Dropcam customers have received an email this week informing them that in order to avail of upcoming features for their home-monitoring systems, they will need to create a Nest account.

Customers are going to have to accept new terms of service and a privacy statement when signing up for their Nest accounts as well. This is the first move for the companies to integrate their products since Nest acquired Dropcam last year.
