Video Evidence Notarized, Explicitly Timestamped, Independently Attested Network

Video evidence anyone can verify.

VENETIAN seals every clip at the moment of capture and lets every side keep its own record. Anyone can check the footage with a free, standard tool, without trusting us or anyone else.

The Problem

Video is easy to alter, and the side holding it is the one asked to vouch for it.

36%

of U.S. consumers would consider digitally altering a claim image or document.

99%

of insurers say they have encountered manipulated or AI-altered documentation.

Police video

The agency that records the footage also stores it and vouches for it in court. The defense has no independent record of its own.

Source: Verisk, State of Insurance Fraud study, March 2026 (surveys of 1,000 U.S. consumers and 300 claims professionals).

Nobody has to trust anybody.

Every party keeps its own record of every clip. If one byte changes, or one record disagrees, everyone can see it.

How It Works

Seal, witness, verify.

1

Seal at capture

The moment a clip arrives from the drone or camera, VENETIAN computes its unique digital fingerprint (SHA-256).

2

Witness

The fingerprint, size, time and sequence number go to independent witnesses, such as the insurer, the police, the prosecutor and the defense. The video itself never leaves.

3

Verify

Anyone recomputes the fingerprint with the free sha256sum tool. A match proves the file is untouched. A mismatch shows exactly where trust broke.

Why It’s Different

Independent records, not a vendor’s promise.

Who It’s For

Works alongside the systems you already use.

Insurance

Carriers, managing general agents, adjusting firms and drone-inspection providers who need claim photos and video they can stand behind, in the claims file and in court.

Law Enforcement and Courts

Drone and body-camera programs, district attorneys and the defense bar. Footage stays in the agency’s existing evidence system; VENETIAN holds fingerprints only.

Progress

A working system, with protection filed.

Done

  • Working proof of concept: 12 automated tamper tests passed (November 2026)
  • Automatic video intake, with no manual steps per clip
  • U.S. provisional patent filed November 12, 2026

Next

  • Free 60-day pilots with insurers and a county sheriff’s drone program
  • Independent security audit (SOC 2)
  • Zero-knowledge proofs that a redacted public release came from the sealed original
