The Liberty Recorder runs on a standard PC or laptop with Windows XP (SP2). The computer should be equipped with a standard sound card to monitor the ongoing recording levels, if required.

The Liberty Recorder supports a number of different multi-channel sound cards through industry standard interfaces. Support includes WAV devices (including WDM) and ASIO devices. Please consult High Criteria or your Liberty dealer for more information about suitable sound cards to address your requirements.

The site must also provide sufficient storage capacity to retain the recordings. Installations may choose to save the audio recording files on the local computer, or on a central data repository. In the former case, the PC should have sufficient space to retain the files for the required period of time. In the latter case, the central server should have sufficient capacity. Regardless of where the data is saved, appropriate measures must be taken to provide backup and recovery of the data. Note that the multi-channel wav files created by the Liberty Recorder are standard computer files and may be moved, copied and saved, just as any other computer file. Standard file backup strategies including data mirroring, and RAID configurations are applicable to the Liberty files.
