What am I fishing for here? #telephone calls 😁

This is all above board (as its internal monitoring)- but old tech way is surprisingly most GDPR compliant - it separates call metadata (which I don't want, I can get that from other sources) from audio which I do want.

I'm not even interested in exact *content* of calls here, what I'm monitoring is overall audio quality to make sure nothing is glitched / daleked at our end now calls are 100% #VOIP (alas, I can't do anything about ropey #LTE networks our staff and service users might be using)

I'm also testing how #Grandstream #ATA and cloud #PBX handle long telephone calls (such as intercept feed from the other #PBX)

Contents of #tape are not kept long term, they are be erased once I've assessed the audio quality..

The new "blue label" #microcassetttes aren't that good quality and seem to have the tape slightly misaligned, so you hear the recording from the other side of the tape backwards (thankfullly I've been able to find some NOS #TDK ones) which work a lot better.

Seems bizzare though someone would go to all the trouble of making *new* microcassettes in 2026, but get the dimensions slightly wrong..
