VRS Telephone Call Recorder 5.18

VRS Telephone Call Recorder 5.18 offers an effective tool which helps you record voices. Typical applications include telephone line recording (call recording), radio station logging, radio communication recording, control room recording and other specialized applications.

VRS is designed to record 1 - 64 independent channels and processes and stores each channel separately. For a recorder that is more suited to recording many microphones in the same room in a combined synchronous form, you should consider using the MSRS Conference Recorder.

      2. Call recording hardware:

• Call Recording Adapters (one for each line). You can order these types of connectors online from NCH Software's hardware division, AltoEdge on the Call Recording Hardware. Stock includes direct line and handset adapters with both USB and Stereo inputs. Also available are Call/Announce adapters to allow you to send an audio message back to the caller from the software. In USA or Canada, Radio Shack (Tandy) also supply a FCC approved unit although there are problems with audio recording quality.
• A Professional Multiline Telephony Board. Both CAHTA and CURL make these in 2,4 and 8 line versions. CAHTA also offers a 2 or 4 line USB device. See Telephony Boards for more information. The boards cost more than the call recording adapters but include multichannel sound, caller ID, hardware control and telephone connection in one turn-key unit.
• Also see Call Recording Scenarios for examples of some different approaches you can take to recording calls.  

      3. Sound recording hardware:

• The standard computer sound in (1 channel only). Just plug the audio source in.
• The standard computer sound in split to 2 mono channels. Buy a simple Y cable from your local electronics store to wire 2 mono sockets to a stereo plug. Then using Channel Properties assign one channel to "left mono" and the other to "right mono".
• Multiple sound cards in one PC. Depending on slots and resources you can install up to 3 sound cards in one PC. Each stereo input can be split (ie. a total of 6 inputs). This requires a bit more technical work than a multichannel card (next).
• Multichannel sound cards. There are many multichannel sound cards on the market today. See our Recommended Soundcards to purchase.
• USB sound devices. USB devices usually can be used with a hub to connect many devices to one PC. Most modern USB sound devices let you do this (but check with the manufacturer before purchasing). Stereo devices can be split (see above).
• Professional Telephony Boards [for Call Recording]. Both CAHTA and CURL make these in 2,4 and 8 line versions. CAHTA also offers a 2 or 4 line USB device. See Telephony Boards for more information. The boards cost more but include multichannel sound, caller ID, hardware control and telephone connection in one turn-key unit.
