Ring is adding a new content verification feature to videos | TechCrunch
"The company says this could be useful when you come across shared videos, like those sent to you by a neighbor or those purporting to show some sort of incident. While you may not be able to instantly identify whether some TikTok video was AI-generated - like bunnies jumping on a trampoline, for instance - you will be alerted to any changes to a Ring video that someone has shared with you directly."
"The verification feature will be automatically enabled on every video recorded with a Ring device from December 2025 onward, the company notes. Any changes or edits, including cropping and filters, will break that verification seal. Ring says this includes videos uploaded to sharing sites that compress footage. Failing verification doesn't necessarily mean the video is fake. It's just a signal that it has been altered. Maybe someone boosted the brightness for visibility, or it could mean the video was recorded before December 2025."
Ring Verify will embed tamper-evident verification on Ring cloud videos so recipients can detect any edits or alterations. The verification is automatically enabled for all videos recorded with Ring devices starting December 2025. Any modification — trimming, cropping, filters, brightness adjustments, or compression by sharing sites — will break the verification seal. A failed verification signals alteration but does not prove fabrication; recipients can request the unedited original if needed for purposes like insurance claims. Verification applies to all cloud-shared downloads regardless of device. Videos recorded with end-to-end encryption are incompatible and will display as 'not verified.'
