Recording and Audit

NG112 recording is more complicated than voice recording. RTT, video, location updates, additional data, transfers and routing decisions may all matter after an incident. Retention and privacy rules must be set before deployment.

What it does

Recording and audit capture emergency sessions, media, metadata and operational decisions for review and legal retention.

It preserves evidence and supports quality assurance, incident review and accountability.

How it works

  • Captures media streams and associated metadata.
  • Logs routing, transfer and display events where supported.
  • Applies retention, access and deletion policies.

Key interfaces and protocols

  • Voice/media recording
  • RTT/video capture
  • Location/event logs
  • Compliance controls

Systems it interacts with

  • PSAP
  • Call handling
  • RTT
  • Video
  • Additional data

Common failure modes

  • Voice recorded but RTT/video missing.
  • Location updates not logged.
  • Retention conflicts with privacy rules.
  • Audit trail cannot reconstruct routing decisions.

Implementation considerations

  • Define what must be recorded per media type.
  • Limit access to sensitive data.
  • Test retrieval during exercises.

Standards

  • National retention rules
  • ETSI NG112 operational context
