With ButterflyMX, residents can open and manage the community gates from their smartphones anywhere in the world. We no longer have to worry about the hassle and expense of handing out and managing fobs, keycards, stickers, or remotes to residents. And since it’s smartphone-based, residents intuitively know how to use it without us having to explain it to them.

Frequently asked questions
What does your mobile application allow me to do?
Our mobile app allows you to open and manage doors, gates, garages, and elevators from your smartphone. It also issues Visitor Passes, creates delivery PINs, reviews entry logs, and much more. It also lets you take advantage of all future updates.
For more information on the features that come standard with our mobile app, please visit our resident features page.
Can ButterflyMX Video Intercoms be installed outside?
Yes, all of our access control products (including our Video Intercoms) are IP65-rated, which means they can be installed outside. They’re all designed to withstand rain, cold, heat, snow, and cleaning agents and can be installed in areas where temperatures range from -40ºF to +140 ºF (-40ºC to +60 ºC ).
For more information on where our Video Intercoms can be used, please review our installation documentation.
Can visitors see me on ButterflyMX?
Only if you want the visitor to. When you receive a video call from the ButterflyMX Intercom, the call starts as a one-way video. This means you can see and hear the visitors, but they cannot see you. If you’d like the visitor to see you, click the ‘camera’ button, and they’ll be able to see you, too.
You do not need to start a video call to open the door or gate for your visitor—you can do this by clicking on ‘open door/gate’ at any time.
Learn more about how video calls work with ButterflyMX.
How durable are ButterflyMX Video Intercoms?
ButterflyMX Video Intercoms are made from hardened materials designed to withstand even the most extreme weather conditions. Our touchscreen is made from a polycarbonate display and is vandal-resistant.
For more information on the materials used to manufacture our intercoms, please review our Video Intercom documentation.
Do you install your Video Intercom?
No, our Video Intercoms and other access control products are installed by a local low-voltage installer. Typically, the same person who installed your electronic locks or the security system at your property.
We do, however, have a nationwide network of certified installers that we can recommend if you need assistance in installing our products. Contact us to get connected with an installer in your area.
What is needed to install ButterflyMX Video Intercoms?
ButterflyMX Video Intercoms only require three connections to be installed at your building: internet, power, and door strike. For more information on how to install our Video Intercoms, please visit our installation resources page.
Do you offer pedestals for your Video Intercoms?
We have partnered with PedestalPro to design and manufacture pedestals for our smart Video Intercoms. If you would like more information on the pedestals they offer, please visit PedestalPro.com
Do you update your software?
Yes, we have a team of software developers and engineers who are constantly working on new features and integrations. When a new feature or integration becomes available, we push it out to all users of our platform.
Is ButterflyMX safe?
Yes, ButterflyMX is safe for building staff, residents, and visitors. The ButterflyMX Video Intercom and Access Control System connect directly to your smartphone so you can see and speak with your visitors before letting them into your property. Our systems also use data encryption and protection to keep your personal information safe and secure. If you would like to learn more, you can read our privacy policy.
