ADT’s Trusted Neighbor™ feature brings the age-old practice of giving a neighbor a key to your house into the technological age. It does away with the need for actual keys or access codes and permits you to manage who can go in your Harrisburg home and for how long. Discover more about how to incorporate it with your ADT home security system and Google Nest cameras. 

How Does ADT Trusted Neighbor Work?

You likely have neighbors you trust to walk your dog, collect your mail, or water your plants when you leave town. Typically, you would just provide them a key to your house. There’s now a better way. Thanks to ADT's Trusted Neighbor Feature, you’ll never have to be concerned about missing keys or doors left unlocked. 

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

1. You grant access to a trusted person, like a family member or neighbor, with the ADT+ app.
2. Next, you configure permissions. You can assign neighbors timed access, allowing them to come and go during specific hours, or event-based admittance. For example, if a box is delivered, the system can release the door to allow your neighbor to take it inside once it verifies them.
3. When you’ve programmed access, your Google Nest Doorbell employs familiar face detection to confirm your neighbor when they proceed toward the door.
4. Your ADT security system will pause the alarm and unlock the door when the person is verified as an authorized guest.
5. You receive immediate updates as your family member, friend, or neighbor enters and departs. The app also provides a detailed log. 
6. When the trusted neighbor exits, your smart door lock automatically secures to safeguard your home.

You may authorize access for anyone you want, such as a dog walker, a service technician, or a companion who comes over when you’re out. This tool is also useful during urgent events, particularly when you’re away. For instance, if a water sensor trips, your system can authorize event-driven access so someone can switch off the water. Configuring permissions is simple with the user-friendly app. 

Make Your Harrisburg Home More Secure, Convenient, And Connected

ADT Trusted Neighbor is an excellent example of how ADT makes your Harrisburg home more secure and connected while simplifying your daily life. This tool isn’t just for neighbors and guests, as you’ll benefit from the facial recognition and auto-unlock operability when you’re carrying children or deliveries. When you're inside, the door secures behind you automatically.
