What to know before you remove a product
After it's removed from your account, your Nest Protect will still sound an alarm if it detects specified levels of smoke or carbon monoxide. However, some features will be limited:
-
You won't get notifications from the Nest Protect when there's an alarm.
-
You'll no longer be able to view the last reported status of the Nest Protect in the Nest app.
-
You won't be able to change settings.
-
Your Protect will no longer receive software updates.
If you later add your Protect to the app again, you'll first need to perform a factory reset.
Important: Don't unplug your camera until the light ring is pulsing blue after the removal is complete. If you unplug your camera before that, you'll need to reset it to get it working again. To learn more, go to Restart or factory reset Nest camera or doorbell.
-
If you remove a camera from your account, it'll permanently delete all that camera's recorded Video History.
-
You can cancel the Nest Aware subscription for your camera even if you've already removed your camera from your account.
After it's removed from your account in the Nest app, your Nest × Yale Lock will still be able to lock and unlock your door, but only using passcodes previously set up with your account. You can also use the thumb turn inside your home.
