Our partner Minut is working on expanding their integrations, and they’d love to hear how you’re using video doorbells and exterior cameras in your hosting setup.
They’re especially curious what Hospitable Hosts think, so share in the comments:
Minut is listening, and
Absolutely we do! We use doorbell cams AND garage door video keypads in any property that has an accessible garage. Historically we’ve used Wyze cams and Ring, but recently we’ve moved to MyQ for Garage Doors and would be open to moving to MyQ doorbell cams if an integration happened there.
For sure! MyQ is the single best interface I’ve found for generating unique PIN codes to operate the garage door (and match them to the front door codes) and bringing all of our tech under fewer roofs (or apps) lightens our load substantially, which is why MyQ is what we’re anchored to for now and they are mroe than adequate so far in the camera department IMO
That makes perfect sense! Thanks for explaining
We find cameras to be critical to the overall remote management part of our business.
We haven’t come upon a standard for cameras, but find it can be helpful to have REDUDANT systems in place should one go down.
In place: Arlo, Ring, Blink, ReoLink (removed most Nest cameras as Google stopped playing nicely with other IoT).
Cameras work well for:
Cameras could be improved by:
We do NOT give guests camera access, but have had requests to share footage from bear encounters.
This is such a great list, thank you

Happy to elaborate:
These requests are to help TRIAGE notifications that need attention vs. the NOISE of constant motion detection. Important notifications need to be identified and non-important suppressed.
Does that help?
