myQ Video Keypad | Battery Saver Feature

Battery Saver extends the battery life of your myQ Video Keypad by reducing motion-based recording and detection. When enabled, the keypad continues to record access events (PIN entry or call button presses), but motion sensing and smart detections are limited.

How to Enable Battery Saver

Requirements:

• A myQ Video Keypad connected to the myQ app. See How to Set Up a myQ Video Keypad in the myQ App. 
• An active myQ video subscription
• Firmware version 2.4 or later installed on the Video Keypad

Steps:

1. Open the myQ app.
2. From the Video Keypad Live View screen, tap the Gear icon in the bottom-right corner.
3. Tap Battery.
   • The battery icon may appear red, yellow, or green, depending on current battery level.
4. Toggle Battery Saver to On.
5. Review the message explaining which features will be disabled, then confirm.

When Battery Saver is enabled, the battery icon will change to yellow.

💡Important:
Enabling Battery Saver turns off motion sensing for the Video Keypad. The device will still record:

• PIN entry events
• Call button presses

Smart Protection for Pets, Vehicles, and Packages will be disabled, and Smart Secure will be paused until Battery Saver is turned off.

How to Disable Battery Saver

2. From the Video Keypad Live View screen, tap the Gear icon.
3. Tap Battery.
4. Toggle Battery Saver to Off.

The battery icon will return to red, yellow, or green, depending on the current battery level.
