ADT’s new security system has facial recognition powered by Google Nest

ADT’s new smart security system will use facial recognition to let your trusted neighbors in when you’re away.

The ADT app will notify you about these events, and if you’re not comfortable with automatic access, you can choose to initiate the automation manually, according to Tamblyn. Tamblyn said smart locks will allow inputting a code to both unlock the door and disarm the system as an alternative to facial recognition. If you’re on a beach in Bali and get an alert that there’s a water leak in your laundry room or a package on your porch, you could text your neighbor, unlock your smart lock in the app, and disable the security system to let them in (or give them the codes so they can do it themselves).
