What Is The ADT Trusted Neighbor Feature?

ADT’s Trusted Neighbor™ service modernizes the practice of giving a neighbor your house key. It removes the need for physical keys or keypad codes and permits you to oversee who has access to your Trenton home and for what duration. Learn more about how to incorporate it with your ADT home security system and Google Nest cameras. 

How Does ADT Trusted Neighbor Work?

You likely have neighbors you trust to walk your dog, retrieve your mail, or tend to your plants when you leave home. In the past, you would just provide them a key to your house. There’s a better way to do it now. Thanks to ADT's Trusted Neighbor Feature, you’ll never have to worry about doors left open or lost keys. 

All you need is an ADT home security system, a Google Nest doorbell, a an automated door lock, and the ADT+ app that brings it all together. Here’s how it works: 

  1. You give access to a trusted individual, like a family member or neighbor, via the ADT+ app.
  2. Next, you configure permissions. You can provide neighbors with timed access, allowing them to enter and exit during a particular timeframe, or event-based entry. For instance, if a delivery arrives, the system can unfasten the door to let your neighbor move it in once it validates them.
  3. After you’ve programmed access, your Google Nest Doorbell camera utilizes familiar face detection to validate your neighbor as they come near the door.
  4. Your ADT system will deactivate the alarm and unlock the door when the person is authenticated as an authorized user.
  5. You receive immediate alerts as your neighbor enters and departs. The app also offers a detailed log. 
  6. Once the trusted neighbor leaves, your smart door lock secures independently to protect your home.

You may provide access for any person you wish, such as a maintenance worker, pet sitter, or a companion who shows up when you’re not there. This tool is also useful during emergencies, especially when you’re away. For instance, if a water sensor trips, your system can grant event-driven access so someone can shut off the water supply. Programming permissions is easy with the intuitive app.
