What Is The ADT Trusted Neighbor Feature?

ADT’s Trusted Neighbor™ service brings the age-old practice of supplying a neighbor a key to your home into the modern age. It eliminates the requirement for actual keys or passcodes and allows you to oversee who has access to your Duluth home and for what duration. Learn more about how to incorporate it with your ADT home security system and Google Nest doorbell camera. 

How Does ADT Trusted Neighbor Work?

You probably have neighbors you trust to collect your mail, walk your dog, or tend to your plants when you go out of town. Typically, you would simply give them a key to your house. There’s a better way to do it now. Thanks to ADT's Trusted Neighbor Feature, you no longer have to worry about missing keys or doors left open. 

All you need is an ADT home security system, a Google Nest video doorbell, a an automated door lock, and the ADT+ app that allows everything to function in unison. Here’s how it works: 

  1. You give access to a trusted person, like a neighbor or relative, via the ADT+ app.
  2. Then, you configure permissions. You can provide neighbors with timed access, permitting them to enter and exit during a designated timeframe, or event-based entry. To illustrate, if a box is delivered, the system can unfasten the door to allow your neighbor to bring it in once it authenticates them.
  3. After you’ve programmed access, your Google Nest Doorbell with familiar face detection recognizes your neighbor as they come near the door.
  4. Your ADT home security will disarm and unlock the door when the approachee is authenticated as a permitted visitor.
  5. You are sent immediate alerts as your neighbor comes and goes. The app also supplies a complete log. 
  6. Once the trusted neighbor leaves, your smart door lock secures independently to shield your home.

You can authorize access for any individual you wish, such as a pet sitter, a maintenance worker, or a partner who arrives when you’re away. This service is also helpful during emergencies, particularly when you’re away. For instance, if a water sensor triggers, your system can provide event-driven access so an individual can enter and turn off the water supply. Programming permissions is straightforward with the intuitive app.

This tool isn’t merely for neighbors and guests, as you’ll enjoy the face recognition and auto-unlock functionality when you’re carrying children or deliveries.
