What Is The ADT Trusted Neighbor Feature?
ADT’s Trusted Neighbor™ service brings the common practice of supplying a neighbor your house key into the technological age. It does away with the necessity of actual keys or access codes and allows you to manage who has access to your Blacksburg home and for how long. Learn more about how it works with your ADT home security system and Google Nest surveillance.
How Does ADT Trusted Neighbor Work?
You probably have neighbors you trust to water your plants, get your mail, or exercise your dog when you leave town. Typically, you would just provide them a house key. There’s now a better way. Thanks to ADT's Trusted Neighbor Feature, you won’t have to fret over misplaced keys or doors left unlocked.
What you’ll 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 to set it up:
- You give access to a trusted individual, like a neighbor or close friend, via the ADT+ app.
- Then, you set permissions. You can assign neighbors timed access, allowing them to come and go during specific hours, or event-based entry. To illustrate, if a box shows up, the system can unfasten the door to allow your neighbor to move it inside once it validates them.
- After you’ve set up access, your Google Nest Doorbell camera uses familiar face detection to validate your neighbor when they proceed toward the door.
- Your ADT home security will pause the alarm and release the door lock when the approachee is confirmed as a permitted guest.
- You are sent instant updates as your neighbor comes and goes. The app also offers a complete history.
- Once the trusted neighbor departs, your smart door lock secures automatically to protect your home.
You are able to grant access for any individual you want, such as a housesitter, a maintenance worker, or a companion who comes over when you’re not there. This feature is also useful during emergencies, especially when you’re away. For instance, if a water sensor goes off, your system can grant event-driven access so a neighbor can shut off the water. The handy app makes programming permissions straightforward.
Make Your Blacksburg Home More Secure, Convenient, And Connected
ADT Trusted Neighbor is an excellent example of how ADT makes your Blacksburg home more connected and secure while streamlining your daily life. This feature isn’t only for neighbors and guests, as you’ll appreciate the face recognition and auto-unlock operability when you’re carrying children or groceries. Once you're inside, the door locks behind you automatically.
