What is BuzEntry?

BuzEntry is an automated apartment buzzer answering service that instantly answers your building's intercom system and unlocks your door for deliveries, guests, and visitors. Our service provides a complete solution for apartment residents, condo owners, and anyone living in a multi-unit residential building who wants to eliminate the frustration of missed deliveries and constant buzzer interruptions.

Unlike traditional apartment intercom systems that require you to manually answer every call, BuzEntry automates the entire process. When someone buzzes your apartment, our system answers in under 2 seconds and automatically presses the unlock code for your door—no app to open, no phone to find, no interruption to your day.

How Our Automatic Door Entry System Works

BuzEntry works with virtually any apartment building buzzer system or intercom. Here's the complete technical process:

1. Phone Number Assignment: You receive a dedicated phone number that becomes your new apartment buzzer number. This number connects to our automated answering system.
2. Building Integration: You provide this number to your building manager to add to the directory, or update it yourself if your building allows. No hardware installation or special permissions required.
3. Code Configuration: You tell us which button or code sequence unlocks your door (typically 1 or 2, depending on your building's system).
4. Automatic Response: When anyone buzzes your apartment, our system instantly answers the call and automatically sends the unlock code using DTMF tones (the same button press tones your phone would send).
5. Door Unlocks: Your building's intercom receives the unlock code and opens the door, allowing your delivery driver, guest, or visitor to enter.
6. Notification: You receive an instant notification that someone accessed your building, so you always know when your door was unlocked.

The entire process happens in under 2 seconds—faster than most people can even pick up their phone. There's no app to install, no hardware to mount on your door, and no complex setup process.

Common Use Cases for Apartment Door Automation

Delivery Access Automation

The most common use case for BuzEntry is ensuring you never miss a delivery again. Whether it's Amazon packages, grocery delivery from Instacart or Amazon Fresh, food delivery from DoorDash, Uber Eats, or Grubhub, or any other delivery service—BuzEntry ensures drivers can always access your building. No more missed deliveries because you were in a meeting, in the shower, or didn't hear your phone.

Work-From-Home Convenience

For remote workers and work-from-home professionals, constant buzzer interruptions can destroy productivity. BuzEntry eliminates these interruptions by handling all buzzer calls automatically, allowing you to stay focused during Zoom meetings, deep work sessions, or client calls without worrying about missing important deliveries.

Guest Access Management

Whether you're expecting friends, family, or service providers (cleaners, maintenance workers, dog walkers), BuzEntry ensures they can always access your building even if you're not available to answer. This is especially useful when you're running late, in another room, or simply want visitors to let themselves in.

Accessibility Solution

For residents with mobility challenges, hearing impairments, or other accessibility needs, BuzEntry provides an automatic solution that doesn't require rushing to answer the buzzer or being physically able to hear the intercom ring.

Multiple Properties Management

Property managers, landlords, or anyone managing multiple apartment units can use BuzEntry to automate access across different properties without needing to manually answer buzzers for each location.

BuzEntry vs Traditional Solutions

vs. Manual Buzzer Answering

Traditional apartment buzzer systems require you to manually answer every call, find your phone, unlock it, open the intercom app (if your building has one), and press the unlock button—a process that takes 10-30 seconds if you're quick, and often results in missed deliveries if you're busy, away from your phone, or in another room. BuzEntry answers in under 2 seconds, automatically, every time.

vs. Smart Locks and Video Doorbells

Smart locks like August, Yale, or Schlage work great for your apartment door, but they don't solve the building entry problem—delivery drivers still can't get past the main lobby. Video doorbells like Ring or Nest require you to still manually answer and unlock the door. BuzEntry solves the building entry problem automatically, without requiring you to answer anything.

vs. Building Intercom Apps

Some modern apartment buildings have intercom apps (like ButterflyMX, Latch, or Callbox) that allow you to answer from your phone. However, you still need to manually open the app and press the unlock button for each visitor. BuzEntry eliminates this manual step entirely—no app to open, no button to press, completely automatic.

vs. Leaving Door Codes with Delivery Services

Some residents leave building access codes in delivery instructions, but this creates security risks (codes shared publicly in delivery apps) and doesn't work with buzzer-only buildings that require a phone call to unlock. BuzEntry provides secure, automated access without exposing your building's security codes.

Building Compatibility & System Requirements

BuzEntry is designed to work with virtually any apartment building intercom system that uses phone-based buzzer access. This includes:

• Traditional analog intercom systems (the most common type in older buildings)
• Digital VoIP-based intercom systems
• Telephone entry systems from manufacturers like DoorKing, Linear, Viking, Aiphone, and others
• Building directory systems that connect calls to resident phone numbers
• Any buzzer system that connects to a regular phone number

The only requirement is that your building's intercom system uses phone numbers for resident contact. If visitors currently call your phone number when they buzz your apartment, BuzEntry will work with your building.

