This provides a unique opportunity to create a strong first impression of your property. ButterflyMX allows you to add a custom screen saver to your video intercom – so you can add an image of your logo, building staff, or maybe even a photo of your rooftop pool to entice prospective residents. Your custom screensaver can be added or changed at any time in the ButterflyMX OS.
