ADT’s Trusted Neighbor™ tool modernizes the custom of providing a neighbor a key to your home. It does away with the necessity of actual keys or passcodes and lets you control who can access your Baltimore 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 have neighbors you trust to watch your pets, retrieve your mail, or tend to 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. Thanks to ADT's Trusted Neighbor Feature, you no longer have to fret over doors left open or lost keys. 

What you need is an ADT security system, a Google Nest doorbell, a compatible smart 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, via the ADT+ app.
2. Next, you set permissions. You can assign neighbors timed access, allowing them to enter and depart during specific hours, or event-based admittance. For instance, if a package arrives, the system can unlock the door to allow your neighbor to bring it in once it authenticates them.
3. Once you’ve programmed access, your Google Nest Doorbell camera with familiar face detection recognizes your neighbor as they proceed toward the door.
4. Your ADT security system will disarm and unlock the door when the individual is confirmed as a permitted user.
5. You are sent immediate alerts as your friend, neighbor, or family member enters and departs. The app also supplies a complete log. 
6. After the trusted neighbor leaves, your smart door lock automatically secures to shield your home.

You may authorize access for anyone you wish, such as a dog walker, a maintenance worker, or a friend who arrives when you’re out. This tool is also beneficial during emergencies, particularly when you’re not around. For instance, if a water sensor triggers, your system can provide event-driven access so a neighbor can turn off the water supply. Configuring permissions is straightforward with the user-friendly app. 

Make Your Baltimore Home More Secure, Convenient, And Connected

ADT Trusted Neighbor is an excellent example of how ADT makes life easier and your Baltimore home more versatile and secure. This service isn’t just for neighbors and friends, as you’ll appreciate the facial recognition and auto-unlock operability when you’re carrying kids or deliveries. After you're inside, the door secures behind you automatically.
