FSV-128 66-Hour Phone and Cell Phone Digital Recorder

Questions on FSV-128 66-Hour Phone and Cell Phone Digital Recorder

• From: Gladys
  • Can you record from another room??? I mean if the phone that receives the call doesn't have the recorder, and the recorder is in another room can it still record the conversation??
  • Hi Gladys, yes, you absolutely can record from another room! (As long as you have standard analog phone service (from your local phone company) or your internet phone service is going through an (analog) telephone adapter. Or to explain more simply, if you have multiple phone wall jacks in the house and you have the recorder connected to one wall jack, and the phone is connected to another wall jack, then it will work. (This is because the recorder is connected into the phone line, not just a particular phone.)

• From: William Stanley
  • Is there any MAC compatible software for FSV-128 66-Hour Phone and Cell Phone Digital Recorder
  • Hi William, no, this FSV-128 model is not MAC compatible. To utilize a phone recorder with a MAC, look our other models that either store the phone recording files to an SD card, or the models that record directly to MP3 or WAV format.

• From: Rita McNamara
  • My Phone jack is in an upstairs room. can i hook the recorder up to the phone in my living room or does it have to be into the main jack?
    
    Thank you
  • Hi Rita, do you mean there is another wall jack in the living room you want to connect it to? In this case, yes you can. Or, do you mean you want to connect it directly to the telephone itself? In that case, you can if you also get the optional handset adapter which allows you to connect it to the phone's curly-coiled handset cord.

• From: Patrick
  • Our phone service is provided by our Cable company.
    
    We have a cordless phone with a standard phone jack that plugs into the cable modem provided by the cable company (same modem provides internet as well).
    
    Will the FSV -128 work in this situation? Thanks Patrick
  • Hi Patrick, if I understand you correctly, it sounds like you have a telephone adapter that plugs into the modem, and your phone base plugs into the telephone adapter? If so, then yes it will work. The key is that you have an Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA) that the telephone/recorder plugs into. This ATA device then plugs into your cable modem.

• From: Calvin
  • Hello, can the device playback and record at the same time? Thanks.
  • Hi Calvin, if you mean can you listen to the phone call from the recorder live as it's taking place, then yes. You can plug earphones (included) into the recorder and listen at the same time as it's recording.

• From: Kevin
  • I want to order this to be delivered to my office address.
    
    Does the package that I receive reveal that there is a recording device in there? Or does it reveal that it is from a phone spying device company?
  • Hi Kevin, we ship in a completely discrete manner. The return address used on the shipping label is a generic name and not the name of this website. The shipping box is a plain cardboard box and also does not indicate anywhere on it that there is a phone recording device inside, or that it came from this website.

• From: MIKE NICE
  • Once the phone recorder automatically turns off after non-use for 3 minutes, will it automatically turn on lets say 45 minutes later to record a conversation?
  • Hi Mike, yes it will automatically power itself up and start recording again.

• From: Doug
  • I want to be able to record all incoming and outgoing calls on all phones in the house. If the recorder is plugged into the wall jack in the living room, will it automatically record calls on the phone in the bedroom *without* me having to run into the living room to push any buttons? (I have POTS--plain oldfashoned analog phone service.)
  • Hi Doug, yes this will automatically record calls from all phones on your line, just as you described.

• From: niall
  • If plugged into a cordless digital phone base unit will it still record the calls. The system works on a standard 5.8 GHz spread spectrum. The base unit is plugged into a standard wall socket.
  • Hi Niall, it wouldn't plug into the phone base, it would actually plug into the wall jack. It comes with an adapter so that when you plug this into the wall jack instead of the phone, then you can plug the phone base into this. It will then record both sides of the conversations.

• From: rocky
  • Hello
    I am interested in the product. I wanted to know how it is going to work with Vonage. I have an adapter by Vonage that is connected to my internet modem. I connect my regular phone with the adapter, which has two phone outlets. Please explain.
  • Hi Rocky, it will work with Vonage. You unplug your phone and plug in the Telephone Adapter that comes with the recorder. Then into that adapter you can plug both the recorder and the phone.

