Call Recorder Manual ©-2001 Vidicode Datacommunicatie BV

The Call Recorder with a LS120 drive makes all its recordings in the (flash) 
memory. Every night these recordings are automatically stored on the LS120 
disk.  When space is about to run out, a warning will appear on the display, 
and a new LS120 should be placed in the disk-drive of the recorder. 

It is also possible to manually copy the recordings onto the LS120 disk, In this 
way several copies can be made, if this is required. 

The maximum number of recordings that can be kept on an LS120 disk is 
2048. 

1.3.3 

The Flash Call Recorder 

 The Flash Call Recorder has two important areas of application: 

  applications in which recordings only occasionally need to be stored 

permanently  

 

Applications in which the computernetwork continually centrally archives 
recordings (e.g. at least once a day) 

In 

the first application

 the capacity has therefore been split into two parts, 

unlike the Hard Disk Call Recorder. 

One half of its memory works just like a Hard Disk Call Recorder, continually 
overwriting the oldest recordings. The other half of the memory serves as an 
archive. A recording in the archive will be kept until it is erased by the user. 
By pressing on the red button, for instance, the user is able to place a 
recording  in the archive. 

When the archive is about to reach its limit, i.e. no more than 30 minutes of 
standard quality recording can be added, a warning will be displayed on the 
screen. Recordings will need to be erased, but before this is done, they can 
be archived in a PC. 

In 

the

 

second application

 this type of recorder works just like a Hard Disk 

recorder. Its entire capacity is utilised, and when the memory is full up, the 
oldest recordings will be overwritten. It is essential that our Call Recorder 
Archive Software has been installed on the network and automatically 
archives the recordings at least once a day. In the case of automatic 
archiving, using a Flash Call Recorder is more economical than using a Hard 
Disk Call Recorder.
