Nest Cams, speakers and hubs are still selling strong, but Google is leaving its DIY security system behind permanently
Google quietly discontinued its Nest Secure last week, officially removing its home security system from the Google Store. Current Nest owners won’t be affected, but new DIY home security shoppers will have to turn elsewhere. While Google has assured that current Nest Secure owners won’t lose access to any functionality, it confirmed that this isn’t temporary: Google will no longer sell Nest Secure packages moving forward, according to a statement sent to Android Police. Nest Secure was a well-reviewed DIY home security package that included a Nest Guard hub with an alarm, motion sensor and keypad; a key fob for instant disarming; and Nest Detect sensors for alerting if doors or windows are opened, all for a pricey $399 in the US. The individual components are also out of stock on the Google Store. The Nest security brand isn’t dead yet. You can still buy Nest Cam Outdoor, Nest Cam Indoor and Nest Hello video doorbells, and have them professionally monitored with a Nest Aware subscription.
