Did you know that you can have a garage door operator that has a motion detector light in it? Homeowners who choose an operator with this feature have the convenience of the light turning on when motion is detected, instead of having to manually turn on a light in the garage. It also turns off after a period of time with no motion activity, which is a convenient feature.
In addition to the convenience the motion detection light provides, it can also function as a deterrent if someone is attempting to break in to your home through your garage. In particular, if you have windows in your garage or in a section of your garage door, the motion of a possible intruder near your garage door can be enough for the motion light to come on. That in itself can be enough to startle someone and cause them to believe someone is home and nearby.
Overhead Door Company sells and installs the Destiny 1200 operator, which has a motion detection light. Here are some other features of the Destiny 1200 operator:

- Auto seek dual frequency range (opener listens for both the 315 or 390 MHz frequency emitted by the remote or wireless keypad, allowing reliable operation even in areas with frequency interference)
- DoorDetect monitoring and diagnostic system (delivers the optimal amount of power to efficiently and smoothly open even the heaviest doors. Stops the door when abnormal operation is detected for additional safety)
