Google to shut Dropcam and Nest Secure in 2024

Google has announced that it will discontinue its home security system, Nest Secure and the Dropcam, its indoor security camera starting April 8, 2024. 

According to Google, the decision to discontinue the products was made as part of its effort to streamline its product line and focus on its more popular products. However, the company has assured users that it will continue to support these products with security updates and software patches.

Google created Works with Nest in 2014, an initiative that allowed third-party devices to connect and work seamlessly with Nest products, creating a more integrated smart home experience. 

In 2019, the company eventually decided to retire the programme but extended the support for the last few years. “We extended the support for Works with Nest for the last few years, and we will officially end Works with Nest as of September 29, 2023. Until that date, all current Works with Nest connections will remain active,” Google said.

Moreover, Google is also winding down the last few legacy “Works with Nest” programme starting September 29.
