ADT’s Trusted Neighbor™ service brings the age-old practice of giving a neighbor your house key into the technological age. It does away with the requirement for physical keys or passcodes and permits you to control who has access to your Flint 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 probably have neighbors you trust to retrieve your mail, walk your dog, or water your plants when you leave town. Before, you would just provide them a key to your home. There’s a better way to do it now. Because of the innovative ADT Trusted Neighbor Feature, you no longer have to be concerned about doors left unlocked or missing keys. 

All you need is an ADT security system, a Google Nest doorbell camera, a an automated door lock, and the ADT+ app that permits everything to function together. Here’s how the service works: 

1. You assign access to a trusted individual, like a neighbor or family member, through the ADT+ app.
2. Following that, you set permissions. You can give neighbors timed access, letting them enter and depart during specific hours, or event-based access. To illustrate, if a delivery shows up, the system can unlock the door to let your neighbor bring it in once it validates them.
3. Once you’ve configured access, your Google Nest Doorbell uses familiar face detection to validate your neighbor as they approach the door.
4. Your ADT security system will deactivate the alarm and release the door lock when the approachee is authenticated as an approved guest.
5. You receive real-time alerts as your friend, neighbor, or family member comes and goes. The app also supplies a complete log. 
6. After the trusted neighbor exits, your smart door lock automatically secures to shield your home.

You are able to provide access for anyone you want, such as a pet sitter, a repair person, or a partner who shows up when you’re away. This tool is also helpful during emergencies, especially when you’re not around. For example, if a water sensor trips, your system can grant event-driven access so someone can turn off the water supply. The handy app makes programming permissions easy. 

Make Your Flint Home More Secure, Convenient, And Connected

This service isn’t only for neighbors and guests, as you’ll benefit from the facial recognition and auto-unlock operability when you’re carrying little ones or deliveries. Once you're inside, the door automatically secures behind you.
