Why does chamberlain charge a fee when the other devices are free?

No fee to use with Amazon Key but Count me among those who was about to purchase the camera and then found out about the $30 VIDEO “subscription fee”.

Will my existing door openers (car, wall, and outside keypad) still work?

If they don’t, it could be, as was the case with our Genie Chain Glide, too many previous devices have been paired with it. We contacted Genie and they helped us restore the Opener to its factory settings. We should have done this previously since the previous owners could probably still open our garage door. We did have to reprogram the cars and other remotes but now it all works great.

How is it powered

The camera includes a 10′ Micro-USB cable and a power outlet. It has to added to your myQ account
