Status A status indication is displayed in the bottom left-hand corner of the recording console. It shows
the current state of recording. When you first enter the recording console, the status indication
will show paused.
Recording length The length of the recording is shown in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen, as minutes
and seconds. When you first enter the recording console, this will show a zero-length recording.
The recording length will update in real-time as recording progresses. Use this as a guide to how
long your recording will be.
Recording indicator
The recording indicator is shown only whilst recording is in progress, and hence will not be
visible when you first enter the recording console. When you start recording, this indicator will
blink near the top right-hand corner of the screen.
Controlling the recording console
When you first enter the recording console, you will hear audio instructions on which controls you may use. Recording
will not start until you are ready. Refer to the table below for details:
Control Control description Usage tips
Up Starts recording. The status line will change from
paused to resuming... then to recording.
When you start recording, the IP VCR waits for a
suitable moment before actually starting to record.
This is to ensure the best possible quality video is
recorded. During this time the status line shows
resuming.... Be sure to wait until the status line says
recording before starting to speak.
Down Stops recording. The status line will change from
recording to finished.
When you have finished recording, you will not be
disconnected from the IP VCR unless you hang up
the call.
Note that even when you have finished recording,
IP VCR resources are still in use until the call is
ended, possibly preventing other users from
making recordings in the meantime.
You do not have to explicitly stop recording. If you wish, you may simply hang up the call when you have finished.
Whether you press stop or simply hang up, the recording will be automatically stored by the IP VCR.
