What Is The ADT Trusted Neighbor Feature?

ADT’s Trusted Neighbor™ tool brings the tradition of giving a neighbor a key to your house into the modern age. It eliminates the necessity of physical keys or access codes and allows you to manage who can access your West Lafayette home and for how long. 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 have neighbors you trust to collect your mail, take your dog out, or tend to your plants when you go out of town. Before, you would just supply them with a key to your home. You now have a better option. Thanks to the innovative ADT Trusted Neighbor Feature, you no longer have to fret over doors left open or lost keys. 

What you’ll need is an ADT home security system, a Google Nest video doorbell, a smart door lock, and the ADT+ app that lets everything function in unison. Here’s how the service works: 

  1. You assign access to a trusted individual, like a neighbor or close friend, through the ADT+ app.
  2. Following that, you configure permissions. You can give neighbors timed access, permitting them to enter and depart during a designated timeframe, or event-based entry. To illustrate, if a box is delivered, the system can release the door to allow your neighbor to move it in once it verifies them.
  3. When you’ve set up access, your Google Nest Doorbell utilizes familiar face detection to validate your neighbor as they proceed toward the door.
  4. Your ADT system will pause the alarm and unlock the door when the person is authenticated as a permitted visitor.
  5. You get instant alerts as your friend, neighbor, or family member enters and exits. The app also provides a complete history. 
  6. After the trusted neighbor leaves, your smart door lock secures independently to safeguard your home.

You are able to provide access for any individual you wish, such as a pet sitter, a repair person, or a companion who shows up when you’re not there. This feature is also beneficial during urgent events, particularly when you’re away. For instance, if a water sensor trips, your system can provide event-driven access so someone can switch off the water supply. The intuitive app makes programming permissions easy. 

Make Your West Lafayette Home More Secure, Convenient, And Connected

ADT Trusted Neighbor is an excellent example of how ADT makes life easier and your West Lafayette home more versatile and secure. This service isn’t only for neighbors and relatives, as you’ll enjoy the facial recognition and auto-unlock functionality when you’re carrying kids or packages. When you're inside, the door automatically locks behind you.
