Attention Dropcam and Dropcam Pro users and owners of Nest Secure home security systems, an important update is coming your way. Google, the technology company behind the products, is issuing a final reminder that these security solutions will be discontinued on April 8.
“One year ago, we announced that support for Dropcam, Dropcam Pro, and Nest Secure would end on April 8, 2024. Since then, we’ve reached out to affected users via email and in-app messages to help them.”Prepare for this transition and offer special offers based on eligibility,” Google said.
“As we assess what is needed to keep your home safe, aging equipment makes it difficult to continually update products. We have therefore made the difficult decision to end support for Dropcam and Dropcam Pro as of April 8, 2024,” the company added.
Dropcam and Dropcam Pro were released in 2012 and 2013, respectively. As of April 8, users will no longer be able to connect these cameras to the Nest app. Also, users will not be able to record videos after the above date. However, after April 8, users will be able to access their video history.
Also, disabling it will affect the security of Nest Secure. Eligible users must receive an email offering a self-service system from ADT (up to $475) or $200 for use in the Google Store. The offer is valid until May 7, 2024.
