ADT’s Trusted Neighbor™ tool modernizes the tradition of providing a neighbor your house key. It removes the need for physical keys or access codes and lets you manage who can access your Appleton home and for what timeframe. Discover more about how to incorporate it with your ADT home security system and Google Nest surveillance. 

How Does ADT Trusted Neighbor Work?

You have neighbors you trust to feed your plants, retrieve your mail, or take your dog out when you leave home. Typically, you would just supply them with a key to your house. There’s now a better way. Thanks to ADT's Trusted Neighbor Feature, you’ll never have to worry about doors left unsecure or missing keys. 

All you need is an ADT security system, a Google Nest doorbell, a smart door lock, and the ADT+ app that lets everything function together. Here’s how it works: 

1. You assign access to a trusted person, like a neighbor or family member, via the ADT+ app.
2. Next, you set permissions. You can give neighbors timed access, allowing them to come and go during a particular timeframe, or event-based admittance. To illustrate, if a delivery arrives, the system can unfasten the door to allow your neighbor to bring it in once it verifies them.
3. Once you’ve configured access, your Google Nest Doorbell employs familiar face detection to validate your neighbor as they proceed toward the door.
4. Your ADT system will deactivate the alarm and release the door lock when the approachee is authenticated as an authorized user.
5. You are sent real-time updates as your neighbor enters and exits. The app also supplies a complete log. 
6. When the trusted neighbor exits, your smart door lock secures automatically to protect your home.

You are able to grant access for any person you want, such as a pet sitter, a service technician, or a friend who shows up when you’re out. This tool is also useful during urgent situations, particularly when you’re off site. For instance, if a water sensor triggers, your system can provide event-driven access so a neighbor can turn off the water supply. The user-friendly app makes configuring permissions simple.

ADT Trusted Neighbor is a terrific example of how ADT makes your Appleton home more connected and secure while streamlining your daily life.

After you're inside, the door locks behind you automatically.
