ADT’s Trusted Neighbor™ tool brings the tradition of providing a neighbor a key to your home into the digital age. It eliminates the need for physical keys or access codes and lets you oversee who can go in your Ann Arbor home and for how long. Learn more about how it works with your ADT home security system and Google Nest doorbell camera. 

How Does ADT Trusted Neighbor Work?

You likely have neighbors you trust to collect your mail, exercise your dog, or water your plants when you go out of town. Typically, you would just provide them a key to your house. There’s a better way to do it now. Because of the innovative ADT Trusted Neighbor Feature, you no longer have to fret over doors left unlocked or missing keys. 

What you’ll need is an ADT home security system, a Google Nest video doorbell, a smart door lock, and the ADT+ app that brings everything together. Here’s how the service works: 

1. You assign access to a trusted person, like a relative or neighbor, with the ADT+ app.
2. Following that, you define permissions. You can provide neighbors with timed access, letting them enter and exit during a particular timeframe, or event-based admittance. To illustrate, if a package arrives, the system can unlock the door to let them bring it in once it verifies them.
3. When you’ve programmed access, your Google Nest Doorbell camera with familiar face functionality recognizes your neighbor when they proceed toward the door.
4. Your ADT security system will deactivate the alarm and unlock the door when the person is authenticated as an authorized user.
5. You receive immediate notifications as your neighbor comes and goes. The app also provides a complete history. 
6. Once the trusted neighbor exits, your smart door lock automatically secures to shield your home.

You are able to authorize access for any individual you want, such as a dog walker, a service technician, or a friend who shows up when you’re out. This service is also helpful during urgent events, particularly when you’re not around. To illustrate, if a water sensor trips, your system can authorize event-driven access so a neighbor can turn off the water supply. The user-friendly app makes setting permissions simple. 

Make Your Ann Arbor Home More Secure, Convenient, And Connected

ADT Trusted Neighbor is a perfect example of how ADT makes your Ann Arbor home more versatile and secure while streamlining your daily life. This service isn’t just for neighbors and guests, as you’ll benefit from the facial recognition and auto-unlock capability when you’re wrangling children or hauling in sacks of groceries. After you're inside, the door locks behind you automatically.
