When you add a new conference, you can add the IP address of the IP VCR as one of the participants. If you have set the 
default incoming call action of the IP VCR to be Record session, then when the conference begins, the IP VCR will record 
the conference. Recordings made using this method will always be made into the root folder of the IP VCR.

Note that Codian recommends that you configure the call to the IP VCR to use the H.323 protocol and not SIP 
(because SIP calls do not support the content channel or encryption).  

When the conference starts, the IP VCR will start recording into its root folder. Note that the name of the conference 
will be the name of the MCU and will also include the date and time if the 

 

option is checked on the 

 page.  

By using a gatekeeper and gatekeeper IDs, you can automatically record conferences directly into the folders of your 
choice on the IP VCR.
