ADT’s Trusted Neighbor™ service brings the common practice of providing a neighbor a key to your house into the modern age. It does away with the need for physical keys or passcodes and permits you to manage who has access to your Medford home and for how long. Learn 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, retrieve your mail, or walk your dog when you go out of town. Typically, you would simply provide them a key to your home. There’s now a better way. Because of the innovative ADT Trusted Neighbor Feature, you won’t have to be concerned about doors left unsecure or missing keys. 

All you need is an ADT security system, a Google Nest video doorbell, a compatible smart lock, and the ADT+ app that permits everything to function in unison. Here’s how the service works: 

1. You assign access to a trusted individual, like a neighbor or relative, with the ADT+ app.
2. Following that, you set permissions. You can provide neighbors with timed access, letting them enter and depart during a designated timeframe, or event-based entry. To illustrate, if a delivery is delivered, the system can release the door to let your neighbor move it in once it authenticates them.
3. After you’ve set up access, your Google Nest Doorbell camera with familiar face capability recognizes your neighbor when they approach the door.
4. Your ADT security system will pause the alarm and deactivate the lock when the person is authenticated as an approved user.
5. You are sent real-time alerts as your family member, friend, or neighbor enters and exits. The app also supplies a detailed log. 
6. Once the trusted neighbor leaves, your smart door lock secures automatically to protect your home.

You may authorize access for anyone you would like, such as a dog walker, a service technician, or a partner who shows up when you’re not there. This feature is also useful during urgent situations, particularly when you’re off site. For instance, if a water sensor goes off, your system can authorize event-driven access so an individual can enter and shut off the water. The handy app makes setting permissions easy.

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