Dropcam Introduces Legacy Camera Replacement Program

More often than not, companies will not do too much on your behalf once they have announced that they intend to drop support for a particular device. Of course, there will be a letter or a statement that ferries the rather melancholic feeling across, but other than those sappy words, you would most probably be directed to purchase the latest devices or range from said company. Dropcam takes a different route, however, with this Google-owned (or rather, Nest-owned, depending on how you look at things) company, despite dropping support for its original home security camera as well as the Echo this coming April 15th, will still go ahead with a replacement program that will net you a free Dropcam HD – should you happen to own one of the legacy models.

Of course, you as a customer will need to do your bit as well, where you need to switch over to a spanking new subscription plan should you want the cam to be useful enough when it comes to cloud video recording, but otherwise, there aren’t too many strings attached to it. Dropcam will, of course, maintain its legacy service for free at least until the cutoff date, and refund the difference should you have paid for a yearly plan. At least this removes some of the financial inconvenience that arises from switching to newer technology.
