Ambient Voice Recording (Audio Stream)

🎙️ Ambient Voice Recording – FAQs

---

❓ What is ambient voice recording?

Ambient voice recording allows the app to capture short audio clips using the device’s microphone to monitor the surrounding environment. It can be triggered manually or on a schedule.

---

❓ What data is recorded?

Each audio recording includes:

• Audio file (usually in .mp4 or .aac format)

• Recording duration

• Timestamp of when it was recorded

• Device ID and optional location metadata (if enabled)

---

❓ How long is each recording?

You can configure the duration per session (e.g., 1–5 minutes). Shorter durations are recommended to save bandwidth and battery.

---

❓ How is recording triggered?

• Via remote push command from the Admin panel (e.g., “Start Ambient Recording Now”)

• Or by automated schedules (if configured)

---

❓ Can recordings be done silently?

Yes. The feature runs silently in the background with no visible UI or notification—unless local laws require otherwise.

---

❓ Will the user know they are being recorded?

By default, no visible notification is shown. However, you should comply with local privacy laws and inform users where required.

---

❓ Where are recordings stored?

Audio files are uploaded securely to cloud storage linked to your account and device. They can be reviewed or downloaded via the Admin panel.

---

❓ Is ambient recording battery-intensive?

Minimal impact if used occasionally. Frequent or long-duration recordings may increase battery and data usage.

---

❓ Does it work offline?

No. Recordings cannot be captured offline because no Internet connection, so there is no push to the device.
