What is the ButterflyMX Front Desk Station?
Front Desk Station is a piece of software for your computer. It empowers you to manage visitor access and resident communication from anywhere. You can monitor all of your building’s ButterflyMX-controlled access points through a live video feed. And, interact directly with visitors through your ButterflyMX video intercom(s) and validate guests’ proof of permission to enter before letting them in.
Other features of the Front Desk Station include:
- Streamlined visitor access management
- Ability to listen and talk to visitors at the entrance
- Power to grant access to guests with the push of a button
- Ability to unlock specific elevator floors from the front desk
- Engagement with residents through the mobile app or SMS messaging

Step 1. Reach out to ButterflyMX support
Call ButterflyMX support at 800.398.4416, ext 2. Our support team will send you a link to download the installation file and an activation code. Then, they’ll walk you through the Front Desk Station setup and your headset and camera setup if applicable.
Step 2: Connect your access points
Once you’ve installed and activated the software, our support team will help you add the ButterflyMX Video Intercoms that you want to see from the Front Desk Station. They’ll also help you adjust which ButterflyMX-controlled doors, gates, and elevators can and cannot be unlocked from the Front Desk Station.
Step 3: Customize your screen
Once your access points are connected, you can customize your display. You can ‘favorite’ certain camera views by clicking the star icon in order to make them appear first in the list. Otherwise, the arrangement is alphabetical by intercom name. Additionally, you can choose favorite contacts from the directory so that you can quickly get in touch with those you frequently call, like the leasing office or maintenance.
