If you want to do call recording in Asterisk, Mix(Monitor() is your friend that you can use in dialplan.
For example you want to record the calls coming on DID 1949 555 55555
exten => 19495555555,1,MixMonitor(${UNIQUEID}.ulaw)
same => n,Dial(SIP/101)
In another example if you want to record call on user extension 101
exten => 101,1,MixMonitor(${UNIQUEID}.ulaw)
same => n,Dial(SIP/101)
MixMonitor() records the audio from both directions of the phone call and writes it to a file on disk in one of the audio formats that Asterisk supports. You can see a list of the file formats that your version of Asterisk supports at the Asterisk CLI. The Extensions column identifies which file format extensions can be used in the recording filename:
