Smart Buzzer System: Upgrade Your Building in 2025
Still relying on a traditional apartment intercom system over a smart buzzer system to manage building access? You’re not alone — but it’s time for an upgrade. In 2025, apartments and condos that continue using outdated buzzer systems risk falling behind. A smart buzzer system for apartments like Buzzcut delivers the modern convenience today’s residents expect, while enhancing building security and simplifying access management for property managers.
As demand for seamless, tech-driven living continues to rise, a smart buzzer system for apartments isn’t just a nice-to-have — it’s becoming essential in modern multi-unit buildings.
What is a smart buzzer?
A smart buzzer is a modern, internet-connected entry system that allows residents to manage building access from their smartphones. Unlike traditional buzzers that require landlines or in-unit devices, smart buzzers offer flexibility, mobility, and ease of use.
Residents can:
- Unlock doors remotely through an app
- Share temporary or recurring access codes
- Receive instant notifications when someone rings
- Integrate their access with smart home devices

Why traditional buzzers are outdated
Traditional buzzers weren’t built for a world where residents work remotely, get daily deliveries, and expect on-demand convenience. Most of these systems:
- Depend on physical wiring or landlines
- Offer no visibility or tracking of visitor history
- Require someone to be home to grant access
- Break frequently, often with costly repair bills
In fact, a recent Wired article pointed out that smart access systems are becoming the default for modern apartments and condos.
Five reasons to upgrade to a smart buzzer

Whether you’re at the office or on vacation, you can unlock the front door or gate with a tap. No more missed visitors or delivery delays. - Better delivery experience
Buzzcut allows you to create safe, trackable entry points for couriers, so packages don’t get left outside or lost. - Custom codes for guests
