Tech Tip: Videocenter Dial Out Recording to Non-LifeSize 220 Codecs

Content owners and administrators can record directly from LifeSize Video Center by selecting Manage : Dashboard (or My Videos) : Record Video and specifying the IP address or SIP URL of a video communications device that can stream H.264 video and G.711 audio. From the Dial Out and Record page, enter a name for the recording and click Call.

NOTE Additional optional properties include the following: channel, tags, description, sharing, streaming (live or recorded), and maximum bit rate. You can use a recording key you own to specify these properties for the dial out recording.

Using this method initiates recording by LifeSize Video Center, which sets up a SIP call to the address you specify and starts the recording. LifeSize Video Center inserts key frames to enable seeking, which allows viewers to quickly locate a specific section of the video.

For multiway calls with three or more participants (including LifeSize Video Center), the call that LifeSize 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 Video Center), the recorded stream does not display LifeSize Video Center as a call participant.

Firewall Ports for dialing systems that are behind a firewall

If you use SIP dial out recording to a video communication system that is behind your firewall, ensure the following UDP ports on your firewalls have incoming access: 5060 to 5100
