LiftMaster 87504: The Smart Garage Opener You Didn't Know You Needed

Ever thought your garage door opener could be smarter? Meet the LiftMaster 87504-267—a game-changer in home automation that combines security, convenience, and cutting-edge technology.

I’ve been using the LiftMaster 87504 in my own home for a few years now, and honestly, I can't imagine going back to anything else. It's not just another garage door opener — it actually makes day-to-day life easier. Being able to see who’s coming and going in real time, right from my phone, has been a game-changer. With kids constantly going in and out, and Amazon deliveries showing up at all hours, that built-in camera gives me serious peace of mind.

Another thing I really appreciate — and my wife definitely does — is the battery backup. Let’s face it, if the power goes out, most people don’t know how (or want) to manually open the garage door. With this opener, it just works. No stress. Everyone can still come and go as usual.

The wall control panel is also pretty slick. It’s got a clean digital display showing the time and the temperature inside the garage, and you can customize a bunch of settings right there. For example, we’ve got ours set so that if the garage door is still open at 9 p.m., it’ll automatically close — super helpful when someone forgets to hit the button.

And then there’s the motion sensor lighting. If you're walking the dog and come back through the garage, the light turns on as soon as you step inside — even if the door was already open. Little things like that make a big difference.

It also comes with a keypad and two remotes right out of the box. Sure, you can add those to most openers, but it's nice not having to worry about ordering extras — it’s all included.

Plus, it has one of the best warranties in the industry. If you want the specifics, LiftMaster breaks it down on their official product page, but let’s just say they stand behind this model more than most.

Why This Opener Stands Out

• Built-In HD Camera with Two-Way Audio: Keep an eye on your garage in real-time and communicate directly through the myQ® app. Whether it's checking if the kids got home safely or ensuring your packages are secure, you're always connected.
• Ultra-Quiet Belt Drive System: Say goodbye to noisy garage doors. The DC motor and belt drive ensure smooth and silent operation, perfect for homes with living spaces above or adjacent to the garage.
• Corner-to-Corner LED Lighting: Illuminate your entire garage with 2,000 lumens of long-lasting LED light. No more fumbling in the dark or dealing with dim bulbs.
• Battery Backup: Power outage? No problem. The built-in battery backup ensures your garage door operates seamlessly, keeping you in control at all times.
• myQ® App Integration: Monitor and control your garage door from anywhere. Receive real-time alerts, schedule door operations, and even integrate with Amazon Key for secure in-garage deliveries.

Tips for Maximizing Your 87504

• Regularly Check the Camera Feed: Use the myQ® app to monitor your garage, especially when expecting deliveries or if you're away from home.
• Utilize the Timer-to-Close Feature: Set your garage door to automatically close after a specified time, enhancing security and peace of mind.

• Integrate with Smart Home Systems: Connect the opener with platforms like Ring.

• Schedule Maintenance Alerts: The myQ® app can notify you when it's time for maintenance, ensuring your opener remains in top condition.
