ADT’s Trusted Neighbor™ service modernizes the practice of giving a neighbor your house key. It removes the need for physical keys or access codes and lets you control who can access your Oakland home and for what duration. Learn more about how it works with your ADT home security system and Google Nest surveillance. 

How Does ADT Trusted Neighbor Work?

You have neighbors you trust to feed your plants, collect your mail, or take your dog out when you go out of town. In the past, you would just provide them a key to your home. You now have a better option. Because of the innovative ADT Trusted Neighbor Feature, you won’t have to fret over misplaced keys or doors left open. 

All you need is an ADT home security system, a Google Nest video doorbell, a smart door lock, and the ADT+ app that lets everything function in unison. Here’s how to set it up: 

1. You grant access to a trusted individual, like a relative or neighbor, with the ADT+ app.
2. Next, you define permissions. You can assign neighbors timed access, letting them come and go during a designated timeframe, or event-based access. To illustrate, if a delivery shows up, the system can unfasten the door to allow your neighbor to move it in once it authenticates them.
3. When you’ve set up access, your Google Nest Doorbell camera with familiar face functionality recognizes your neighbor when they come near the door.
4. Your ADT home security will pause the alarm and deactivate the lock when the approachee is verified as an approved visitor.
5. You receive instant notifications as your family member, friend, or neighbor comes and goes. The app also offers a detailed log. 
6. When the trusted neighbor departs, your smart door lock secures automatically to protect your home.

You may authorize access for any individual you wish, such as a pet sitter, a repair person, or a companion who comes over when you’re not there. This service is also useful during urgent situations, specifically when you’re away. For example, if a water sensor goes off, your system can authorize event-driven access so an individual can enter and switch off the water. The handy app makes configuring permissions easy. 

Make Your Oakland Home More Secure, Convenient, And Connected

ADT Trusted Neighbor is a perfect example of how ADT makes your Oakland home more secure and connected while simplifying your daily life. This tool isn’t just for neighbors and friends, as you’ll benefit from the face recognition and auto-unlock functionality when you’re carrying children or packages. Once you're inside, the door automatically fastens behind you.
