Call Record on Fritz.Box

Call Record - Fritz.Box 

I want automatic calls record on Fritz.box. After few days of Goggling found a solution :)

a few options: 

1. On new (7320) Fritz devices provides this feature out of box. But it has many limitations; 

• it is only for 10 minutes.
• Not automatic, each call records must be allowed with key presses during the calls.

     2. Asterix PBX + Freepbx.

• needs compilation, configuration and massive PBX knowledge. Probably uses lots of resources on HW side and from human side too... :)

Solution is

     3. FritzCap.

This is the call record solution on server side.

• Download Fritzcap 2.0.0 (or 2.1 depending on your firmware)
• Extract it, and configure-only the password in fritzcap.conf 
• pick up the fritzbox handset and dial #96 * 5 * 
• python fritzcap.py -c -d -m

thats all! Your all calls are recorded automatically.

Make it permanent:

make a shell script in /etc/init.d directory.

#touch /etc/init.d/fritzcap

edit file and insert this

python /yourroute/fritzcap.py -c -d -m

Save file.

#chmod +x fritzcap
#update-rc.d fritzcap defaults
#sync
#reboot
check it is runing:
#ps ax | grep fritzcapHauskeeping script.

# ps ax | grep fritzcap

Cap and Wav files are large, convert mixed wav to mp3 and delete all source files.
Convert to mp3 with CRON. for example in the night when system not loaded.

# crontab -l
to check present cron

Just edit crontab.
# crontab -e

30 2 * * * /usr/local/bin/wav2mp3.sh

# cat wav2mp3.sh                                                                                                      

#!/bin/sh
# wav to mp3
cd /usr/local/bin/captures
nice -19 find /usr/local/bin/captures -name '*mix*.wav' |
while read i
do
if [ ! -f ${i%.wav}.mp3 ]; then
    nice -19 lame -h -b 128 "$i" "${i%.wav}.mp3"
fi
done
cd /usr/local/bin/captures
nice -19 find /usr/local/bin/captures -name '*.mp3' |
while read i
do
FILESIZE=$(stat -c%s "$i")
if [ "$FILESIZE" -gt 1000 ]
then
    nice -19 rm -f ${i%_mix_0_1.mp3}*.wav
    nice -19 rm -f ${i%_mix_0_1.mp3}.cap
fi
done

#repair cap file:
#python /usr/local/bin/fritzcap.py -d /usr/local/bin/captures/2014-03-10/160627/capture_20140310160627.cap
