# Recording Rate

This function controls the dialer's speech message recording rate. Recording rate is directly proportional to speech sampling rate. The 3600 bps setting provides for very intelligible speech recording. If a large number of long speech messages are needed the 1800 bps setting should be used. The 1800 bps setting provides for adequately intelligible speech recording but consumes only half the speech message memory as the 3600 bps setting.

- For higher quality messages a higher sampling rate must be used.
- The lower sampling rate will provide more recording time for messages.
- This parameter can be configured from the Dialer's Front Panel, Over the Phone, or Alarmware™.

The Options are:

- 3600 bps (Default)
- 1800 bps

Note: bps = bytes per second
