What Is The ADT Trusted Neighbor Feature?
ADT’s Trusted Neighbor™ tool brings the age-old practice of supplying a neighbor a key to your home into the modern age. It eliminates the necessity of actual keys or keypad codes and permits you to control who has access to your Kingsport home and for how long. Discover more about how it works with your ADT home security system and Google Nest cameras.
How Does ADT Trusted Neighbor Work?
You likely have neighbors you trust to watch your pets, retrieve your mail, or tend to your plants when you leave town. Before, you would simply supply them with a house key. There’s a better way to do it now. Thanks to the innovative ADT Trusted Neighbor Feature, you won’t have to worry about doors left unlocked or missing keys.
What you’ll need is an ADT home security system, a Google Nest doorbell, a smart door 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, through the ADT+ app.
- Following that, you set permissions. You can assign neighbors timed access, letting them enter and exit during a designated timeframe, or event-based access. For example, if a delivery is delivered, the system can release the door to let them take it indoors once it authenticates them.
- When you’ve configured access, your Google Nest Doorbell uses familiar face detection to validate your neighbor as they come near the door.
- Your ADT home security will disarm and unlock the door when the individual is authenticated as a permitted guest.
- You are sent instant updates as your neighbor comes and goes. The app also offers a detailed log.
- After the trusted neighbor exits, your smart door lock secures independently to shield your home.
You are able to authorize access for anyone you want, such as a pet sitter, a repair person, or a partner who shows up when you’re not there. This tool is also helpful during urgent events, particularly when you’re away. For example, if a water sensor trips, your system can provide event-driven access so someone can turn off the water. The intuitive app makes programming permissions easy.
Improve Your Kingsport Home’s Convenience And Security
ADT Trusted Neighbor is a perfect example of how ADT makes your Kingsport home more connected and secure while simplifying your daily life. This feature isn’t only for neighbors and friends, as you’ll benefit from the face recognition and auto-unlock functionality when you have your hands full of little ones or deliveries. After you're inside, the door automatically secures behind you.
