What Is The ADT Trusted Neighbor Feature?

ADT’s Trusted Neighbor™ tool modernizes the practice of giving a neighbor a key to your house. It removes the requirement for physical keys or access codes and allows you to control who has access to your Spokane home and for how long. Find out more about how it works with your ADT home security system and Google Nest doorbell camera. 

How Does ADT Trusted Neighbor Work?

You probably have neighbors you trust to collect your mail, exercise your dog, or tend to your plants when you leave home. Typically, you would just give them a key to your home. There’s now a better way. Thanks to the innovative ADT Trusted Neighbor Feature, you’ll never have to worry about lost keys or doors left open. 

All you need is an ADT security system, a Google Nest video doorbell, a an automated door lock, and the ADT+ app that allows everything to function in unison. Here’s how the service works: 

  1. You grant access to a trusted individual, like a neighbor or family member, with the ADT+ app.
  2. Following that, you configure permissions. You can give neighbors timed access, letting them come and go during a particular timeframe, or event-based admittance. To illustrate, if a package is delivered, the system can unfasten the door to let your neighbor move it indoors once it validates them.
  3. Once you’ve set up access, your Google Nest Doorbell utilizes familiar face detection to confirm your neighbor when they come near the door.
  4. Your ADT home security will deactivate the alarm and unlock the door when the individual is verified as a permitted visitor.
  5. You receive instant notifications as your friend, neighbor, or family member comes and goes. The app also provides a complete history. 
  6. After the trusted neighbor exits, your smart door lock automatically secures to shield your home.

You may provide access for any individual you wish, such as a housesitter, a maintenance worker, or a companion who shows up when you’re not there. This tool is also beneficial during emergencies, particularly when you’re not around. To illustrate, if a water sensor goes off, your system can grant event-driven access so someone can shut off the water. The intuitive app makes configuring permissions easy. 

Boost Your Spokane Home’s Convenience And Security

ADT Trusted Neighbor is a terrific example of how ADT makes your Spokane home more versatile and secure while streamlining your daily life. This feature isn’t just for neighbors and friends, as you’ll appreciate the face recognition and auto-unlock capability when you’re wrangling children or hauling in loads of groceries. Once you're inside, the door automatically fastens behind you.
