact tech support, because I'm very technical. I gave them the benefit of doubt with 5 stars.StrengthsEasy to install. No screws do to magnet on camera. Wiring is simple.Motion and audio detection are fantasticVideo quality is excellentThe recordings are easy to access and phone notifications work well (maybe too well!)Having micro drive storage is pro-consumer. I didn't have to purchase monthly subscription planOddities / Could be betterThe range of my existing remote dropped dramatically after adding the camera. There are times I literally have to pull within a couple of my feet of my garage door in order to open the door. I replaced the remote's battery just in case. Not sure if it's the magnet attached to the bottom of my garage door opener. Unfortunately my wireless provider's coverage is non-existent and my Wi-Fi range doesn't reach my drivewayToo often the live video on the iPhone app doesn't work (spinning icon)It wouldn't work with our newer Genie Silent Max 1000 garage door opener (not surprising, since it wasn't on Momentum's list). Using with an older Genie Pro

Doesn’t work with my garage opener despite listing it as a compatible brand, and the customer support is useless. Given them three goes and they don’t offer any level of support, returning the item for a refund.

Not worked properly

Did not work, poor support, had to return.
