Popular home security brand RING announced that videos shared from its devices can now be verified, so customers know they’re watching a real, unedited video. Ring says the new verification process is similar to a security seal on a package or bottle of medicine, indicating that no one has tampered with it.
Ring now offers a website to check if a video has been changed.
The new feature will be available starting Thursday, and it doesn’t matter which Ring device is recording the video. All videos downloaded directly from the Ring app are automatically verified and have a security seal for authenticity.

If someone sends you a Ring video, you can now visit The Ring verification pagepaste the video link, and find out immediately if the video is verified. The website does not send your video anywhere. It remains local to your device, and all verification checks take place within your browser. The verification website only accepts MP4 files, the Ring format videos are saved.
Videos downloaded before December 2025 or edited videos cannot be verified. Ring says that even minor adjustments, such as shaving a few seconds from the beginning or end of a video, or even adjusting the brightness level, will make it unverifiable.
