What Is The ADT Trusted Neighbor Feature?
ADT’s Trusted Neighbor™ tool brings the tradition of providing a neighbor a key to your house into the digital age. It eliminates the requirement for physical keys or keypad codes and lets you control who can go in your Albany home and for what duration. Learn more about how you can implement it with your ADT home security system and Google Nest cameras.
How Does ADT Trusted Neighbor Work?
You probably have neighbors you trust to tend to your plants, retrieve your mail, or walk your dog when you leave town. Typically, 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 won’t have to be concerned about doors left open or missing keys.
What you need is an ADT home security system, a Google Nest doorbell, a smart door lock, and the ADT+ app that brings it all together. Here’s how to set it up:
- You grant access to a trusted individual, like a neighbor or close friend, through the ADT+ app.
- Following that, you set 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 your neighbor move it inside once it authenticates them.
- After you’ve configured access, your Google Nest Doorbell employs familiar face detection to validate your neighbor as they approach the door.
- Your ADT security system will disarm and deactivate the lock when the person is verified as a permitted visitor.
- You get immediate notifications as your family member, friend, or neighbor enters and exits. The app also provides a detailed log.
- After the trusted neighbor departs, your smart door lock secures automatically to protect your home.
You can authorize access for any individual you wish, such as a repair person, dog walker, or a friend who shows up when you’re not there. This feature is also helpful during urgent situations, particularly when you’re away. To illustrate, if a water sensor trips, your system can grant event-driven access so an individual can enter and switch off the water. The intuitive app makes setting permissions easy.
