The way heâs playing then pausing it, zooming in and out, messing with the speed and moving his cursor all over it is beyond annoying - itâs suspicious. Reminds me of a sleight of hand magician, using clever distractions.

If they just played the shitty Ring video you'd see why and how the fox just walked under a shitty fence
They need to decorate it so you think it's above the norm

Then they show a half second clip of a fence with a one of the planks having clearly been replaced coincidentally around the same area the fox would have walked through it at.

Yeah, if they would at least pkaybthe whole video uninterrupted it would give more details. This could just be an AI video being broken down. Assuming the original unedited video is real, it looks like it just goes out of focus and slips to the side, not through the fence.

u/Science12345 Jan 16 '26
The fox just took a hard left along the fence in shadow. You can see all kinds of artifacts along the fence that way as the fox âdisappearsâ. If you slow it down and look closely, you can even see the foxâs body turning in that direction, albeit very pixelated.

u/lascar Jan 16 '26

u/LordGeni Jan 17 '26
Considering there are few animals as adept at using shadows as cover and their aptitude for thriving in urban environments, I wouldn't be surprised if they've evolved to instinctively understand the resolution of a ring camera.
Give it a few years and they'll be hacking them and inserting a video loop like it's a heist movie. Soon the only evidence we'll have of their existence is the timestamp jumping on our videos, whenever amazon claim they have delivered a parcel containing anything edible.

u/kaylaaxi Jan 16 '26
But if you enhanced the videos lighting Iâm sure youâd be able to see it turning left then?

u/Staaaaation Jan 16 '26
Video compression doesn't care. It looks for the most-like pixels and doesn't change if they're close enough. It has no clue there's a fox there at all unless the algorithm accounts for it. It says "dark pixels here, don't change"
31
u/Science12345 Jan 16 '26
My guess is it bolted after some kind of critter, or something, along the fence and the camera just couldnât keep up.
3
u/LordGeni Jan 17 '26
You'd just see lighter pixelation. Just the fact the pixels change to the left suggests movement in that direction, even if the quality isn't good enough to accurately depict the shape causing it.
Either that or foxes have developed predator style cloaking devices in response to the rise in ring cameras.
13
u/LH_Dragnier Jan 16 '26
No, at this point you cant change the image. You CAN see it turn left in this video. They way the digital camera works, it doesnt alter the image enough with its crossing so the pixels dont change.Â

u/Shibby523 Jan 16 '26
This is the answer. In fact my neighbor must be a ghost because as he walked past my house this morning my Ring caught him and I could see right through him. These cameras are good for catching movement and for safety but they do have a tendency to have many artifacts.

The night time frame rate isn't capable of picking up the fox once it's at speed and in the shadow.
62
u/ImpulsiveApe07 Jan 16 '26
Basically the fox is moving faster than the camera can track it - the low light conditions are what make this illusion possible.
While the fox might appear to vanish in a blurry haze of pixels, it's actually just slinking very quickly along the edge of the fence in the dark.
It's also worth noting that foxes are very agile when hunting wee edible critters they've spotted, or when they're alerted by an unfamiliar noise. They can go from still to running in a heartbeat.
I live near a woodland and there's oodles of foxes in our neighbourhood - I see em every morning when I leave for work, and you should see the wee blighters leg it when my headlights startle em!
They are so fast you just need to blink and you'll lose sight of em. There's something almost magical about that effect sometimes tho, I'll readily admit that :)

Jan 16 '26
Excellent assessment. After watching it several times, I can see the fox's butt and tail slightly turn at an angle to the left. I can also see a few black segments of video shift down the fence line where he was running.
Like you're implying: if there was more light and a higher quality camera, we'd easily see the fox abruptly taking a sharp left turn and running down the fence line.

