BUTTERFLYMX VIDEO INTERCOM INSTALLATION IN NYC
Impera Security is a professional ButterflyMX installer serving apartment buildings and residential properties throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. We design, install, and configure ButterflyMX video intercom systems for NYC buildings of all sizes — from 2-unit brownstones to large multi-family residential towers.
WHY BUTTERFLYMX FOR NYC APARTMENT BUILDINGS
ButterflyMX was built specifically for multi-family residential buildings - and it shows. The system was designed in New York City with NYC building stock in mind, which is why it fits the city's specific challenges better than most alternatives.
For NYC property owners and managers, ButterflyMX solves the most common building entry problems cleanly and permanently:
No in-unit hardware required - ButterflyMX works entirely through tenants' smartphones. No panels to install in each apartment, no wiring runs to individual units, no hardware to maintain in 20 or 30 or 50 units. Just one entry panel at the building entrance and a cloud platform that manages everything.
Smartphone door release from anywhere - tenants receive a video call on their phone when someone buzzes and can open the door from anywhere in the world. Whether they're in the apartment upstairs or traveling abroad, they control who enters their building.
Delivery management - ButterflyMX's delivery PIN feature lets carriers enter a one-time code to access the lobby and leave packages inside. In a city where package theft is one of the most common building complaints, this feature alone makes the upgrade worth it for many NYC landlords.
Virtual keys for guests - tenants can issue time-limited virtual keys to dog walkers, cleaners, and recurring visitors without the landlord being involved. No more calls asking you to let someone in.
Complete audit trail - every entry event is logged with a photo. If something happens in your building, you have a visual record of who entered and when.
Remote management - building owners and managers control everything from a web dashboard. Add a new tenant, remove a former one, review access logs, grant temporary access - all without visiting the building.
BUTTERFLYMX SYSTEMS WE INSTALL IN NYC
We install the full range of ButterflyMX products for NYC residential and commercial properties:
ButterflyMX Video Intercom - the core product and the most widely installed intercom system in NYC apartment buildings. Single entry panel with HD video, wide-angle lens, and full smartphone integration. Available in surface-mount and flush-mount configurations.
ButterflyMX Package Room - access-controlled package room solution that integrates with the ButterflyMX intercom. Carriers deliver to a secure package room using a delivery PIN. Tenants retrieve packages using their existing app credential.
ButterflyMX Elevator Controls - for larger NYC buildings, ButterflyMX integrates with elevator systems to restrict floor access by credential. Visitors can only access the floor they've been buzzed to, not the entire building.
ButterflyMX Parking - access control for parking garages and lots, integrated with the same ButterflyMX platform managing building entry.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Most ButterflyMX installations are completed in one day. Because the system doesn't require wiring to individual units, installation is significantly faster and less disruptive than traditional intercom systems. Larger buildings with multiple entry points may take two days.
-
Yes. ButterflyMX is one of the most common intercom upgrade systems we install in NYC — replacing aging Urmet, Elvox, Aiphone, Comelit, and other legacy systems. In many cases we can reuse existing wiring, which reduces cost and disruption significantly.
-
Most ButterflyMX installations for NYC apartment buildings range from $1,500 for small brownstones to $7,000+ for larger multi-family buildings with multiple entry points. We provide free on-site assessments and itemized quotes — no phone estimates.
-
Yes. ButterflyMX works over tenants' cellular data connections — tenants don't need to be connected to the building's Wi-Fi to receive calls and open the door. The entry panel itself requires a reliable internet connection, which we assess and configure during installation.
-
ButterflyMX is designed as a smartphone-first system. Tenants without smartphones can be issued a key fob credential through an integrated access control reader, or the building can maintain a traditional key for that unit. We discuss these situations during the site assessment and recommend the right solution for your tenant mix.
-
ButterflyMX integrates with many major access control platforms including Brivo, Salto, and others. We assess compatibility during the free site visit and advise on the best integration approach for your specific building.
