[sipcore] How to signal that a conversation is being recorded

[Brian Rosen <[e-mail]>]

Many are familiar with a requirement to insert an audible indication of a voice call being recorded, and in some circumstances, visible indication of a video recording.   SIPREC provides the recording mechanism, and it’s possible for the SIPREC client to insert the indications.  This doesn’t work very well in applications like emergency services, where recording often happens in multiple places.  We don’t want multiple media insertions.  The usual SIP way to do things like this is to pass the indication as data in signaling, and render the audio/video/whatever locally.

Suppose we wanted to do that: we would need to pass to all endpoints (think conference) the information that the session was being recorded.

Does that make sense?

What would you suggest we use to carry that indication?
