Video intercom panels
High-definition camera panels at every entry. Residents see and hear visitors before opening the door. Built to handle New York winters.
Intercom
See who's at the door.
Video intercom and smartphone access for NYC buildings. Talk to visitors, buzz them in, from anywhere.
Make the lobby work for everyone.
Tenants buzz in guests from their phone, whether they're home or not. Deliveries get through without anyone running down. Visitors find the right unit without calling management.
You add a new tenant by typing their name. You remove them when they leave. No more wiring diagrams. No more service calls for a directory change.
Do you need?
Smartphone access
Visitors press a unit number. The tenant's phone rings. They see the visitor, talk to them, unlock the door — from anywhere with internet.
Multi-tenant directory
Sleek lobby panels with a searchable directory. Add or remove tenants in minutes from a web dashboard.
Two-wire to IP retrofit
We upgrade legacy buzzer systems to modern IP intercoms. Existing cabling gets reused where it can, so we don't open walls unnecessarily.
How we'd approach your building.
The lobby with a package problem
A 60-unit building. Packages pile up inside the front door, and every week another resident reports one missing. Management doesn't have time to buzz couriers in, and the door props open all afternoon.
What we install: A ButterflyMX video intercom with delivery PINs, so couriers get in once, drop inside, and the door locks behind them. Pair it with a camera on the package area, date-stamped and searchable. Residents see who's at the door from their phone, wherever they are.
The pre-war building with an intercom from the 80s
The buzzer half-works. Some units never got wired, some handsets are dead, and the board's been quoted a fortune to tear open the walls.
What we install: A retrofit video intercom that runs over your existing riser wiring. No chiseling into plaster, no new conduit, no repainting. Modern panel at the door, app for the tenants, the old cable doing the work.
The condo board that wants control without a desk
No doorman, no front desk, and a board that wants to manage the directory without calling a vendor every time someone moves.
What we install: A cloud-managed intercom. Update the directory from a dashboard, add or remove residents in seconds, check entry logs from anywhere. It runs on a subscription, and we put that cost up front so the board can budget it, no surprise at renewal.
Intercom you're not stuck with.
No proprietary cards to reorder
Modern systems use smartphone credentials and standard cards. No calling the manufacturer every time someone moves in.
Tenant changes take seconds
Add, remove, or update a tenant from the admin dashboard. No service call. No reprogramming visits.
Built to last past the install
Documented from day one: panel locations, wiring, admin access. Change contractors in year six and the next one reads the system instead of guessing. You're never stuck with us.
Common questions
Can you replace my building's old buzzer system with video?
Yes. We specialize in legacy buzzer upgrades. In many buildings we reuse the existing two-wire cabling, which keeps costs down and avoids opening walls. The new system gives residents video and smartphone access.
How does smartphone-based intercom work?
A visitor presses your unit number. Your phone rings with a video call over Wi-Fi or cell data. You see and hear them, then unlock the door with a tap. Works whether you're home, at work, or out of town.
Can a tenant still buzz in guests without a smartphone?
Yes. Every system can include in-unit stations for residents who prefer them, or use the smartphone app as a backup. Nobody gets left out.
What happens when a tenant moves out?
Building management removes them from the dashboard. Their app access stops, their name comes off the directory, the next tenant gets added. No service call needed.
How much does it cost to replace a building intercom in NYC?
It depends on the building. Audio-only systems start lower. Video and IP systems for a multi-unit building generally run from a few thousand dollars into the low five figures, depending on unit count, wiring condition, and whether we can reuse the existing risers. We give you a fixed number after the site visit, not a guess over the phone.
How do I stop package theft in my building?
The fix is getting couriers inside and the door locked behind them. A video intercom with delivery PINs lets major couriers in once to drop packages, then locks up. Add a camera on the package area and you have date-stamped footage of every entry.
Let's scope it.