• From: Roberta Bauer
  • Our phone service is through Time Warner Cable in Ohio and we have 3 cordless handsets. There is only one base station the other two are just charging stations. The filter is plugged into the modem from the phone jack and then the base is also plugged into the same jack (dual(?)) How would I attache the recorder? Would I have to use a splitter off the existing dual jack and if so would this cause any problems in the functioning of the recording device?
  • Hi Roberta, there is an adapter that comes in the recorder package. You would unplug your phone base from where it is and then plug the recorder in it's place. When you plug in the recorder, it uses an adapter that has an extra slot on it for you to plug your phone base into.

• From: Rosemary
  • Does this work on the IPhone?
  • Hi Rosemary, yes it will work on an iPhone. If you take look at the picture of the universal cell phone adapter that comes with it, you'll see that one end of it is a plug and the other end of it is an earpiece. You put the plug into the recorder, and the ear piece in your ear. Then, you hold your cell phone up to that same ear and have your cell phone conversation as usual. (It doesn't actually even plug into the cell phone, that's how it's universal and will work with all brands.) There's a built in microphone in the ear piece that picks up both sides of the conversation.

• From: Radan
  • I'm interested in this product and was wondering if the other caller could hear a beep or anything like a message stating that it was being recorded? I imagine not but some products (phone companies) do that now. Also, does it go 66 hours before the battery dies, or 66 hours worth of saved recording that you have to upload?
  • Hi Radan, no, there is no beep or message played through the phone line, so the other caller will not know they're being recorded, it is completely silent. The 66 hours (when set on LP quality setting) is the amount of recording time the memory built into the device will hold (before you delete unwanted recordings or offload them to your PC). The battery time is approximately 20 hours of recording and if you need longer than that, you could get the optional AC Adapter.

• From: Deepak
  • I have ADSL line and ADSL filter is used to separate telephone calls and broadband lines. Does this device work well on this ADSL line which is also having broadband service?
  • Hi Deepak, yes as long as you have the filters it will work. As long as you can use regular telephones in your wall jacks, it will work.
  • Do you find this question helpful?  Yes   No
• From: henry
  • Can you use this devise on a business phone with 2 lines
  • Hi Henry, you can if you get the additional Handset Adapter and are only wanting to connect it just to your one telephone and record whatever conversations you have on that telephone. Meaning, it can record both lines, but not at the same time. It would record from either line, just one at a time, whatever line you are using.

• From: Bill
  • I have a multiline business phone. Will the cell phone adapter work while talking on any one line?
  • Hi Bill, yes the cell phone adapter will allow you to record phone calls on any type of telephone. It actually doesn't even connect to the phone. If you take look at the picture of the cell phone adapter, you'll see that one end of it is a plug and the other end of it is an earpiece. You put the plug into the recorder, and the ear piece in your ear. Then, you hold your cell phone up to that same ear and have your cell phone conversation as usual. (It doesn't actually even plug into the cell phone, that's how it's universal and will work with all telephones.) There's a built in microphone in the ear piece that picks up both sides of the conversation.

• From: Kamal
  • Will this work with Vonage (service provider), and a cordless handset? My understanding is yes.
    Will it begin recording automatically (without pressing any button) when phone is in use?
    
    Will it stop automatically (without pressing any button) when the phone usage is done?
    Once installed, I do not want manual start and stop operation to be done for recording. Is it possible?
  • Hi Kamal, yes it will work exactly as you described in your question! You connect it to the line jack, and it will record your cordless phones automatically on each call.
  • Do you find this question helpful?  Yes   No
• From: kerri
  • Hi,
    Would this record conversations using a cordless phone if I plugged this into a wall jack in a seperate room from the base unit?
  • Hi Kerri, yes it would do exactly that! You can plug it into any wall jack on the line and it will record all phones (including cordless) on the line, no matter what wall jack the phone base is plugged into. (This is because it's connecting directly into the phone line and automatically detects line voltage when a call starts or stops.) It will record all incoming or outgoing calls.
