To get started, review the official FreeSWITCH documentation on mod_sofia and experiment with the record_session application in a lab environment.
<action application="set" data="sip_h_X-Recording-AgentID=1001"/> <action application="set" data="sip_h_X-Recording-Cause=compliance"/> The SRS can parse these headers to index the recording. FreeSWITCH can also receive SIPREC streams. When configured as an SRS, it simply accepts incoming SIP INVITEs from SRCs and writes the received RTP streams to disk. freeswitch siprec
In the modern world of unified communications, regulatory compliance (such as MiFID II in finance or PCI DSS in call centers) and quality monitoring are non-negotiable. While traditional call recording often relies on port mirroring or proprietary endpoints, the industry standard SIPREC (Session Initiation Protocol Recording) provides a standardized way to instruct a Session Border Controller (SBC) or IP PBX to send an exact copy of a media stream to a recording server. To get started, review the official FreeSWITCH documentation
You need a gateway profile pointing to your Recording Server. In sip_profiles/external.xml : When configured as an SRS, it simply accepts
<gateway name="siprec_srs"> <param name="proxy" value="10.0.0.100:5060"/> <param name="realm" value="recorder.local"/> <param name="register" value="false"/> <param name="expire-seconds" value="60"/> <param name="context" value="public"/> </gateway> To trigger SIPREC, use the record_session application. This tells FreeSWITCH to establish a separate SIPREC leg.
In sip_profiles/internal.xml (or a dedicated recording profile), ensure you accept incoming calls. Then, use a dialplan that writes the media to a file:
