The Verba Dial-in Recorder is an audio and video call recording solution, where users can actively dial into various recorder lines to access the following services:

  1. record a call or conference (both audio and video)
  2. playback recorded calls (both audio and video)
  3. listen to ongoing calls on your network (audio only)

When used for recording the dial-in recorder becomes a party of the conversation. There are two main recording situations:

  1. dictation, note taking - when a caller calls the line, talks and does not connect any other party
  2. conference recording - when the caller adds the recorder to a conference call where more two or more parties are present

All recordings are stored in a central archive and are available through our web interface.

The recording lines can be secured using caller number detection or even PIN authentication.

Consider the following example user cases to get a better understanding of the solution:

  • Conference call - A consultant wants to record a conference call at the customer-site where the internal recording system is not available
  • Trading - A trader needs documentation of a deal, but she is currently out of office, where recording is not available
  • Interviews - A journalist wants to record an interview from a mobile phone: calls the recorder and starts a three party conference to conduct an interview
  • Verbal contracts and third party verification - A call center worker can connect the dial-in recorder into a call when the a voice contract is started

Supported audio phones

The dial-in recorder solution supports:

  • all audio endpoints in Cisco UCM and BroadSoft BroadWorks environments are officially supported.
