What Is The ADT Trusted Neighbor Feature?
ADT’s Trusted Neighbor™ tool brings the common practice of providing a neighbor your house key into the digital age. It does away with the need for actual keys or passcodes and lets you manage who has access to your Houston home and for what duration. Learn more about how to incorporate it with your ADT home security system and Google Nest cameras.
How Does ADT Trusted Neighbor Work?
You have neighbors you trust to retrieve your mail, exercise your dog, or tend to your plants when you leave home. In the past, you would just supply them with a key to your house. You now have a better option. Thanks to ADT's Trusted Neighbor Feature, you no longer have to fret over lost keys or doors left unsecure.
What you’ll need is an ADT home security system, a Google Nest doorbell, a smart door lock, and the ADT+ app that brings it all together. Here’s how the service works:
- You assign access to a trusted individual, like a family member or neighbor, via the ADT+ app.
- Next, you define permissions. You can give neighbors timed access, permitting them to enter and exit during a particular timeframe, or event-based access. For instance, if a delivery arrives, the system can unlock the door to let them take it in once it validates them.
- When you’ve set up access, your Google Nest Doorbell camera employs familiar face detection to validate your neighbor when they approach the door.
- Your ADT home security will deactivate the alarm and deactivate the lock when the approachee is confirmed as an approved visitor.
- You get instant notifications as your friend, neighbor, or family member enters and exits. The app also supplies a detailed log.
- When the trusted neighbor exits, your smart door lock secures independently to protect your home.
You are able to provide access for any individual you would like, such as a repair person, animal sitter, or a companion who arrives when you’re out. This feature is also beneficial during emergencies, particularly when you’re off site. To illustrate, if a water sensor triggers, your system can provide event-driven access so a neighbor can shut off the water supply. The user-friendly app makes programming permissions straightforward.
Make Your Houston Home More Secure, Convenient, And Connected
ADT Trusted Neighbor is an excellent example of how ADT makes your Houston home more versatile and secure while streamlining your daily life. This tool isn’t only for neighbors and friends, as you’ll appreciate the facial recognition and auto-unlock capability when you’re wrangling children or carrying in bags of groceries. After you're inside, the door automatically fastens behind you.
