To soften the blow, Google’s offering a free indoor wired Nest Cam to Dropcam owners who subscribe to Nest Aware. Nonsubscribers will get a 50 percent-off coupon. The promotion runs until May 7, 2024, so you can keep using your Dropcam until it stops working.

Still sucks, but it’s better than having a paperweight in your hands. Also note:

Google will ship you a prepaid recycling box if you ask.

I’ve been thinking about writing my own security cam software that would let you use any WebDAV provider and just a Raspberry Pi with a camera. I’ve gotten better at packaging stuff for Docker. All the big company security cameras have huge drawbacks.

The only problem with my thing would be weather proofing. I don’t know of any waterproof Raspberry Pi case that can take a camera. :(
