Front doors can unlock automatically while home security systems disarm when the system recognizes a familiar face from the Google Nest Doorbell and confirms the homeowner's phone location. ADT Plus powers the hands-free Auto Unlock experience using dual-factor authentication to trigger automatic disarming and unlocking. The system includes a base, sensors, and accessories, reducing friction compared with keys or keypad codes. Deep integration with Google Home, Nest cameras, and smart displays follows Google's $450 million investment and provides a Google-blessed replacement for Nest Secure. Automated unlocking and easier operation increase the likelihood that homeowners will activate and consistently use their security systems.
"My front door unlocks automatically as I walk up to it, and the home security system disarms itself - no code or app required. The system has recognized me using the Google Nest Doorbell's Familiar Faces, and confirmed I'm me using my phone's location. The dual-factor authentication triggers the automatic disarming and unlocking, so all I have to do is walk inside."
"ADT Plus launched last summer and is a ground-up rebuild of the 150-year-old company's home security offering. Developed in partnership with Google following its $450 million investment in the company, ADT Plus hinges on a deep integration with Google Home, including Google Nest cameras and smart displays. It is also the Google-blessed replacement for Nest Secure, the excellent DIY security system Google shut down in 2024. (The ADT Self-Setup product that was briefly offered as a replacement has been discontinued.)"
