    You can monitor every talking line by pressing the pre-defined Hot-key,you will hear the conversation in your PC's spearker while the both sides talking.this function is different from 'playback'.

  14. What's Caller detail,How does it work?
    1) Phone spy can search a pre-defined database for the detail of the caller when there's an incomming call,you'll know who is it before you pick up the telephone.
    2) This just like an address-list,phone spy can pop-up a dialog box showing the caller number,caller name,company the caller from,address and other infomation in the database.
    3) We don't have such database,we only open and search the database using windows ODBC.for example,if there's a CRM software available in your machine,phone spy can display the information in the database of the CRM software.this CRM software is called a 3rd party system.
    4) Phone spy can access the 3rd party database after doing some simple settings.

    Yes.the recording and other functions of Phone spy work well in all countries.the Caller ID detection for FSK format(the most common format in the world) works well in most countries(USA, Canada, UK, Italy, France, South Africa, Singapore, Malaysia, Iran, Thailand, Taiwan, Hongkong,etc.).if you find our software can not detect the FSK Caller ID format in your place,please contact us,it should be OK after doing a simple upgrade of the software by our team.

  16. Does Phone spy support digital phone?
    Phone spy is not only a telephone recording software but also a general purpose voice recording one which can record all kind of voices.
    The adapter we supply is only compatible with analog signal. to record a digital phone,you will need to connect the adapter to the handset of your digital phone,this should be a little more complex.
    If you use phone spy with a digital phone,the Caller ID detection will not work,because there's no Caller ID signal in the handset at all.

  17. Does Phone spy support PBX(Private Branch telephone eXchange)?
    Yes.
    if you're using an analog PBX,you can connect the adapters to the outside lines or the extend lines of the PBX for recording.
    If you're using a digital PBX, the adapter we supplied can only be connected to the outside lines of the PBX.if you want to record the digital phones connected to the extend lines, you will need to connect the adapter to the handset of your digital phone,this should be a little more complex.
    If you use phone spy with a digital phone,the Caller ID detection will not work,because there's no Caller ID signal in the handset at all.

  18. Recording does not work,why?
    Please check in sequence:
    1) Adapter connection:
    You can connect the adapter in the "MIC" or the "Line in" jack of the sound card,the "Line in" jack is recommended.
    Please visit the adapter page for detail.
    2) Please select "Line in" in the "Recording channel" of Phone spy if you connected the adapter in the "Line in" jack.
    If you're not sure,please try from "MIC" to "Line in" in the "recording channel" of Phone spy.
    3) Please pick up the phone,you should see voice wave in Phone spy's wave area,if the wave does not appear,please re-check from 1).
    4) If you see voice wave,but recording still does not work,please check if the software is in unregistered mode and the trial is expired.
    5) If it's all right above,please check the existence of the path the recording should be saved,it's in Phone spy's menu "Settings-System settings-Recording devices-A recording device-path".

  19. Is Phone spy compatible with Windows 7? How to set under Windows 7?
    Phone spy works in Windows 7.but the audio system in Windows 7 is very different from what in Windows XP.
    Windows XP considered "sound card" as device and "Microphone(Line-in,etc.)" as "recording channel". but Windows 7 considered "Microphone(and line-in,etc.)" directly as "device".
    So,you'll not need to change "recording channel" in Phone spy under Windows 7,what you need is just selecting the correct "device" which the adapter is connected.
    Im most cases,you will also need to select the recording device in windows control panel.please open windows control panel,and then open sound management,and select "Microphone(Line-in)" as the default recording device if the adapter is connected to "Microphone(Line-in)".
    After registered,you will need to set the "working mode" of all "device" to "not register",and then set the "working mode" of "Microphone(Line-in)" to "1 line mode" if the adapter is connected to "Microphone(Line-in)".

  20. What is AGC(Auto Gain Control),how does it work?
    1) Background:the remote side of the two talking sides usually has low volume in almost all recordings,the source signal in the telephone line has this problem.
    2) The AGC function adjusts the recording volume continuously and automatically to lessen the difference between the two sides.
    3) The AGC relies on the maximum recording volume of the sound card,it would be no effect if the maximum recording volume of the sound card is very low.
