1 Introduction

This is the manual of the Vidicode Call Recorder Apresa web interface. The Call Recorder Apresa is a system for systematically recording VoIP (Voice over IP) and digital TDM telephone calls. The Call Recorder Apresa can be configured in three different ways: to record every call coming in or going out, but not the local to local calls, to record every call coming in or going out, including the local to local calls and to record on demand, using dial code actions.

All recorded calls are saved to the Call Recorder Apresa’s internal hard disk. The web interface allows the user to view, playback and download recordings made by de Call Recorder Apresa.

Recordings can be e-mailed manually. There is an option for encryption of the recordings and with the Apresa Client software ‘Screen recording’ and ‘Store on demand’ are possible.

In the example below the user has ‘Administrator’ permission. This means he or she has access to all calls, the Options menu and the Tools menu.

2.2 Store on demand

There are different ways to configure the recording in Apresa. Usually all calls coming in and going out of the organisation will be recorded, including local to local calls. It is however a possibility to record on demand. With Apresa this means that a dial code action has to be defined. The Apresa records everything, but will only save a call if the user orders it to by using a dial code action *5. Alternatively The ‘Store this call’ button in the Apresa client can be used. Should the user decide that it is necessary to record a certain call, he or she presses *5 (or any other code your Apresa Administrator has configured) on his telephone and the whole conversation will be stored on the Apresa server.

2.3 Screen recording

The Call Recorder Apresa Client is PC software for screen recording. The Apresa Client communicates with the Apresa server.

To use the Apresa Client the user must have an enabled Apresa account. Only the organisations Administrator can create or edit user accounts.

To create a user account open the Apresa web interface and log in as administrator. Open the Tools menu and go to the User screen. When creating the new account, also specify the telephone or telephones associated with the user. The administrator should also enable screen recording in the Options menu in the Client software (Please refer to the separate manual for the Apresa Client).

1.2.3 How it works

Calls to and from this telephone will be reported to the Apresa Client to trigger Screen recording. The Apresa Client has to be active, but can be put in the system tray.

Screen recording starts when a call is initiated or answered and stops automatically. The file is then uploaded to the server and removed from the clients PC. In the Apresa server the screen recording is associated with the audio recording and will be stored with the audio recording.

To playback the audio and video together, use the ‘Download screen

recording’ button to download both files to your PC and use the default media player to play back. You will be able to see what happened on the users screen while he had his conversation on the telephone.

2.4 Search

To search for a recording with certain properties, click the Search

SearchSearch

button.

A search criteria window will open in which you can insert your parameters.

Search options include: Date, Date range, Time, Time range, Direction, Notes, Local or Remote Name, Local or remote Telephone number or ID, Local or remote IP address. It is possible to search a specific text string in the Notes field and it is possible to search for an exact match.

Fill in as many properties as necessary to find the call or calls needed.

Then click the Search button

To cancel the search click the Cancel your query

2.5 Playback

What you see in the web interface is a listing of the calls. The actual calls are on the Call Recorder Apresa. In order to playback a call, it needs to be downloaded to your PC first. There are different ways to do that.

1. Clicking on the Play symbol in the first column of the table,

2. by selecting the call, and clicking the "Play" button. The call will then be downloaded to a temporary location on your computer and played back by your default audio player, this can be a standard media player or the Vidiplayer.

3. In some browser configurations, it is necessary to use the

"Download" button instead. When the call has been downloaded, open the file, to start its playback.

2.6 E-mail

When an e-mail address is configured for your user account, it is also possible to have the system e-mail the recorded call to you, by clicking

the "E-mail" button .

A confirmation will show up in the Apresa web interface
