Being able to setup one's own “black-box”-like system might actually prove to be quite a critical issue, especially if we're talking about those type of situations when audio support can actually avoid conflicts and even litigations. For this reason Teac America has just released the VP-101N single-channel voice-logging solution, which also features Ethernet / LAN access for expandability and scalability.

VP-101N is network-attached and could work either as part of a system configuration or independently as a stand-alone system. In fact, users can manage up to 24 VP-101N units from only one PC.

The VP-101N uses 24KHz sampling for recording, which is the highest-possible quality to date. Plus, with the special built-in "Fail-Safe" mode, VP-101N will continue to record even if the server storage fails. It senses the server failure and will switch to its internal storage for continuous recording.

VP-101N features 3-Mode Triggers: VOX (Voice-operated recording), External and Command triggers, or a combination of all the three modes. It monitors and records missed calls or disconnects, which means that every conversation is recorded and saved even if the line or phone is suddenly disconnected. VP-101N is "Powered-over-Ethernet" (PoE), so even if the device is accompanied by an AC power adapter, there's no actual need to use it, since the power is supplied via the LAN cable from PoE hub.

"TEAC VP-101N features endless hours of recording by storing data on both its internal and server storage. No other recorder in its class offers this feature as they store the recorded data on their internal storage alone which is limited and risky in case data is lost," says Aris H. Gharapetian, Director of Marketing at TEAC America, Inc. "VP-101N can store the data on the server which then can be monitored from the centralized location. If the server is down, VP-101N will switch to its internal storage for continuous recording. This is a unique feature of our system."
