What Is The ADT Trusted Neighbor Feature?

ADT’s Trusted Neighbor™ tool brings the age-old practice of giving a neighbor a key to your house into the technological age. It eliminates the need for physical keys or passcodes and permits you to control who can access your Corpus Christi home and for how long. Learn more about how to incorporate it with your ADT home security system and Google Nest cameras. 

How Does ADT Trusted Neighbor Work?

You have neighbors you trust to get your mail, take your dog out, or water your plants when you go out of town. Before, you would simply supply them with a house key. You now have a better option. Thanks to ADT's Trusted Neighbor Feature, you won’t have to worry about doors left unsecure or lost keys. 

What you’ll need is an ADT home security system, a Google Nest video doorbell, a compatible smart lock, and the ADT+ app that brings it all together. 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 define permissions. You can give neighbors timed access, allowing them to come and go during specific hours, or event-based entry. For example, if a package arrives, the system can release the door to let them bring it inside once it authenticates them.
  3. Once you’ve configured access, your Google Nest Doorbell uses familiar face detection to validate your neighbor when they proceed toward the door.
  4. Your ADT security system will disarm and unlock the door when the individual is verified as a permitted visitor.
  5. You get immediate alerts as your family member, friend, or neighbor enters and exits. The app also provides a complete history. 
  6. After the trusted neighbor departs, your smart door lock secures independently to safeguard your home.

You can authorize access for anyone you wish, such as a dog walker, a maintenance worker, or a partner who comes over when you’re away. This service is also helpful during emergencies, specifically when you’re away. To illustrate, if a water sensor triggers, your system can authorize event-driven access so an individual can enter and switch off the water supply. Setting permissions is easy with the intuitive app. 

Enhance Your Corpus Christi Home’s Convenience And Security

ADT Trusted Neighbor is a terrific example of how ADT makes life easier and your Corpus Christi home more adaptable and secure. This tool isn’t only for neighbors and friends, as you’ll appreciate the facial recognition and auto-unlock functionality when you have your hands full of little ones or packages. After you're inside, the door automatically fastens behind you.
