  • Runs on a ButterflyMX subscription, which we explain in the quote
  • Connected to your gate operator or door hardware and tested on site

Yes, with an app-based or cellular system. The panel calls your phone and you can open the gate from the call or the app.

Do I need internet at the gate?

App and video systems need a reliable internet or cellular connection. Telephone-entry systems use a phone or cellular line. We check what is available at your gate.

Does ButterflyMX have a monthly cost?

Will a new intercom work with my gate?

Most intercoms connect to the gate operator to open it. We confirm compatibility with your operator before installing.
