The short answer

LiftMaster 87504-267 Secure View comes out ahead by a narrow margin (unrated vs 4.2). The gap is mostly about Owners of double or oversized doors who are already having a dealer do the work and want the brightest available lighting plus a camera that can be aimed — read the strengths below before deciding.

Ranked #5 in Best Garage Door Openers

Genie StealthDrive Connect 7155-TKV

Unrated3 sources$314.99as of Aug 2

The Genie StealthDrive Connect 7155-TKV is the opener to buy if you want the garage door to answer to a voice assistant. It pairs a 1-1/4 HPc DC motor and a steel-reinforced belt with Genie's built-in Aladdin Connect Wi-Fi, and unlike the Chamberlain units on this page it supports both Alexa and Google Assistant. The Spruce named it their best-value pick after a tester ran it twice a day for three months, and CNET calls it an excellent kit while noting the one real gap: there is no HomeKit, so Siri is out. It also arrives complete, with two remotes, a keypad, and a wall console in the box, which is unusual at this level.

Strengths

— Works with both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant through built-in Aladdin Connect Wi-Fi, which the Chamberlain openers here do not
— The Spruce's tester had it professionally installed in about an hour and the installer reported the instructions were clear
— Ships complete — two pre-programmed three-button remotes, a wireless keypad, and a multi-function wall console are all in the box

Watch-outs

— No Apple HomeKit support — CNET lists the absence of Siri control as its objection
— The overhead light is not motion-activated; it comes on only when the opener runs
— The Spruce's installer flagged that the drive element is a plastic-feeling material rather than metal and may wear over time

LiftMaster 87504-267 Secure View

4.2

2 sources1 derived

The LiftMaster 87504-267 Secure View is the professionally installed answer to the camera-opener question, and it is the only product on this page with a numeric score from a standalone review — CNET's Molly Price rated it 7.8 out of 10 after a dealer installed two of them on her double-door garage. The camera retracts and rotates a full 360 degrees, the 2,000-lumen LED ring is brighter than anything else here, and The Spruce's tester ran one for three months and singled out the light. The trade-offs are consistent across both reviews: the camera feed lags, recorded video is subscription-gated, and because this is a dealer product rather than a big-box one, it is harder to find and harder to price than the Chamberlain alternatives.

Strengths

— A 360-degree LED ring rated at 2,000 lumens — The Spruce called it one of the brightest lights they have seen on a garage door opener
— CNET found the belt drive delightfully quiet across two units installed on a double-door garage
— The camera retracts, rotates manually through 360 degrees, has two-way audio and black-and-white night vision

Watch-outs

— CNET measured noticeable start-up lag opening the app and intermittent camera feed while the doors were moving
— Recorded clips need a subscription; without one you get the live view only
— Apple HomeKit works only by buying LiftMaster's separate myQ HomeKit bridge accessory

How they stack up

Genie StealthDrive Connect 7155-TKV

This is the only opener here that answers to Alexa and Google Assistant — the Chamberlain B5330 and the LiftMaster 87504-267 Secure View are both locked to myQ. It gives up the built-in camera those two carry, and its light is dimmer and dumber than the LiftMaster's 2,000-lumen ring. Against the Genie ChainDrive 550 (2035-TKV) it costs considerably more but adds the belt drive, the battery backup, and every smart feature.

LiftMaster 87504-267 Secure View

This and the Chamberlain B5330 are the two camera openers here, and they run the same myQ app because both brands belong to the same group — the difference is channel and lighting. The LiftMaster is a dealer install with a 360-degree 2,000-lumen ring; the B5330 is a big-box unit with two bulbs and roughly half the output. Neither will answer to a voice assistant without extra hardware, which is the argument for the Genie StealthDrive Connect 7155-TKV instead.
