ADT’s Trusted Neighbor™ service brings the tradition of supplying a neighbor a key to your house into the modern age. It does away with the requirement for physical keys or passcodes and lets you control who can go in your Columbia home and for what timeframe. Find out more about how to incorporate it with your ADT home security system and Google Nest cameras. 

How Does ADT Trusted Neighbor Work?

You likely have neighbors you trust to feed your pets, collect your mail, or tend to your plants when you leave home. In the past, you would just provide them a key to your home. There’s now a better way. Thanks to the innovative ADT Trusted Neighbor Feature, you no longer have to fret over doors left unlocked or misplaced keys. 

All you need is an ADT security system, a Google Nest doorbell camera, a an automated door lock, and the ADT+ app that brings it all together. Here’s how to set it up: 

1. You assign access to a trusted person, like a relative or neighbor, with the ADT+ app.
2. Following that, you set permissions. You can assign neighbors timed access, permitting them to come and go during specific hours, or event-based admittance. For example, if a delivery shows up, the system can unlock the door to allow your neighbor to move it indoors once it authenticates them.
3. When you’ve set up access, your Google Nest Doorbell camera utilizes familiar face detection to verify your neighbor when they proceed toward the door.
4. Your ADT home security will pause the alarm and release the door lock when the person is verified as a permitted guest.
5. You are sent instant alerts as your friend, neighbor, or family member enters and exits. The app also supplies a detailed log. 
6. Once the trusted neighbor leaves, your smart door lock secures automatically to shield your home.

You can authorize access for any individual you wish, such as a housesitter, a service technician, or a partner who arrives when you’re not there. This service is also useful during urgent events, particularly when you’re not around. For example, if a water sensor goes off, your system can authorize event-driven access so a neighbor can shut off the water supply. Setting permissions is straightforward with the helpful app. 

Make Your Columbia Home More Secure, Convenient, And Connected

ADT Trusted Neighbor is a perfect example of how ADT makes your Columbia home more connected and secure while streamlining your daily life. This service isn’t just for neighbors and friends, as you’ll appreciate the face recognition and auto-unlock operability when you’re wrangling children or carrying in sacks of groceries. After you're inside, the door automatically secures behind you.
