FireBrick Call Recording: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

=Overview=

The FireBrick supports call recording by teeing off the two way audio from a call leg and sending to a SIP endpoint. The SIP endpoint will then record the call and handle it in any way you wish.

Line 52:

Line 50:

to whatever email address you want to the recordings to be sent from. (%c is the unique ID of the call recording)

(As of ~~9th~~ August 2018, this has been replaced in voip-answer.c with "sip:%s%.*s", so no modification is necessary.)

* ~~8000Hz~~ sample rate

* mono only

You can easily use Audacity to create suitable files; just remember to set the sample rate to ~~8000Hz~~, and to set the track to mono only, first.

If, when you play the files back through ''voip-answer'', they sound distorted, chances are you have either got the sample rate wrong, or else accidentally recorded them in stereo.

If you have a recording at a different sample rate, using Audacity, change the project's sample rate to 8000, then change the recording's sample rate to 8000, and then use the "Change Speed" effect on the recording — if the original rate was ~~44100Hz~~, apply a speed multiple of 5.50.

=Pre-call announcements (e.g. "this call will be recorded")=

You can combine these features with the REFER function ("#"), to create a extension which will first play back an announcement (such as "This call will be recorded"), before referring the call to your chosen destination.

You do not need to do anything with the voip-answer.c script (other than make sure your chosen recordings are in the right place).
