What Is The ADT Trusted Neighbor Feature?

ADT’s Trusted Neighbor™ tool modernizes the custom of providing a neighbor a key to your house. It does away with the necessity of actual keys or passcodes and allows you to oversee who can access your Topeka home and for what timeframe. Learn more about how you can implement it with your ADT home security system and Google Nest cameras. 

How Does ADT Trusted Neighbor Work?

You have neighbors you trust to watch your pets, retrieve your mail, or water your plants when you leave home. Typically, you would just give them a key to your house. You now have a better option. Because of the innovative ADT Trusted Neighbor Feature, you’ll never have to fret over doors left unlocked or lost keys. 

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

  1. You grant access to a trusted person, like a neighbor or relative, via the ADT+ app.
  2. Then, you configure permissions. You can provide neighbors with timed access, allowing them to enter and depart during a particular timeframe, or event-based admittance. To illustrate, if a package is delivered, the system can unlock the door to let your neighbor move it in once it validates them.
  3. After you’ve configured access, your Google Nest Doorbell camera uses familiar face detection to validate your neighbor as they proceed toward the door.
  4. Your ADT home security will disarm and release the door lock when the individual is verified as a permitted guest.
  5. You get instant alerts as your family member, friend, or neighbor enters and departs. The app also supplies a complete history. 
  6. After the trusted neighbor departs, your smart door lock secures automatically to protect your home.

You can grant access for any individual you want, such as a housesitter, a service technician, or a friend who shows up when you’re not there. This tool is also beneficial during urgent events, particularly when you’re off site. For example, if a water sensor goes off, your system can grant event-driven access so someone can switch off the water supply. Setting permissions is simple with the helpful app. 

Make Your Topeka Home More Secure, Convenient, And Connected

ADT Trusted Neighbor is a perfect example of how ADT makes your Topeka home more connected and secure while simplifying your daily life. This tool isn’t just for neighbors and guests, as you’ll enjoy the face recognition and auto-unlock functionality when you’re carrying kids or deliveries.
