How can I make record incoming calls? Asterisk 1.8 (no freepbx, console only)

Answer 1

You could try to use Monitor/StopMonitor dialplan procedures to record incoming calls. Use the following template:
same => n,Monitor(wav,''${UNIQUEID},m)
same => n,Set(FILEARG="/tmp/asterisk/monitor/${UNIQUEID}.wav")
.
.
same => n,Hangup()
exten => h,1,StopMonitor()
same => n,System(/usr/local/bin/record-file-to-database --file=${FILEARG})
Check your Asterisk configs for the exact location of Monitor output folder.
