ADT’s Trusted Neighbor™ feature brings the common practice of supplying a neighbor your house key into the modern age. It does away with the necessity of physical keys or passcodes and lets you manage who can access your Rockford home and for how long. Find out 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 tend to your plants, collect your mail, or take your dog out when you go out of town. In the past, you would simply supply them with a key to your home. You now have a better option. Because of the innovative ADT Trusted Neighbor Feature, you’ll never have to be concerned about doors left open or missing keys. 

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

1. You assign access to a trusted individual, like a relative or neighbor, via the ADT+ app.
2. Following that, you set permissions. You can provide neighbors with timed access, allowing them to come and go during specific hours, or event-based admittance. For instance, if a box shows up, the system can release the door to let your neighbor move it in once it verifies them.
3. Once you’ve set up access, your Google Nest Doorbell with familiar face capability identifies your neighbor as they approach the door.
4. Your ADT security system will deactivate the alarm and release the door lock when the person is authenticated as an authorized user.
5. You get immediate alerts as your neighbor enters and exits. The app also supplies a detailed log. 
6. After the trusted neighbor exits, your smart door lock secures independently to safeguard your home.

You can authorize access for any individual you wish, such as a housesitter, a service technician, or a companion who comes over when you’re away. This service is also useful during emergencies, specifically when you’re not around. To illustrate, if a water sensor trips, your system can provide event-driven access so someone can switch off the water supply. The intuitive app makes programming permissions easy.

ADT Trusted Neighbor is a perfect example of how ADT makes life easier and your Rockford home more versatile and secure.

When you're inside, the door automatically fastens behind you.
