ADT’s Trusted Neighbor™ feature modernizes the practice of providing a neighbor a key to your home. It does away with the requirement for physical keys or passcodes and permits you to control who can access your Fort Wayne home and for what timeframe. Learn more about how it works with your ADT home security system and Google Nest doorbell camera. 

How Does ADT Trusted Neighbor Work?

You probably have neighbors you trust to watch your pets, get your mail, or water your plants when you go out of town. Typically, you would simply provide them a key to your house. You now have a better option. Thanks to ADT's Trusted Neighbor Feature, you no longer have to be concerned about misplaced keys or doors left unsecure. 

All you need is an ADT home security system, a Google Nest doorbell camera, a compatible smart lock, and the ADT+ app that brings it all together. Here’s how it works: 

1. You grant access to a trusted person, like a close friend or neighbor, via the ADT+ app.
2. Following that, you configure permissions. You can provide neighbors with timed access, allowing them to enter and depart during a particular timeframe, or event-based admittance. For instance, if a package shows up, the system can unfasten the door to let your neighbor take it in once it validates them.
3. When you’ve set up access, your Google Nest Doorbell employs familiar face detection to confirm your neighbor when they come near the door.
4. Your ADT system will pause the alarm and unlock the door when the approachee is confirmed as an authorized visitor.
5. You are sent instant updates as your friend, neighbor, or family member enters and departs. The app also offers a complete history. 
6. When the trusted neighbor leaves, your smart door lock automatically secures to protect your home.

You are able to grant access for any individual you want, such as a repair person, dog walker, or a partner who shows up when you’re not there. This tool is also useful during emergencies, particularly when you’re away. For example, if a water sensor triggers, your system can authorize event-driven access so an individual can enter and switch off the water. The intuitive app makes configuring permissions easy. 

Make Your Fort Wayne Home More Secure, Convenient, And Connected

ADT Trusted Neighbor is an excellent example of how ADT makes your Fort Wayne home more versatile and secure while streamlining your daily life. This tool isn’t only for neighbors and relatives, as you’ll enjoy the facial recognition and auto-unlock operability when you’re carrying children or groceries. When you're inside, the door secures behind you automatically.
