LiftMaster 87504-267

Overview

The LiftMaster 87504-267 is part of the Secure View line, LiftMaster's premium category for belt drive openers with integrated cameras. It combines ultra-quiet belt drive operation with a built-in HD camera, battery backup, myQ Wi-Fi, and Security+ 2.0 rolling-code security. The warranty package reflects its premium position: a lifetime motor warranty, a lifetime belt warranty, 5-year parts coverage, and separate coverage for the LED, camera, battery, and accessories.

The 87504-267 is designed for homeowners who want the quietest possible operation, live video access to the garage, and the confidence of long-term warranty protection. It is one of LiftMaster's most fully featured residential openers and suits attached garages where noise matters, families who want garage visibility, and anyone who values a comprehensive warranty package.

The Secure View label refers to the built-in camera. The camera is integrated at the factory. You do not need to buy a separate accessory. This keeps the install simple and the unit compact.

Drive type, motor, and power

The 87504-267 uses a belt drive system. A reinforced rubber belt connects the motor unit to the trolley, which moves the door along the overhead rail. Rubber belts dampen vibration that a chain drive would transmit through the rail and ceiling, making the 87504-267 one of the quietest opener types available. In an attached garage, the difference between a chain drive and a belt drive opener is plainly audible from inside the house.

The motor is DC-powered, which adds soft-start and soft-stop behavior. The door accelerates gently when a cycle begins and slows smoothly before reaching the full-open or full-close position. This reduces wear on the door's torsion springs, hinges, and cables over time. DC motors also run cooler and use slightly less power than AC motors.

The horsepower rating for this model is not confirmed in currently available sources. The opener is designed for standard single-car and double-car residential doors. Confirm with your installer if the door is unusually heavy.

Battery backup is included. When grid power goes out, the opener switches to battery operation automatically and continues to cycle the door. For Colorado homeowners, this is a practical advantage during summer storms or winter outages.

The lifetime belt warranty is worth noting. Belt drive systems can wear over many years of use. A lifetime warranty on the belt covers replacement at no cost if the belt fails, which adds to the total value of the product over its service life.

Smart features, security, and safety

The built-in camera streams HD video through the myQ app. The camera provides a real-time view of the garage interior from anywhere, at any time, not just when the door is in motion. You can check on deliveries, confirm the door is closed, monitor the space for activity, or check on pets before operating the door remotely.

myQ Wi-Fi is integrated. The app gives you full remote door control, status monitoring, open and close alerts, and scheduling tools. Voice control through Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa is supported. Apple HomeKit compatibility is available with the myQ Home Bridge accessory.

Security+ 2.0 rolling-code technology changes the access code automatically every time a remote or wireless keypad sends a signal. This makes it effectively impossible to copy a signal and use it to open the door.

The 87504-267 meets UL 325 safety requirements. It ships with photo-eye sensors that mount near the floor on each side of the door opening. If anything blocks the beam while the door is closing, the door stops and reverses. Force-sensing reversal is also built in.

The unit includes an integrated LED light rated for 5 years, per the warranty terms. The LED activates automatically when the door operates and turns off after a set interval. HomeLink compatibility allows vehicle-integrated garage controls to operate the opener.

Is this the right opener for you, and how G Brothers helps

The LiftMaster 87504-267 suits homeowners who want LiftMaster's quietest drive type, a built-in camera, and a premium warranty package in one unit. The combination of a lifetime motor and lifetime belt warranty means both the core drive components are covered for the life of the opener, which reduces the long-term cost of ownership.

This opener is a strong fit for:

Attached garages adjacent to bedrooms or living spaces. Belt drive is the quietest residential opener drive type. If the garage is directly below a bedroom, the difference compared to a chain drive is immediately noticeable.

Homeowners who want garage visibility. The built-in HD camera streams live video through myQ. You can check the garage at any time, not just when the door moves.

Long-term homeowners. The lifetime belt and motor warranties mean the core components are covered indefinitely. Combined with 5-year parts coverage, the 87504-267 is a long-term investment rather than a product you expect to replace in a few years.

Families with active garages. Frequent daily use, combined with battery backup and a strong warranty, means the 87504-267 is suited to homes where the garage is a primary entry point and is used many times each day.

The 87504-267 carries a higher price point than standard residential openers. If camera monitoring is not a priority, comparing it to a standard Secure View or non-camera belt drive model may be worthwhile.

The 87504-267 is a good model to consider if you plan to stay in the home for many years. The lifetime motor and lifetime belt warranties mean you are not planning for a belt replacement or motor rebuild in the near future. Combined with 5-year parts coverage, the cost of ownership over a 10-plus-year period is lower than with a shorter-warranty opener that may need component replacements sooner.

Comparing the 87504-267 to the 84504R or 84505R? The main difference is warranty coverage. The 87504-267 carries a lifetime belt and 5-year parts warranty. The 84504R has 1-year parts coverage. Battery backup is included on both the 87504-267 and the 84504R. The 84505R does not have battery backup.

The 87504-267 includes a 5-year parts warranty, which is longer than the 1-year parts coverage on many other LiftMaster residential models. That extra coverage period reduces the out-of-pocket cost of component replacements in the opener's early years. If a photo-eye sensor, trolley, or other part fails within 5 years of installation, it is covered under warranty. G Brothers assists Denver-area customers with LiftMaster warranty claims and service.
