# Authenticate Verkada Video Footage

Verkada Verify is a feature that supports your organization’s efforts to verify the integrity of security footage downloaded from Verkada Command. This feature allows anyone who has been sent a Verkada video archive, including non-Verkada users, to quickly check whether the archived clip could have been tampered with. Some ways our customers may use Verify include sharing video with law enforcement, attorneys, and others who manage video security evidence.\
​

Verkada Verify can be accessed at [command.verkada.com/verify](http://command.verkada.com/verify). No login or software downloads required.
