Chamberlain Group Launches myQ Secure View 3-in-1 Smart Lock

Chamberlain Group launches myQ Secure View 3-in-1 Smart Lock. Intelligent Device Combines Smart Lock, Doorbell, and Camera - Marking Company's Evolution from the Garage to the Front Door Chamberlain Group (CG), a Blackstone portfolio company and global leader in intelligent access and monitoring solutions, today unveiled the myQ Secure View 3-in-1 Smart Lock, marking the company's boldest expansion from garage door innovation to intelligent access for the entire home. This breakthrough device represents CG's strategic evolution from single-category leadership to a complete smart home security ecosystem, bringing decades of access control expertise from the garage to the front door. By integrating a camera into this innovative smart lock, the product enables the fastest unlock (just two seconds) in the market. The integrated camera also gives homeowners crystal-clear visibility to every arrival at their front door. The myQ Secure View 3-in-1 Smart Lock is the most advanced video lock ever - setting a new standard for front-door access and security. It combines a premium smart lock, 2K HDR video doorbell, and biometric access system in one intelligent device. The device also provides five ways to enter your home - face access and fingerprint recognition*, PIN, mobile app, or key. "Our customers have trusted myQ to secure their garages for years, and now we're bringing that same reliability and intelligence to the front door with one simple, powerful device that provides everything you need to keep your home's entry points secure," said Jeff Meredith, Chamberlain Group CEO. "This isn't just about physical security; it's about intelligent access that feels effortless and adapts to the way people actually live." What sets the myQ Secure View 3-in-1 Smart Lock apart isn't just the hardware, but the intelligence behind it. Through AI-powered smart detection, the myQ AI software identifies people, vehicles, animals, packages, and motion with intelligent alerts that reduce false notifications. The proprietary Smart Secure feature can automatically trigger security actions like locking or unlocking doors when a person is detected. The device unlocks the door when a family member or other approved guest approaches but locks the door (if unlocked) when someone not approved approaches. * Five entry methods: Face Access, fingerprint recognition, PIN entry, mobile app control, and traditional key access. * Industry-leading two-second unlock speed with the dependability and ease myQ customers trust. * 2K HDR video doorbell with color night vision providing crystal-clear visibility of every arrival at your front door. * AI-powered smart detection identifies people, vehicles, animals, packages and motion with intelligent alerts, and can automatically coordinate security actions like locking or unlocking doors or when a person is detected. * Seamless myQ integration connecting front door access with garage door control and other myQ devices including the best-selling Smart Garage Video Keypad. * Engineered to perform in extreme conditions from -4°F to 140°F with a rechargeable lithium battery lasting up to 6 months per charge. Zero downtime with a fully charged spare battery (sold separately) always ready to go. * Pair it with the myQ Chime for clear, in-home alerts - even when your phones on silent. Easy Bluetooth setup and multiple tones make it perfect for homes without wired chimes or anyone who wants extra awareness. The myQ Secure View 3-in-1 Smart Lock anchors CG's's broader ecosystem vision, where AI provides the intelligence homeowners desire, and devices act in harmony across all home access points - giving users total control through one app. This expansion connects the front door experience with the garage access control that has made the myQ platform trusted by more than 14 million people. The device can be paired with existing myQ accessories like the myQ Chime, myQ Smart Garage Video Keypad, Outdoor Battery Camera, and garage door openers to provide a unified home access and monitoring solution. The myQsoftware experiences offer simple, seamless app control, and integrations across garage, front door, and perimeter monitoring that are only a tap away. Understanding that no two homes or homeowners are the same, CG designed the myQ Secure View 3-in-1 Smart Lock with flexibility and reliability. Whether homeowners prefer Face Access when their hands are full, fingerprint access for family members, temporary PIN codes for service providers, or remote app control for guests, the system adapts to real-world scenarios with the everyday ease myQ customers already trust. Easy installation requires only common household tools, and the battery is designed for quick removal and charging. The myQ Secure View 3-in-1 Smart Lock is available now on myQ.com and through select retailers. To learn more, visit myq.com.
