Say hello to ButterflyMX’s next generation video intercom
ButterflyMX
Video intercoms, access control systems, and security cameras loved by 15,000 multifamily, gated, commercial properties.
Property access enters its next phase with a breakthrough in mobile-based access control.
In 2015, ButterflyMX introduced the world’s first smart video intercom, transforming mobile-based access control. Since then, ButterflyMX has added an access control system, package room, elevator controls, and vehicle access system, which serve more than 10,000 buildings and 1,000,000 apartment units — including those developed, owned, and managed by the most trusted names in multifamily and commercial real estate.?
This year, at the 2023 OPTECH Conference, we announced our next generation 8” and 12” video intercoms. These new intercoms build on nearly a decade of success in multifamily and commercial real estate and transform the property access experience for your residents, staff, guests, and service providers — all while setting a new design standard for access control products. Read on to learn more about the design, features, and property-wide access control experience of our next generation intercoms.?
Design
Our next generation intercoms are designed to immediately enhance the curb appeal of any property. The sleek and modern design features curved edges, ultra-bright LED screens, and a welcoming & intuitive interface that instantly captures the attention of your property staff, residents, and visitors. But don’t let the new intercom’s elegant design fool you; they’re able to withstand the harshest conditions thanks to hardened aluminum housing and weatherized casing.?
By combining world-class design with powerful features, these next generation intercoms boost your property value by reducing operating costs, increasing revenue, and improving resident satisfaction.?
Features
After nearly a decade of innovating access control in real estate — we’ve released the newest iteration of our award-winning video intercom system. These new intercoms are engineered with the latest in cutting-edge technology. But what specifically makes our new intercoms a leap forward from its predecessors?
The new video intercoms feature:?
Built-in WiFi for easy installation
The newest iteration of our smart video intercoms feature built-in WiFi. So, any internet-related installation and connectivity challenges are eliminated! By opting for our new intercoms with 5GHz WiFi, properties with difficult installations can easily install this modern access control solution — without the added cost of running cabling.
Wide-angle camera for enhanced security
Our new intercoms have a wide-angle camera with a 156o field-of-view that captures all activity at your property’s front door, gate, or garage. So, no matter if a visitor is standing out of view or someone suspicious is intentionally avoiding the camera, you have a crystal clear video of your visitor before providing property access.
Like all of our access control products, our new video intercoms store photos of all entry events in a date- and time-stamped audit log available through the ButterflyMX OS. So, your property staff and residents can view a history of all property events from the last 365 days.

RFID for fob and keycard access
ButterflyMX’s mission is to make property access simple. But smartphones aren’t a foolproof solution — imagine a tenant’s phone is misplaced or the battery dies. That’s why the next generation ButterflyMX intercoms employ RFID (radio frequency identification).?
By designing our new intercoms to have RFID technology in the device, our intercom system supports key cards and fobs as an additional credential option. So, tenants can access the building using key cards, fobs, mobile phones, and PIN codes, rather than a single supported credential.
Cast aluminum for improved durability
Like our previous models, our new intercoms are IP65 outdoor-rated to withstand rain, snow, dust, and cleaning agents. The newest design is now proven to withstand vandalism and temperatures between -40oF to +140oF (-40oC to +60 oC) thanks to its hardened aluminum housing and weatherized casing.?
Ultra bright LED display for visibility day or night
Our new intercom systems have an astonishing 1,500 nits of brightness, making for a head-turning experience at your property’s entryway that’s hard to miss. And once users approach the video intercom, the intuitive touchscreen and user interface make it easy for them to request property access and be on their way.
Compatibility
Our next generation systems are more than just intercoms — they’re the first step in transforming the property access experience at your building. These intercoms pair perfectly with the entire ecosystem of ButterflyMX access control products, so your staff, residents, and visitors can easily & securely access the spaces they live, work, and visit.?

ButterflyMX at OPTECH
Our next generation video intercoms were an alluring display at this year’s OPTECH Conference & Expo.?
Daniel Stevens, Senior Director, Solutions Architecture & Implementation, says:
OPTECH was the perfect venue to launch our next generation intercom and showcase our full lineup of access control products. Our new intercom attracted both new and existing clients to the ButterflyMX booth who were excited to get a closer look at our latest technology. A common theme after visiting with clients and partners was that they already thought our previous generation intercoms were great-looking devices, but this new intercom is eye-catching with tremendous curb appeal. The additional connectivity options, and built-in fob/card compatibility are going to provide them with more options to explore as they approach future projects.
Tony Glorioso, Head of Product Design at ButterflyMX, says, “The new intercom stood out from the crowd,” and he “heard multiple people say it looked modern, even beautiful, and was setting a new industry standard.”
And Eliza Deissler, Senior Director, Product, notes that conference patrons said the new device was “much more modern and sleek” and that “people were excited about the new functionality available, especially for RFID!”
