Ring has launched a new Ring Verify tool that “enables you to verify that the Ring videos you receive have not been edited or altered.” However, Ring does not verify modified videos, so AnywayIt’s probably impossible to verify the videos you see on TikTok, which look like surveillance camera footage but are actually created by AI.
All videos downloaded from Ring’s cloud now include a “digital security seal,” Ring says. To check if a video is real, visit the Ring Verify website, select the video from your device, and upload it. If Ring Verify shows a video as “verified,” that means the video has not been modified in any way since it was downloaded from Ring. (Ring Verify is built on C2PA standards, according to spokesperson Kaleigh Bueckert-Orme.)
If you make any changes to the video, including small changes such as tweaking the brightness, the video will fail the test. Ring cannot verify “videos that were downloaded before this feature launched in December 2025, or that were edited, cropped, filtered, or modified in any way after download (including cropping seconds, adjusting brightness, or cropping)” or “videos that were uploaded to video sharing sites that compress the video.” Videos recorded with end-to-end encryption turned on cannot be verified either.
If Ring can’t verify that the video is real, it also can’t tell you exactly what has been changed in the video. “Ring verification only makes sure that the video has not been modified in any way since it was downloaded,” Ring says. If you want the original version of the video, Ring suggests asking the person you shared the video with to share a link from the Ring app.
