ButterflyMX Launches the Next Breakthrough in Property Access Control: QR Code Intercom

Provides secure, smartphone-based entry with lower hardware and installation costs, making it easier to onboard properties at scale

NEW YORK, July 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ButterflyMX, the leading cloud-based property access and security platform for multifamily and commercial properties, today announced the launch of the real estate industry's first QR Code Intercom. Designed to simplify property entry without the cost or complexity of traditional access control hardware, the QR Code Intercom enables visitors, staff, and residents to access properties using just a smartphone. Built for developers, owners, and managers, the QR Code Intercom offers an affordable and flexible way to expand access coverage while integrating seamlessly with ButterflyMX's property-wide access control platform.

This property access breakthrough delivers the essential features ButterflyMX is known for, but with significantly lower hardware and installation costs. By scanning a mounted QR code, users launch a secure, web-based intercom experience with video, audio, and a searchable directory directly on their smartphone. The QR Code Intercom allows properties to extend access control to secondary entrances, garages, and remote areas where traditional systems may be cost-prohibitive or impractical.

"Our QR Code Intercom is a smart, simple, and secure way for property developers, owners, and managers to offer their residents, staff, and visitors many of the benefits of ButterflyMX's industry-leading access control and security platform," says Aaron Rudenstine, CEO of ButterflyMX. "It's ideal for budget-conscious properties or those with multiple entryways that want to simplify resident, visitor, and delivery access without the need for additional hardware. With our new QR Code Intercom, properties can reduce upfront costs while still providing the award-winning access experience that ButterflyMX is known for."

The QR Code Intercom was designed to give developers, owners, and managers an easy and cost-effective way to offer property-wide access control and security from a smartphone. Instead of relying entirely on the purchase and installation of traditional access control hardware, properties can mount a laser-etched QR code plaque at any door, gate, or garage where they would like to provide access. Anyone requiring property access simply scans the QR code to launch an entirely web-based intercom experience, complete with a searchable resident directory, secure one-way video, and convenient two-way audio.

"Since our founding, we've been on a mission to simplify property access at every multi-tenant building, big or small," says Cyrus Claffey, Founder of ButterflyMX. "With the introduction of our QR Code Intercom, we're reaffirming our commitment to property access made simple by reducing the upfront hardware and installation costs of adding smartphone-based access control to your building. Now, it doesn't matter whether you're a small HOA, a co-op or condo building, a single- or multi-tenant commercial office, or a sprawling multifamily, gated, or commercial property; our QR Code Intercom makes it easier and more affordable than ever to offer a ButterflyMX's premium access control and security experience to your residents, visitors, deliveries, and staff."

The QR Code Intercom combines sleek design with enterprise-grade security and seamless integration. Installation is simple—properties mount a laser-etched plaque at any entry point and pair it with a ButterflyMX access controller. Available in anodized aluminum, stainless steel, or brass, the plaque is tamper-evident and weather-resistant. Visitors access the property by scanning the code to launch a secure, app-free web-based intercom with one-way video and two-way audio. Residents and staff can continue using the ButterflyMX mobile app to unlock doors, view video calls, and manage access remotely. End-to-end encryption, geofencing, rate limiting, and full audit trails ensure every entry is logged and secure. Fully integrated with ButterflyMX's broader platform, the QR Code Intercom works alongside the Video Intercom, Access Control System, Security Cameras, and more.
