Ring, a smart home device company owned by Amazon, has unveiled a new security feature designed to help users easily verify if the footage from its security cameras has been altered. Named Ring Verify, this feature places a “digital security seal” on every video downloaded from Ring, enabling viewers to confirm its authenticity.
Ring describes the feature as similar to a “tamper-evident seal on a medicine bottle,” aimed at helping users determine if the footage has been modified in any way. The system detects not only AI-assisted manipulations but also simpler edits such as trimming a few seconds, cropping, or brightness adjustments.
Whether you’re reviewing footage from a neighbor, investigating a claim, or confirming the legitimacy of a shared video, you can now verify if it’s authentic Ring footage that hasn’t been tampered with, the company explained.
Ring Verify works on all videos downloaded from December 2025 onward, regardless of which Ring device recorded them. The feature is active by default, and users can submit the video link to the Ring Verify microsite to check for modifications. Unchanged videos will receive a “verified” label, while any altered footage after download will be marked as “not verified.”
It’s important to note that Ring states its verification system can only confirm whether a video has been edited, not specify what changes were made. Additionally, videos recorded with end-to-end encryption cannot be verified and will be labeled as “not verified.”
As AI-driven video editing tools become more accessible, the importance of authenticating security footage has grown for homeowners, insurers, and law enforcement alike. Ring’s digital security seal provides a simple way to confirm whether security videos are genuine or have been altered.
