What Is The ADT Trusted Neighbor Feature?
ADT’s Trusted Neighbor™ feature brings the age-old practice of supplying a neighbor a key to your home into the modern age. It removes the requirement for actual keys or passcodes and permits you to manage who can access your Decatur home and for what duration. Find out more about how you can implement it with your ADT home security system and Google Nest cameras.
How Does ADT Trusted Neighbor Work?
You likely have neighbors you trust to retrieve your mail, take your dog out, or water your plants when you leave home. Typically, you would just provide them a house key. There’s now a better way. Thanks to ADT's Trusted Neighbor Feature, you no longer have to be concerned about doors left unlocked or misplaced keys.
What you need is an ADT home security system, a Google Nest video doorbell, a smart door lock, and the ADT+ app that permits everything to function as one. Here’s how the service works:
- You assign access to a trusted person, like a close friend or neighbor, through the ADT+ app.
- Then, you configure permissions. You can assign neighbors timed access, letting them come and go during specific hours, or event-based admittance. To illustrate, if a box arrives, the system can unlock the door to let them bring it inside once it verifies them.
- After you’ve configured access, your Google Nest Doorbell uses familiar face detection to verify your neighbor when they approach the door.
- Your ADT home security will disarm and deactivate the lock when the individual is verified as a permitted guest.
- You are sent instant updates as your neighbor comes and goes. The app also provides a detailed log.
- When the trusted neighbor exits, your smart door lock secures independently to safeguard your home.
You may authorize access for any individual you want, such as a dog walker, a repair person, or a friend who comes over when you’re away. This service is also helpful during emergencies, especially when you’re not around. For instance, if a water sensor trips, your system can provide event-driven access so an individual can enter and turn off the water supply. Programming permissions is straightforward with the helpful app.
