Sound Activated Recording

Post by peteb1414 » Mon Jul 17, 2017 11:06 pm

Is there anyway to setup Sound Activated Recording to save the file when silence is detected, and start a new file?

basically I want a file named "recording start date time - stop date time"

My use case is in a security patrol car I have a police scanner playing and occasionally I hear an event but miss an address and would like to be able to play back what was recorded.

No there isn't.

Thanks for the quick reply!

How about this, can it record 1 minute of audio, save it to a file, then record another minute of audio? .. maybe with scripting or batch files.

If I can have the last hour broken down into 1 minute increments I wouldn't need sound detection..
