Download the myQ App
The myQ mobile app will guide you through setting up your Video Keypad. With your smart phone, download myQ by either:
- Scanning the second QR code on the packaging insert
- Searching for “myQ” in your phone’s app store
- Visiting myQ.com/app on your phone’s browser
Have your Wi-Fi password available before proceeding.
Get Connected
To connect your Video Keypad, stay near your installed garage door opener. Do
not mount the keypad until a later step.
In the myQ app, select the icon from the home screen and select Device.
When prompted, select Video Solution, followed by Video Keypad, and follow the
in-app instructions.
Once you’ve completed setup within the app, let’s verify your keypad is
connected to your opener and able to operate the garage door:
- Enter the PIN you created on your keypad
- Press the Home Button
- Confirm the door has moved
Install Mounting Bracket
Select a location to mount your Video Keypad at a minimum height of 5 feet
(1.5 m) out of reach of small children. When selecting a mounting location,
consider the visual you want the camera to capture and the convenience of its
placement:
- Are there any other entry points to my home I want to view?
- Is there a direction down the street I would prefer to see?
- Which side of my home is more likely to have activity I’d like to view?
- Is the keypad installed in a location that is convenient to access?
Begin by using the included mounting bracket as a template to mark the position of the bracket’s mounting holes with a pen or pencil. Please note, the location of the holes may differ from your existing keypad (if applicable).
If installing your Video Keypad on stucco, brick, or concrete:
Drill holes in your wall with a 1/4” masonry bit, then insert the included
wall anchors by pushing them into place or lightly tapping with a hammer. If
installing on wood or vinyl siding the wall anchors are not needed, and you
can skip this step.
Install Mounting Bracket
Position the mounting bracket so that the Video Keypad is at your preferred
orientation. If using the 20° mount, the bracket can be flipped to adjust the
angle depending on your surroundings. We recommend positioning the keypad to
be angled toward your driveway.
Using the two Mounting Screws and a Phillips screwdriver, secure the bracket
by driving the screws into the wall (or anchors, if installed) through the
mounting holes until flush with the bracket.
Secure to Mounting Bracket
If using the 20° or 0° mounting bracket, slide the top of the Video Keypad
into the ridges at the top of the bracket, then push the bottom of the keypad
into the bracket.
If using the swivel mount, push the Video Keypad directly into the mount to
snap it into place with the ridges on the sides of the bracket.
When removing the Video Keypad from any of the mounting brackets, firmly grasp the device from the bottom, then pull out and up.
Secure to Mounting Bracket
Once your Video Keypad is attached to the mounting bracket, use a Phillips
screwdriver to tighten the included short security screw into the bottom of
your device to secure it into place.
DO NOT USE any screw other than the included short security screw to secure your Video Keypad. Using the wrong screw could damage the device.
