Users (with permission to record) and administrators can record directly from LifeSize UVC Video Center.
- Select Manage : Dashboard (or My Videos) : Record Video.
- Specify the IP address or SIP URL of a video system that can stream H.264 video and G.711 audio.
- Enter a name for the recording. Additional optional properties include the following: channel, tags, description, sharing, streaming (live or recorded), maximum bit rate, mobile stream options, and multicasting (if enabled globally). If desired, you can use a recording key you own to specify these properties for the dial out recording.
- Click Call.
Using this method initiates recording by LifeSize UVC Video Center, which sets up a SIP call to the address you specify and starts the recording. LifeSize UVC Video Center inserts key frames to enable seeking, allowing viewers to locate a specific section of the video more quickly.
For multiway calls with three or more participants (including LifeSize UVC Video Center), the call that LifeSize UVC Video Center makes to the video system appears in the video system layout as a call participant and is embedded in the video recording. In two-way calls (including LifeSize UVC Video Center), the recorded stream does not display LifeSize UVC Video Center as a call participant.
Because dial out recording requires LifeSize UVC Video Center to perform additional processing, LifeSize recommends that you use dial out recording only if the video system cannot initiate a recording to LifeSize UVC Video Center.
For a list of systems that support streaming and recording and a list of systems that support dial out recording, refer to the release notes for LifeSize UVC Video Center at lifesize.com/support.
