ButterflyMX Video Intercom Panel

ButterflyMX: Smartphone-First Video Intercom for Modern Buildings

ButterflyMX has redefined building entry for apartments and condos by putting the smartphone at the center of the experience. Rather than relying on physical keys, fobs, or legacy buzzer systems, the ButterflyMX panel enables residents to manage building access entirely from their phone. We install ButterflyMX panels in Chicago residential buildings where property managers want a modern entry experience that simplifies operations and improves resident satisfaction.

Smartphone-Based Access

When a visitor arrives and uses the touchscreen directory to call a resident, the call goes directly to the resident’s smartphone through the ButterflyMX app. The resident sees a live video feed of the visitor and can grant or deny access with a single tap, whether they are inside their unit, at work, or traveling. There is no hardware to install inside individual units and no answering station to maintain, which dramatically reduces installation complexity in existing buildings.

Virtual Keys for Guests and Deliveries

Virtual keys are time-limited access codes that residents can create and share with guests, dog walkers, housekeepers, or delivery services. Each virtual key can be set to work once, on a recurring schedule, or within a specific time window. This eliminates the need to leave physical keys with a doorman or hide them under a mat. Every use of a virtual key is logged with a time-stamped photo, creating a complete audit trail.

Package delivery access is a particularly strong use case. Residents can issue a virtual key to their courier service, allowing delivery personnel to enter the building and leave packages in a secure area without requiring someone to buzz them in manually.

Cloud-Managed Resident Directory

The resident directory is managed through a cloud dashboard, which property managers can access from any web browser. Adding new residents, removing move-outs, and updating unit assignments happens in minutes rather than requiring a technician visit to reprogram the panel. For buildings with frequent resident turnover, this eliminates one of the most time-consuming aspects of traditional intercom management.

ButterflyMX also integrates with popular property management software platforms, allowing resident data to sync automatically and reducing duplicate data entry across systems.
