Motion Detection Video Clips: More than Just an Intercom
Swiftlane video intercoms handle visitor calls, face unlock, mobile access, and motion-triggered door video — all in one cloud-based device. Residents and property managers get a smarter way to handle visitors, deliveries, and entry, with a video record of every approach to the door, automatically. One system replaces your legacy callbox, your CCTV, and the patchwork of fragmented systems in between.
Securing Thousands of Properties Nationwide
See Exactly What Happened at the Door and When
Your access log tells you whose credential opened the door, but not what happened in the thirty seconds before, after, or beside it. The package that disappeared. The visitor at 2 AM. The vendor who never showed.
Swiftlane video intercoms automatically record when motion is detected at the door. So when someone asks who came through and when, you already have the footage.
Six Ways Swiftlane Makes Your Building Easier to Run
Two-Way HD Video Calls
Residents see, hear, and verify every visitor in 1080p from the app, a landline, or any phone. No more missed deliveries because the buzzer didn't work.
Visitor and Delivery Management
Residents pre-authorize guests, dog walkers, and recurring deliveries from the app. PINs and codes expire automatically — no leftover access from last month's vendor.
Face Unlock and Mobile Credentials
Walk up, glance at the intercom, and the door opens. Or unlock from a phone, PIN, or key card. Residents pick what works for them.
Motion-Triggered Video Monitoring
Every approach to the door is recorded automatically — not just events that triggered an unlock. The full picture of who came near the building, every day.
Manage Everything Remotely
One cloud dashboard for one building or fifty. Add residents, revoke access, pull video, all without a site visit.
Industry Leading Hardware Durability
IK10 vandal-rated hardware, cellular fallback, battery backup, SOC II-certified cloud. Engineered for the front door of any building size.
Get a Visual Video Log and Stop Worrying
When every approach to your building is on video, day-to-day operations and incident response both get easier.

Frequently Asked Questions
Motion detection records a 15-second clip whenever someone approaches a Swiftlane intercom — it's designed for entry monitoring, not full-property surveillance. For many buildings, it covers the entry-point use case that CCTV was previously installed for. Properties with broader interior or perimeter coverage needs may still use a separate camera system alongside it.
Additional clips are still recorded and stored. They appear locked in the Activity Feed until you upgrade. Once you activate the paid tier, all clips from the past 30 days become immediately viewable.
By default, motion detection is active 24/7, up to 300 clips per device per day. Custom recording schedules can be configured to record only during specific windows — nights, weekends, or shift changes.
