At Security & Life Integrations, we talk to a lot of property managers comparing systems like ButterflyMX, Akuvox, DoorBird, 2N, Aiphone, and Comelit.
The assumption is usually that you need one of those big-name systems to get full functionality.
That’s not the case.
This smart intercom delivers the same level of capability, while giving you something those systems often don’t—local support and hands-on service.
Same Capability as the Big Brands
This is not a stripped-down or “budget” system. It’s a full-featured intercom designed to compete directly with the systems most properties are considering.
You still get:
- Video intercom with touchscreen directory
- Mobile app for remote unlock and management
- Facial recognition for hands-free entry
- Fob, card, PIN, and Bluetooth access
- Dual cameras for clear video and verification
- Multiple relay outputs for doors, gates, or elevators
- Integration options (Wiegand, RS485, inputs)
From a functionality standpoint, it checks every box that systems like ButterflyMX and 2N offer.
Lower Cost Without Losing Features
Where this system stands out is cost efficiency.
Compared to systems like ButterflyMX:
- Lower upfront hardware cost
- More flexible monthly or cloud options
- No unnecessary features driving up pricing
You’re getting the same core capabilities—just without paying a premium for branding or oversized infrastructure.
Local Support That Actually Handles Everything
This is where most systems fall short.
With many national platforms:
- You’re calling support lines
- Waiting on emails
- Handling day-to-day changes yourself
With Security & Life Integrations, we handle it for you.
- We add and remove users
- We program key fobs and credentials
- We make system changes as needed
- We troubleshoot issues quickly
You’re not stuck managing the system on your own.
We Handle Key Fobs, Users, and Changes
Access control systems only work well when they’re maintained properly.
We take that off your plate by:
- Adding new tenants, employees, or vendors
- Removing access immediately when needed
- Programming and managing key fobs
- Keeping your system organized and up to date
This is a big difference from systems where you’re expected to do everything yourself.
Built for Real-World Property Management
Many intercom systems are designed with a one-size-fits-all approach. In reality, every property operates differently.
This system is flexible enough to work for:
- Apartment buildings with fewer units
- Commercial office spaces
- Mixed-use properties
- Properties with a single main entry or a few controlled doors
You get a system that fits your property—not one you have to adapt to.
All Access Methods, Not Just One
Some systems push heavily toward mobile-only access. That doesn’t always work for every user.
With this system, you can support everyone:
- Facial recognition for quick, hands-free entry
- Mobile app for convenience and remote access
- Fobs and cards for traditional users
- PIN codes for backup or shared access
You’re not limited to one method—you have full flexibility.
Real-World Example
A tenant moves out and a new one moves in the same day.
With other systems:
- You log in, make changes, troubleshoot issues
- Hope everything updates correctly
With us:
- You send a quick request
- We handle the update
- Access is ready immediately
Simple, fast, and handled for you.
A Better Alternative Without Tradeoffs
This isn’t about choosing a cheaper system. It’s about choosing a better-supported one.
With this solution, you get:
- The same capability as major intercom brands
- Lower upfront and ongoing cost
- Local support that actually handles the work
- A system that stays organized and functional over time
That combination is what most properties are really looking for.