No hardware installation required. Unlike some smart home solutions that require mounting devices, installing hubs, or getting building permission, BuzEntry is purely software-based. You simply change the phone number in your building's directory—something most buildings allow residents to do themselves.

Security, Privacy & Control

We understand that automating your door entry raises important security questions. Here's how BuzEntry keeps you secure:

• No Call Recordings: We never record or store audio from buzzer calls. Our system only processes the call long enough to send the unlock code.
• Bank-Level Encryption: All data transmitted between our servers and your building's intercom system uses industry-standard encryption.
• Instant Notifications: You receive a push notification every time someone accesses your building, so you always know when the door was unlocked.
• Pause Anytime: You can pause BuzEntry through your dashboard whenever you want to manually screen visitors or regain full control.
• No Physical Security Changes: BuzEntry doesn't change your building's security system—it simply answers the buzzer call the same way you would. The building's access control remains unchanged.

The Problem We Solve

Apartment living comes with a unique frustration: the building buzzer. While single-family homes have the convenience of delivery drivers simply leaving packages at the door, apartment residents face constant interruptions and missed deliveries. BuzEntry solves these specific pain points:

Missed Deliveries

You were home, but you were in the shower, on a work call, wearing headphones, or your phone was on silent. The delivery driver buzzed once and left. Now your package is returning to the warehouse or marked as undeliverable. This happens to apartment residents constantly—BuzEntry eliminates this problem entirely.

Constant Interruptions

Every delivery means stopping what you're doing, finding your phone, unlocking it, opening an app, and pressing a button. When you're receiving multiple deliveries a day (groceries, food, packages), this becomes a significant productivity drain. BuzEntry handles all of this automatically in the background.

Buzzer Anxiety

That feeling of always needing to be available, always keeping your phone nearby, always staying alert for the buzzer sound. You can't fully relax in your own home because you might miss a delivery. BuzEntry removes this mental burden—your door handles itself.

Cold Food, Melted Ice Cream

Food delivery is time-sensitive. If you miss the buzzer call by even 30 seconds, the driver may have already left. Your hot food arrives cold, or worse, doesn't arrive at all. BuzEntry's 2-second response time means food always arrives while it's still hot.

Who BuzEntry Is For

BuzEntry is designed for apartment residents, condo owners, and anyone living in a multi-unit residential building with a buzzer entry system. Specifically, our service is ideal for:

• Apartment renters and condo owners in buildings with intercom systems
• Work-from-home professionals who can't afford constant interruptions
• Frequent online shoppers who receive regular package deliveries
• Urban dwellers who order food delivery regularly
• Residents who have previously missed important deliveries or time-sensitive packages
• Anyone who finds manually answering the buzzer frustrating or inconvenient
• Property managers or landlords managing multiple units
• Residents with accessibility needs who struggle with traditional buzzer systems
• Busy families who need to coordinate guest access without constant coordination

Simple Setup Process

Unlike complex smart home systems that require professional installation, BuzEntry setup takes less than 5 minutes and requires no technical expertise:

1. Sign Up: Create your account and subscribe to BuzEntry ($6.99/month with 30-day money-back guarantee).
2. Get Your Number: Receive your dedicated phone number instantly upon signup.
3. Update Building Directory: Provide your new number to your building manager to update the directory, or update it yourself if your building allows self-service directory changes.
4. Set Your Unlock Code: Tell us which button unlocks your door (usually 1 or 2), and optionally set an additional security code.
5. Test It: Have someone buzz your apartment or test it yourself to confirm everything works.

That's it. No hardware to install, no electrician needed, no building permission required (beyond updating your phone number in the directory, which residents are typically allowed to do).

Pricing & Value

BuzEntry costs $6.99 per month with no setup fees, no contracts, and no hidden charges. This includes:

• Unlimited automatic door unlocks (no per-use fees)
• 2-second guaranteed response time
• Instant push notifications for every access
• 24/7 automated service (no downtime)
• Your dedicated phone number
• Dashboard access to pause/resume service anytime
• Email support

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee—if BuzEntry doesn't work with your building or you're not satisfied for any reason, we'll refund your payment in full, no questions asked.

To put this in perspective: missing a single grocery delivery or food order typically costs $50-150 in wasted food and reordering. BuzEntry pays for itself by preventing just one missed delivery per year.
