Ring can now verify if a video has been altered

Ring has launched a new tool that can tell you whether or not a video clip captured by its camera has been altered. The company says that every video downloaded from Ring starting in December 2025 will come with a digital security seal. “Think of it like the tamper-evident seal on a medicine bottle,” he explains. Its new tool, called Ring Verify, can tell you if a video has been altered in any way. Even adjusting the brightness of a video clip or reducing it by a few seconds will break this seal and the tool will tell you that it cannot be verified. All you need to do is visit the tool’s webpage and download the video you want to check.

In the age of AI, you can also use the tool to make sure you’re watching a real Ring video instead of something generated by artificial intelligence models. OpenAI’s Sora, for example, can easily create Ring video doorbell images with just a prompt or two, leading to many fake security camera images on social media apps. The company suggests asking the camera owner to share videos directly from the Ring app to ensure they aren’t edited. It doesn’t matter which camera it is: all of the company’s models now embed digital security seals on videos downloaded and shared from Ring’s cloud storage. However, the tool can only tell you if a video has been doctored or cannot be verified at all. It can’t tell you what was changed or if it was AI-generated.
