What Is The ADT Trusted Neighbor Feature?

ADT’s Trusted Neighbor™ service modernizes the custom of providing a neighbor a key to your house. It does away with the necessity of actual keys or keypad codes and allows you to oversee who has access to your Wichita Falls home and for what timeframe. Discover 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 retrieve your mail, walk your dog, or water your plants when you leave home. Typically, you would simply provide them a house key. There’s now a better way. Thanks to the innovative ADT Trusted Neighbor Feature, you no longer have to worry about lost keys or doors left unsecure. 

What you need is an ADT security system, a Google Nest video doorbell, a compatible smart lock, and the ADT+ app that lets everything function as one. Here’s how to set it up: 

  1. You grant access to a trusted person, like a family member or neighbor, with the ADT+ app.
  2. Then, you configure permissions. You can give neighbors timed access, allowing them to enter and depart during a designated timeframe, or event-based admittance. To illustrate, if a package arrives, the system can unlock the door to let your neighbor move it inside once it validates them.
  3. Once you’ve set up access, your Google Nest Doorbell with familiar face detection verifies your neighbor when they proceed toward the door.
  4. Your ADT home security will disarm and release the door lock when the person is verified as an authorized user.
  5. You receive real-time updates as your family member, friend, or neighbor enters and departs. The app also offers a detailed log. 
  6. When the trusted neighbor exits, your smart door lock secures automatically to protect your home.

You may authorize access for any individual you would like, such as a housesitter, a repair person, or a partner who shows up when you’re away. This tool is also helpful during urgent events, particularly when you’re not around. For example, if a water sensor goes off, your system can authorize event-driven access so someone can shut off the water supply. The user-friendly app makes programming permissions easy. 

Make Your Wichita Falls Home More Secure, Convenient, And Connected

ADT Trusted Neighbor is an excellent example of how ADT makes your Wichita Falls home more connected and secure while streamlining your daily life. This service isn’t just for neighbors and guests, as you’ll benefit from the face recognition and auto-unlock functionality when you’re wrangling little ones or hauling in bags of groceries. After you're inside, the door automatically locks behind you.
