ADT’s Trusted Neighbor™ tool brings the tradition of giving a neighbor a key to your home into the technological age. It does away with the necessity of physical keys or keypad codes and permits you to control who has access to your Waco home and for what duration. Find out more about how to incorporate it with your ADT home security system and Google Nest doorbell camera. 

How Does ADT Trusted Neighbor Work?

You likely have neighbors you trust to water your plants, get your mail, or take your dog out when you go out of town. Typically, you would just supply them with a key to your house. There’s a better way to do it now. Thanks to the innovative ADT Trusted Neighbor Feature, you no longer have to be concerned about lost keys or doors left open. 

All you need is an ADT home security system, a Google Nest doorbell camera, a compatible smart lock, and the ADT+ app that allows everything to function as one. Here’s how to set it up: 

1. You assign access to a trusted individual, like a relative or neighbor, through the ADT+ app.
2. Then, you define permissions. You can assign neighbors timed access, permitting them to enter and depart during a particular timeframe, or event-based admittance. For example, if a delivery arrives, the system can unlock the door to let your neighbor take it indoors once it authenticates them.
3. When you’ve configured access, your Google Nest Doorbell camera employs familiar face detection to validate your neighbor when they approach the door.
4. Your ADT system will pause the alarm and release the door lock when the approachee is authenticated as an approved user.
5. You receive instant alerts as your family member, friend, or neighbor comes and goes. The app also supplies a complete history. 
6. Once the trusted neighbor departs, your smart door lock secures automatically to protect your home.

You can provide access for any individual you want, such as a maintenance worker, dog walker, or a friend who comes over when you’re away. This feature is also useful during urgent events, particularly when you’re off site. For instance, if a water sensor trips, your system can grant event-driven access so someone can turn off the water supply. The intuitive app makes setting permissions simple.
