Brand profile · Cloud video intercom · Property access
ButterflyMX is a U.S.-based proptech company focused on smartphone-powered video intercoms and cloud property access. Their platform replaces legacy in-unit handsets and on-site servers with sleek entry panels, mobile apps and a cloud dashboard for property managers.
On Chicago North Shore we recommend ButterflyMX when a condo, HOA or gated community wants to simplify deliveries and visitor access, reduce key and fob headaches and give residents a clean, modern entry experience that lives on their phones.
ButterflyMX is not just one panel – it is a family of products designed to cover every access point on the property. In Chicago North Shore we typically deploy:
Touchscreen or keypad-based video intercoms at main doors and gates that call residents’ smartphones, show live video and let them unlock remotely. No in-unit hardware and only a few key connections: internet, power and door strike.
Controllers and readers that extend the ButterflyMX platform to side doors, staff entrances, garages and amenity spaces, with mobile, PIN, card and fob credentials managed from the same cloud.
Integration that allows visitors to be granted access not only through the lobby door but also to the correct floor, improving security while still keeping the experience simple for guests.
Solutions for controlled package rooms and mailrooms, helping buildings cope with high parcel volume and giving residents self-service pickup options.
Hands-free or app-based access devices for community gates and parking garage entrances, replacing traditional remotes and reducing the logistics of managing clickers and stickers.
ButterflyMX panels and software can support staffed front desks or remote/virtual concierge workflows, depending on the building’s staffing model and budget.
In our equipment catalog we highlight ButterflyMX-compatible components and the network, locks and low-voltage hardware that we typically pair with this platform in real installations.
In most buildings ButterflyMX becomes the public-facing access layer, while other systems provide cameras, network and locking hardware. A typical design for our area might include:
The goal is always the same: a simple, friendly resident experience with solid security and minimal day-to-day friction for the management office.
We specialise in tying ButterflyMX into the rest of the low-voltage and IT environment at your property instead of treating it as an isolated gadget. Our work typically includes:
For new ButterflyMX projects we provide free estimates, and for new service clients we offer a 50% discount on the first service visit to audit and stabilise existing systems in our Chicago North Shore service area.
No. ButterflyMX is one of our preferred platforms for cloud video intercoms and property access, but we design around the building first and then choose the right mix of vendors for intercoms, cameras, access control and networking.
Yes. We can remove analogue or phone-based systems, reuse existing pathways where possible, run new network cabling as needed and migrate your resident directory to a modern ButterflyMX deployment with mobile apps.
ButterflyMX is cloud-based, but door hardware can still be wired to local access control devices and backup power. We design systems so that critical doors remain operable and secure, and we explain realistic behaviours during outages before installation.
In many cases yes. ButterflyMX access controllers and readers can drive existing strikes and maglocks, and we can coordinate with your current access control platform or smart lock vendor to build a clean integration.
Absolutely. We offer free estimates for new projects and 50% off the first service visit when we are called to diagnose or stabilise an existing system within our service area.
Yes. We can audit an existing deployment, document how it is wired and configured, coordinate with ButterflyMX support where needed and provide ongoing maintenance for doors, gates and related low-voltage equipment.
