What Is The ADT Trusted Neighbor Feature?
ADT’s Trusted Neighbor™ service brings the age-old practice of providing a neighbor a key to your house into the digital age. It removes the necessity of physical keys or keypad codes and allows you to manage who can go in your Buffalo home and for what timeframe. Learn more about how you can implement it with your ADT home security system and Google Nest doorbell camera.
How Does ADT Trusted Neighbor Work?
You likely have neighbors you trust to get your mail, walk your dog, or water your plants when you leave town. In the past, you would simply supply them with a key to your house. There’s now a better way. Thanks to ADT's Trusted Neighbor Feature, you won’t have to fret over missing keys or doors left unlocked.
What you’ll need is an ADT home security system, a Google Nest doorbell camera, a compatible smart lock, and the ADT+ app that brings everything together. Here’s how the service works:
- You grant access to a trusted individual, like a close friend or neighbor, with the ADT+ app.
- Then, you define permissions. You can assign neighbors timed access, allowing them to enter and exit during a particular timeframe, or event-based entry. For example, if a delivery is delivered, the system can release the door to let your neighbor move it inside once it validates them.
- Once you’ve programmed access, your Google Nest Doorbell employs familiar face detection to confirm your neighbor as they come near the door.
- Your ADT security system will deactivate the alarm and release the door lock when the person is confirmed as an approved user.
- You are sent instant alerts as your friend, neighbor, or family member enters and departs. The app also supplies a detailed log.
- Once the trusted neighbor leaves, your smart door lock secures automatically to protect your home.
You may grant access for any individual you wish, such as a service technician, animal sitter, or a partner who comes over when you’re away. This feature is also useful during emergencies, especially when you’re not around. For instance, if a water sensor trips, your system can provide event-driven access so an individual can enter and shut off the water supply. Configuring permissions is straightforward with the intuitive app.
Make Your Buffalo Home More Secure, Convenient, And Connected
ADT Trusted Neighbor is an excellent example of how ADT makes life easier and your Buffalo home smarter and more secure. This service isn’t only for neighbors and friends, as you’ll benefit from the facial recognition and auto-unlock capability when you’re carrying children or packages. When you're inside, the door locks behind you automatically.
