Deployment options
- Hosted call recording with SIPREC interface (active)
- Hosted call recording with port mirroring interface (passive)
- On-premise call recording with port mirroring interface
Hosted SIPREC recording
In a hosted environment MiaRec recording server is located inside Service Provider's datacenter. Customers get access to own call recordings remotely via web-browser. Customer's data is isolated from each other.
How it works
SIPREC interface should be enabled on Metaswitch side. SIPREC is supported in Metaswitch starting from version 9.0.10.
Metaswitch system uses the established SIPREC link to send call details (caller/called phone number, service provider id etc) and audio RTP stream to MiaRec recording server.
Advantages of SIPREC recording interface:
- It is more scalable than port mirroring recording. It support load balancing and high-availability setups with automatic failover.
- It is easier to manage. Administrators can easily enable/disable recording on per-user basis through Metaswitch administration web portal.
- It supports distributed deployment scenarios. The recording server may be located in another network or even another data center.
- It provides more call metadata for each call recording, like Metaswitch System and Business Group names.
