How does the QR Code Intercom work?

Visitors scan the QR Code Intercom using their smartphone camera, which launches a secure, web-based intercom. They then search the property directory to place a one-way video call. The property’s staff or resident sees who’s requesting access and unlocks the door or gate via the ButterflyMX mobile app.

Do visitors need to download a mobile app?

No, the QR Code Intercom does not require your visitor to download a mobile app. All access is available through a web browser for a quick and easy guest experience.

Yes, the ButterflyMX QR Code Intercom can be installed on virtually any surface. You can mount the plaque on glass, brick, metal, stucco, stone, and wood using adhesive or screws. Orientation options include both landscape and portrait.

Is it compatible with the ButterflyMX app?

What property types is it best for?
