4.7 Authenticating Recorded Video
VIGIL Server embeds a security key in recorded footage for each video frame. These keys can be easily checked to ver-
ify that the footage is authentic and has not been tampered with.
Begins the authentication process; a window opens displaying the progress. Depending on the length and
location of the video footage, Authentication may take several minutes to complete. You can cancel the
authentication at any time by clicking Cancel. Any frames that were processed prior to cancelling have
been authenticated. If the video is authentic, the Authentication Complete message will be displayed.
If the video has been tampered with, the authentication will halt at
the first damaged frame and provide an error message with the prob-
lem frame number.
If Real-Time Authentication (in VIGIL Server Settings | Search
tab) is enabled, during playback a large red X is displayed over
the frame if the footage does not pass authentication.
