Nowadays, what you see and hear isn't always the truth. Video editing technology has developed rapidly, creating realistic images that can be altered with just a few clicks. The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) has made it even easier to fake videos.
Understanding this, Ajax Systems has developed a secure video export feature, allowing users to verify video integrity in seconds through digital signatures.
Why is it necessary to export secure videos?
Video editing is so easy these days that anyone can add, delete, or change frames to create a story different from reality. Therefore, ensuring that a video hasn't been edited is extremely important in the following situations:
🔹 Evidence for investigators – When police need video for investigation, the video must be proven to be unedited in order to be used as legal evidence.
🔹 Comply with data protection laws – such as GDPR (Europe) or HIPAA (USA), which require businesses to protect data and prevent unauthorized modification.
🔹 Meets industry security standards – The international standard BS EN 62676-1-1 requires video surveillance systems to have a method for verifying the authenticity of data.
To meet these requirements, Ajax has developed a secure video export feature, helping users protect their video data and detect any signs of editing.
How does Ajax's secure video export feature work?
This feature allows downloading video from Ajax-enabled surveillance devices with digital signatures.
🔹 What is a digital signature?
Similar to a handwritten signature on a contract, a digital signature on a video helps verify whether the video has been edited. If the video has been cut or edited, the digital signature will be altered, indicating that the video is no longer intact.
🔹 Can Ajax's digital signature be forged?
That's not possible. Videos exported from Ajax devices always have a unique digital signature, while videos from other devices cannot have an Ajax signature.
How to check video integrity
Users can export videos in two ways:
✅ Via Ajax Cloud ( for regular users)
Export videos up to 15 minutes long and save them to the cloud.
✅ Direct export (for experts – PRO users)
Export up to 24 hours of video directly to your device, no need to upload to the cloud.
🔹 How does exporting videos securely differ from regular video export methods?
When uploading videos, users can choose to export securely (with a digital signature) or normally (without a digital signature).
👉 To verify the digital signature, users need to play the video using an Ajax media player.
Ajax Media Player: Video Tester
Ajax media player is a software specifically designed to verify digital signatures on videos.
🔹 How it works: When playing a video, the software automatically checks the digital signature and displays the result:
✅ Verified – Video has not been edited.
❌ Altered – The video has been edited after downloading.
🔹 Other features:
In addition to verifying digital signatures, the software also displays the original video information (device ID, resolution, duration, etc.) and supports fast forward, slow motion, zoom in, and screenshot capture.
🔹 Which operating systems are supported?
Windows & macOS
Only .mp4 videos can be played from Ajax Cloud or the Ajax app.
Video from external devices is not supported without an Ajax digital signature.
Conditions for using secure video output.
This feature only applies to video from cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), and Ajax doorbells with the following firmware version:
✔ NVR: 2,244 or more
✔ Camera: 2,309 or higher
✔ Doorbell: 2,228 or more
