ADT’s Trusted Neighbor™ feature modernizes the tradition of providing a neighbor a key to your house. It does away with the need for physical keys or keypad codes and permits you to manage who has access to your College Station home and for how long. Learn more about how it works with your ADT home security system and Google Nest cameras. 

How Does ADT Trusted Neighbor Work?

You probably have neighbors you trust to walk your dog, collect your mail, or tend to your plants when you leave home. Before, you would just provide them a key to your house. There’s now a better way. Thanks to the innovative ADT Trusted Neighbor Feature, you won’t have to worry about doors left unlocked or missing keys. 

All you need is an ADT home security system, a Google Nest doorbell, a compatible smart lock, and the ADT+ app that brings it all together. Here’s how to set it up: 

1. You grant access to a trusted individual, like a family member or neighbor, with the ADT+ app.
2. Next, you define permissions. You can provide neighbors with timed access, letting them come and go during specific hours, or event-based admittance. To illustrate, if a box arrives, the system can unfasten the door to let them take it inside once it validates them.
3. After you’ve programmed access, your Google Nest Doorbell camera uses familiar face detection to confirm your neighbor as they proceed toward the door.
4. Your ADT security system will disarm and deactivate the lock when the individual is verified as a permitted user.
5. You are sent real-time alerts as your family member, friend, or neighbor enters and departs. The app also supplies a complete history. 
6. After the trusted neighbor leaves, your smart door lock secures independently to safeguard your home.

You may grant access for any individual you want, such as a dog walker, a repair person, or a companion who arrives when you’re away. This tool is also useful during urgent situations, especially when you’re away. For example, if a water sensor goes off, your system can provide event-driven access so an individual can enter and switch off the water. The handy app makes configuring permissions straightforward.
