How RealCapture Works.

A layered verification methodology that combines how evidence is captured with what the evidence contains — designed for security leaders, claims teams and technical buyers alike.

Eight layers

Each layer adds evidence. None stands alone.

  1. 01

    Secure, incident-based verification requests

    Every verification starts with an incident. RealCapture issues a unique, time-limited link bound to that incident, so evidence is captured in context and can't be casually reused across cases.

  2. 02

    Browser-based live capture

    Recipients open the link in their mobile browser and capture directly through the camera — no app install, no account. Uploading files from a gallery is not part of the flow.

  3. 03

    Randomized motion and visual challenges

    Each session receives unpredictable instructions — tilt, pan, move closer. Because challenges are generated at capture time, prerecorded footage becomes much harder to pass off.

  4. 04

    Device sensor and media synchronization

    Where the device exposes them, motion sensors are recorded alongside the video. RealCapture compares the physical movement with the visual movement in the frames.

  5. 05

    Image and video forensic analysis

    Forensic models look for indicators of editing, compositing, and synthetic generation — compression inconsistencies, lighting irregularities, and generation artifacts.

  6. 06

    Replay and manipulation detection

    Submissions are compared against signals of screen re-capture and against previously submitted evidence to surface suspicious similarities.

  7. 07

    Authenticity assessment and findings

    Signals are combined into a score from 0 to 100 with supporting findings that explain which indicators contributed — so reviewers can make informed decisions.

  8. 08

    Company dashboard and API integration

    Teams review incidents in a dashboard or receive results programmatically via REST API and webhooks, governed by company-level policies and roles.

Sensor fusion

Physical motion, matched to what the camera sees.

When a phone moves, its gyroscope and accelerometer record that movement. The frames should move the same way. RealCapture compares the two streams to check whether the capture behaves like a real, live recording.

Output

An assessment, not a verdict.

RealCapture's assessment is based on the evidence and signals available for each capture. It is designed to support human decision-making — it does not guarantee that content represents a real event.
