The 87504-267 is the Secure View belt-drive model with a built-in camera, 2,000-lumen 360° LED light ring and battery backup. LiftMaster lists a yellow Learn button, Security+ 2.0, DC drive and myQ Diagnostics for this model.
Confirm this is the opener you have
Use several source-backed clues together. The motor-unit label remains the strongest identity clue.
Use the full motor-unit label for model identity; do not identify from opener case shape alone.
Use this as a cross-check, not as a substitute for the model label.
This changes power-outage diagnosis and helps separate nearby models.
Camera evidence helps separate visually similar smart-opener variants.
Keep network/connectivity diagnosis separate from physical door movement.
Use the active receiver or Learn-button generation before ordering a remote.
Model specifications that matter for troubleshooting
No exact-model remote row is published locally yet
That does not mean the model is unsupported. Use the active receiver / Learn-button evidence and the manufacturer’s current compatibility row rather than inferring a remote from case shape, frequency or a nearby model.
Wall-control compatibility for this model
Wired controls follow the opener logic/control interface. Wireless wall consoles follow the active radio receiver.
Smart Control Panel
Wired logic path. LiftMaster lists the 880LMW with the 87504-267. Use this exact-model row for the wired control path; an added radio receiver does not change this wired-control relationship.
myQ Control Panel
Keep the opener manufacture-year boundary with red/orange units and do not use broad MAX-remote compatibility as proof of a wired-panel match. Exact-model documentation still outranks this generation rule; LiftMaster model 8500 is separately documented with an 888LM/889LM control panel.
Verify: LiftMaster says 889LM is compatible with Security+ openers with a purple Learn button or a red/orange Learn button manufactured after 1998. It is explicitly NOT compatible with Security+ 2.0 / yellow-Learn-button openers.
Genie Universal Wireless Wall Console
This result does not mean the Genie console can replace a LiftMaster wired control panel; it operates through the radio receiver.
Verify: Genie's chart lists LiftMaster yellow Security+ 2.0, purple Security+, red/orange Security+, green Billion Code and selected DIP-switch branches. Verify the active radio path.
Do not confuse it with the 84505R
Both models are current-style LiftMaster Secure View belt-drive openers with a built-in camera and myQ support, but the power-backup and lighting packages are not the same. The 87504-267 includes battery backup and LiftMaster specifies a 2,000-lumen 360° lighting system.
That distinction matters during troubleshooting. A power-outage complaint on an 87504-267 can legitimately include the backup battery as a diagnostic branch; the same branch does not belong on an 84505R model page because LiftMaster lists no battery backup for the 84505R.
Use the yellow Learn button as the radio-generation clue
LiftMaster identifies this opener with a yellow Learn button and Security+ 2.0. That is useful when checking a replacement remote or keypad, but the Learn button color should not be used as permission to assume every yellow-button accessory fits every installation. Use LiftMaster's current compatibility table for the exact accessory model.
The factory-listed control set is a useful cross-check when identifying an existing installation: 893MAX visor remote, 880LMW Smart Control Panel and 877LM wireless keyless entry are listed with the opener.
myQ error codes belong to the opener platform, not the camera
The 87504-267 supports myQ Diagnostics, which can surface health information and diagnostic codes in the app. If myQ reports a code such as a sensor or travel fault, troubleshoot the physical opener system represented by that code first instead of treating the camera or video connection as the cause.
Camera streaming, Wi-Fi setup and door-movement diagnostics are separate layers. A working camera does not prove the safety-sensor circuit is healthy, and a door-movement fault does not automatically mean the Wi-Fi radio is failing.
Common troubleshooting paths for this model
Route from the observed symptom or code. Do not use model identity by itself as proof of the failed part.
myQ shows a 4-1 / DOWN-travel RPM-current diagnostic
Start with door movement and binding rather than increasing force. If the door is heavy or unbalanced by hand, stop opener troubleshooting.
Open the exact troubleshooting path →Door will not close and sensor LEDs are not normal
The 87504-267 uses the Chamberlain Group safety-reversing sensor system. Read the amber/green sensor state, then follow the matching sensor guide.
Open the exact troubleshooting path →Door reaches the floor and reverses
Treat this as a travel-setting branch only after confirming the door itself moves freely and the sensor state is normal.
Open the exact troubleshooting path →Power is out / opener is beeping
This model has battery backup. Use the beep interval and battery LED together before assuming the drive system has failed.

Capture these facts before you order or escalate
A clean handoff preserves the evidence that separates opener identity, receiver compatibility and the actual failure symptom.
Motor-unit label
Photograph the full label showing 87504-267 and any SKU suffix. Use that label for manuals and model-specific parts.
Active receiver / Learn control
Record the Learn-button color or external receiver model separately. A replaced receiver can change remote compatibility without changing the opener model.
Exact symptom or signal
Write down the code, blink count, sensor LED pair, direction of travel and where the door stops or reverses before changing settings.
Door-system boundary
If the door is crooked, off-track, unusually heavy, or has damaged spring/cable hardware, stop opener troubleshooting and hand off the mechanical door problem.
Model-specific guardrails
- The model is a DC belt-drive opener; avoid importing chain-drive service assumptions from a different LiftMaster family.
- LiftMaster lists the 485LM battery with this opener. Replacement-part decisions should still be checked against the current parts diagram before purchase.
- A yellow Learn button identifies the radio generation, but use LiftMaster's live compatibility data for exact replacement accessories.
- Springs, cables, an off-track door or a door that is unusually heavy by hand are mechanical door-system issues and are outside low-risk opener troubleshooting.
Never use opener force or a safety-system bypass to compensate for a heavy, damaged, off-track or unbalanced garage door.
LiftMaster 87504-267 common questions
Does the LiftMaster 87504-267 have battery backup?
Yes. LiftMaster lists battery backup as a standard feature and includes the 485LM garage door opener battery in the model package.
What color Learn button does the 87504-267 use?
LiftMaster lists a yellow Learn button and Security+ 2.0 code type for the 87504-267.
Does the 87504-267 have a built-in camera?
Yes. LiftMaster describes it as a Secure View model with a built-in camera and 2-way audio through myQ.
Is the 87504-267 the same as the 84505R?
No. They share several smart/camera features, but the 87504-267 includes battery backup and a 2,000-lumen 360° lighting system, while LiftMaster lists no battery backup for the 84505R.
