The page mirrors the [Voice Recordings](/platform/voice/recordings) page exactly - same retention banner, same recording list, same details panel and inline player.

## The differences from Voice Recordings

| Element        | SIP Recordings                                                                                                                                                                                         | Voice Recordings                                                             |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Scope**      | Recordings produced by SIP trunks (inbound + outbound).                                                                                                                                                | Recordings produced by XML applications.                                     |
| **Type badge** | `Trunk` on every row.                                                                                                                                                                                  | `Call` for standard XML‑driven recordings, `Conference` for conference legs. |
| **Source**     | Recording enabled per trunk via [Outbound Trunks → Call Recording](/platform/sip/outbound-trunks#recording--transcription-toggles) or [Inbound Trunks → Call Recording](/platform/sip/inbound-trunks). | Recording started via `<Record>` XML verb or REST `start_recording` call.    |

Everything else is identical: 30‑day retention, lazy audio fetch, AI transcript + sentiment, same filter modal, same Call UUID cross‑reference with [SIP Call Logs](/platform/sip/call-logs).

## Recording details panel

| Field                        | Meaning                                                                                                 |
| ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Recording ID**             | `#<uuid>` shown above the action buttons.                                                               |
| **Format**                   | `WAV` (8 kHz mono PCM) or `MP3` (CBR 64 kbps).                                                          |
| **Type**                     | `Trunk` for SIP recordings.                                                                             |
| **Play / View Analysis**     | Inline playback or AI breakdown.                                                                        |
| **Call Details**             | From, To, Start Time, Duration, Call UUID - Call UUID matches [SIP Call Logs](/platform/sip/call-logs). |
| **Recording Info**           | Format, Type, Storage Life (days remaining before auto‑delete).                                         |
| **Transcription & Insights** | Speaker‑labelled transcript plus per‑speaker sentiment.                                                 |

## Tips

* **Enable recording per trunk, not globally.** Recording every call gets expensive - keep it on for the agent/production trunks that actually need audit trails.
* **Export critical recordings within 30 days.** Retention is hard - see [Export historical recordings](/recording/export-historical-recordings) before they age out.
* **Use Call UUID** to jump back to the originating [SIP Call Log](/platform/sip/call-logs) entry - quoting the Recording ID in support tickets is fine, but the Call UUID gives Vobiz support the full SIP trace.
