Google Reminds Users Date Its Security Solutions Would Cease Working
Are you aware when Dropcam and Dropcam Pro camera, as well as Nest Secure home security system from the stable of technology giant Google, would cease working in the United States of America (USA)?
The company says it is April 8, and it has given a final warning to the effect.
“About a year ago we announced that support for Dropcam, Dropcam Pro, and Nest Secure will end on April 8, 2024.
“Since then, we’ve reached out to impacted users through a series of email communications and in-app messages to help prepare for this transition, and to provide special offers based on eligibility,” said Google.
“As we look at what it takes to support your home security needs going forward, it has become increasingly challenging to continue to update these products given the outdated hardware. So we made the difficult decision to stop support for Dropcam and Dropcam Pro starting April 8, 2024,” G.
The Dropcam and Dropcam Pro were launched in 2012 and 2013 respectively.
