What Is The ADT Trusted Neighbor Feature?
ADT’s Trusted Neighbor™ tool modernizes the custom of providing a neighbor your house key. It does away with the necessity of physical keys or access codes and allows you to oversee who can access your Cedar Rapids home and for what timeframe. Find out more about how it works with your ADT home security system and Google Nest doorbell camera.
How Does ADT Trusted Neighbor Work?
You have neighbors you trust to retrieve your mail, exercise your dog, or feed your plants when you leave home. In the past, you would just give them a key to your home. You now have a better option. Because of the innovative ADT Trusted Neighbor Feature, you’ll never have to worry about misplaced keys or doors left open.
What you’ll need is an ADT security system, a Google Nest video doorbell, a compatible smart lock, and the ADT+ app that allows everything to function together. Here’s how to set it up:
- You give access to a trusted person, like a neighbor or close friend, through the ADT+ app.
- Next, you configure permissions. You can provide neighbors with timed access, letting them enter and exit during a particular timeframe, or event-based entry. For example, if a delivery arrives, the system can unlock the door to allow your neighbor to take it indoors once it verifies them.
- After you’ve programmed access, your Google Nest Doorbell uses familiar face detection to confirm your neighbor when they approach the door.
- Your ADT home security will pause the alarm and deactivate the lock when the individual is confirmed as a permitted guest.
- You get real-time notifications as your family member, friend, or neighbor enters and departs. The app also provides a complete history.
- Once the trusted neighbor departs, your smart door lock secures automatically to safeguard your home.
You may authorize access for any person you want, such as a repair person, animal sitter, or a companion who shows up when you’re not there. This service is also useful during urgent events, specifically when you’re off site. For example, if a water sensor goes off, your system can provide event-driven access so someone can switch off the water. The intuitive app makes setting permissions straightforward.

Once you're inside, the door automatically secures behind you.
