Ring Video Authenticity: Stop Fakes Now!

Ring has launched a new feature called Ring Verify, aimed at making it significantly harder to fake or manipulate video footage from its devices.

This feature functions like a tamper-evident seal on a medicine bottle. Any alteration to a Ring video, including cropping or brightness adjustments, will cause this seal to break, alerting viewers to potential tampering. The company stated that this verification will be automatically active on all videos recorded by Ring devices starting from December 2025.

Ring explained that a broken verification seal does not definitively mean a video is fake, but rather indicates it has been altered. This could be for legitimate reasons like improving visibility or simply due to the video being recorded before the feature's activation date. Recipients of a video with a failed verification can request the original unedited version for clarity, which could be useful for insurance claims.
