About a year after Google announced that it would soon be dropping support for the Dropcam and Dropcam Pro cameras as well as the Nest Secure alarm system, the company has issued one final reminder. On April 8, 2024, all three devices will stop working.
If you own a Nest Secure, it will no longer be accessible in the Nest app starting April 8. Google emailed eligible Nest Secure owners an offer for a free Self Setup System from ADT (up to $485 value) or $200 for the Google Store. The offer can be redeemed until May 7, 2024, so be sure to search your inbox if you think you might have missed the email.
As for the Dropcam and Dropcam Pro, both cameras will stop working on April 8. You also won’t be able to manage them from the Nest app, and no new video history will be recorded. They will basically become paperweights once Google drops support.
Similar to the Nest Secure, Google sent eligible Dropcam owners an offer towards a Nest Cam last year. That offer is also available until May 7, 2024.

You’ll also have a very limited amount of time to download your Dropcam or Dropcam Pro video history before it’s gone for good. If you want to learn how to create and download clips from your Dropcam, visit this support page on Google’s website.
