What Is The ADT Trusted Neighbor Feature?
ADT’s Trusted Neighbor™ service brings the common practice of supplying a neighbor a key to your house into the digital age. It does away with the requirement for actual keys or passcodes and lets you manage who has access to your West Bloomfield home and for how long. Discover more about how to incorporate it with your ADT home security system and Google Nest surveillance.
How Does ADT Trusted Neighbor Work?
You likely have neighbors you trust to feed your plants, retrieve your mail, or take your dog out when you go out of town. In the past, you would simply give them a key to your house. You now have a better option. Because of the innovative ADT Trusted Neighbor Feature, you won’t have to worry about lost 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 brings it all together. Here’s how it works:
- You give access to a trusted person, like a neighbor or relative, via the ADT+ app.
- Next, you configure permissions. You can give neighbors timed access, letting them come and go during specific hours, or event-based entry. To illustrate, if a delivery arrives, the system can unlock the door to let them bring it indoors once it verifies them.
- Once you’ve configured access, your Google Nest Doorbell with familiar face functionality verifies your neighbor as they come near the door.
- Your ADT system will pause the alarm and unlock the door when the approachee is verified as a permitted guest.
- You receive real-time alerts as your family member, friend, or neighbor comes and goes. The app also provides a complete history.
- Once the trusted neighbor departs, your smart door lock secures automatically to shield your home.
You can grant access for any person you would like, such as a service technician, animal sitter, or a partner who arrives when you’re away. This tool is also useful during urgent situations, particularly when you’re not around. For example, if a water sensor triggers, your system can grant event-driven access so someone can switch off the water supply. The handy app makes programming permissions straightforward.

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