asterisk users - May 2006 - call monitoring and indications / beeps

Hi All,

Is it possible to configure asterisk to play a beep at a regular 
interval when a conversation is being recorded / monitored?

There are a number of ways indicating to a user that a conversation is 
being recorded, one is to play an announcement, another accepted way is 
to play these beeps at a regular interval (15 / 30 seconds or similar) 
however i cannot seem to find a way to get them to play when monitoring 
a call - any ideas?

Cheers,

Ben

Nudge?

HI Ben,

Make following context in your extensions.conf
[notifycallrec]
exten => tone,1,Answer
exten => tone,2,Answer
exten => tone,3,Playtones(!950/50,0)
exten => tone,4,Wait(10)
exten => tone,5,Goto(3)
exten => h,1,StopPlaytones

Then you can call it with:
exten => _X.,1,Dial(Zap/r0/${EXTEN},30,G(notifycallrec^tone^1))
Obviously use the right technology in your dial string but make sure you
keep the G option

You can play around with Wait and Playtones if you wish.
This will make both callee and caller phones beep with tiny beep.

This works fine for me

Regards
