What is the ButterflyMX front desk station?
The ButterflyMX front desk station is software that’s installed on your computer, which allows you to manage visitor access and resident communication from anywhere in the world. By installing the front desk station, 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) — ensuring that guests’ proof of permission to enter is validated.
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
- Engagement with residents through the mobile app or SMS messaging