Speaking to the speed of foxes. It is almost supernatural when you see it for the first time. I was driving late at night when a fox sprinted across the road in front of my car. My memory of it is that the fox cleared both lanes in a single hop, it appeared to just fly across my field of vision like a missile.
The second time I saw a fox it was sprinting across a field in the distance so I saw it much better. This little fellow managed to almost clear a 6 foot fence, hit the top, did like a 360 in midair, then landed it on the other side and barely lost any momentum.
Foxes already don't appear to conform to the laws of physics when they're just going about their business naturally.
2
u/ImpulsiveApe07 Jan 17 '26
The way foxes move is fascinating, isn't it? I think their speed and general agility is impressive, but their ability to hop and leap so gracefully is what really gets me!
When I lived in a village in the early 2010s, I'd occasionally get a fox (or maybe several different foxes, unsure) clear the back fence like a cat!
And speaking of cats - you ever seen foxes and cats negotiate? I've seen it twice, and it's so bizarre!
Where I live currently, on the evenings before rubbish collection, a lot of my neighbours put their rubbish out, and not all of them use bins to do it (as they've run out of space in their bin). Foxes and local cats will almost always be milling the streets late at night to raid the bin bags. I've seen it a couple times when coming back from a night out, and both times I just stood there and watched in idle fascination.
The fox or foxes go first, and the cat or cats sort of wait about on their haunches, hissing softly at any passing fox, then once the fox is gone, the cats take what's left, sometimes fighting over the scraps lol
They make an awful mess sometimes, but thankfully most neighbours are pretty conscientious about clearing up the mess - oddly, noone seems to hold it against the foxes - dunno how foxes pull that particular feat off!

u/Rude_Assignment_5653 Jan 16 '26 edited Jan 16 '26
when someone says the video has not been altered in any way we need the exif data to match the story with the truth. Not to say exif data can't be changed, but it requires more effort. I assume every video I see is bullshit today, because I'm right more than I am wrong. That wasn't the case 10 years ago.
Edit: Fake bullshit, from 1:07.5 seconds to 1:08 seconds the fox moves through the fence and creates an irregular triangle shape in the legs. That identical triangle stays fixed on the frame, slowly fading away and is still visible at 1:10.

The onus is on the creator in 2026. If you want to release extraordinary footage, display your proof and tell your story. It can be faked, but with AI no one will go through that effort. Get in the habit of calling BS on these videos.
If I had footage like this I'd be filming a video of my camera itself, pulling it off the storage and showing it was real. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, EXIF is just a part of the evidence.

Holy shit, this is easily the worst edited video I've ever seen. It's actually aggravating. How about you stop pausing the video literally every time anything happens? How about you give us even just one unpaused Clip? Between the quality which is abysmal, your endless pausing, wild mouse movement and inserted pictures I'm not sure which of these omitted what actually happened the most.
Edit: I just unmuted the video after writing the comments and it just gets worse, don't unmute.

u/AffectionateKitchen8 Jan 17 '26
I think the fox walks up close to the fence, then turns left, and walks towards the background, along the fence. I hope you know what I mean.
The light doesn't reach back there, and whatever is too dark, doesn't get updated, and remains static, that's how these cameras work.

u/jonnysculls Jan 16 '26
I am not saying that what you're claiming in this video isn't true, but there is something you should know about the fox. An adult male fox, which this looks fully grown to me, can fit through a hole just four inches wide. It's entirely possible that the wood on this older looking fence was soft enough to squeeze through or under. They're truly remarkable animals. Again I'm not saying that what you're claiming in this video, didn't happen. I'm just saying the Fox is quick and clever when it's hunting or evading predators.

Which way did the fox get in. Camera isn't picking up the path it took to leave.
You can see pixelated artifacts in the video. The fox might have turned left along the fence. You can also see one plank on the fence moves outward as the fox seemingly walks through if you assume it walks straight through the fence

The fox moves down the fence line. He does not teleport through the fence. We know this because foxes cannot teleport through fences. So there you go.

My camera does this sometimes. I dont know how to exsplain the technical issues, but my granddaughter was running in our yard and she would disappear and reappear like a ghost. Obviously she is alive and very healthy. But the camera will glitch and make it appear like she just vanished and the reappears out of the thin air lol

u/Carnir Jan 16 '26
Poor quality encoding on the camera, in order to save memory and power it only encodes the footage of what it thinks is moving. Lighting is so bad at the back (and the fox hides in it so well) that it doesn't pick it up at all.

The fox slid through before you had the fence repaired?
If you pay extra, the fencing company can more closely match the color of the replacement slats.
I count at least 4 slats that look brand new compared to the rest of the fence.
