Garage door opener motors are dumb, they are receivers and the remotes are the transmitters. For those of you who might not know what a transmitter or receiver do let me put it to you this way; the remote is the one telling the motor what to do. Without the proper code being sent to the opener by the remote it won't open. The majority of openers on the market today use a technology called "rolling code" which means your opener motor is constantly cycling and searching for the code from your remote. Knowing the business the way I do I don't see how the Garage Shadow is going to increase break-ins. But then again if someone is desperate enough they'll find a way to break in anyway.

Hope people get used to locking the door from the garage into the house and remember not to leave valuables in the garage.
