ADT’s Trusted Neighbor™ feature modernizes the practice of providing a neighbor your house key. It does away with the need for actual keys or passcodes and lets you oversee who can go in your Santa Clarita home and for what duration. Find out more about how to incorporate it with your ADT home security system and Google Nest cameras. 

How Does ADT Trusted Neighbor Work?

You have neighbors you trust to collect your mail, exercise your dog, or water your plants when you leave home. Typically, you would simply give them a key to your house. There’s a better way to do it now. Thanks to ADT's Trusted Neighbor Feature, you’ll never have to worry about doors left unlocked or missing keys. 

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

1. You grant access to a trusted individual, like a close friend or neighbor, through the ADT+ app.
2. Next, you define permissions. You can assign neighbors timed access, permitting them to enter and exit during a designated timeframe, or event-based admittance. For instance, if a box shows up, the system can release the door to let your neighbor move it in once it verifies them.
3. When you’ve set up access, your Google Nest Doorbell employs familiar face detection to validate your neighbor as they proceed toward the door.
4. Your ADT security system will deactivate the alarm and deactivate the lock when the individual is confirmed as an authorized guest.
5. You are sent instant updates as your friend, neighbor, or family member comes and goes. The app also supplies a detailed log. 
6. Once the trusted neighbor departs, your smart door lock secures independently to safeguard your home.

You are able to provide access for any person you would like, such as a maintenance worker, animal sitter, or a companion who arrives when you’re out. This service is also useful during urgent situations, particularly when you’re away. For example, if a water sensor trips, your system can provide event-driven access so a neighbor can turn off the water supply. Configuring permissions is simple with the intuitive app. 

Make Your Santa Clarita Home More Secure, Convenient, And Connected

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