Solid hardware, good driver support
Works well on Windows 11. The soft off-hook feature is sensitive but accurate. Would give 5 stars if the Linux examples were more extensive.

Exactly what was needed for prototyping
Clean audio output and precise event triggering. This kit saved us weeks of building a solution from scratch.

Reliable for high-volume recording
We deployed ten of these units for our QA team. No dropouts or audio glitches after three months of continuous operation.

Perfect for custom call logging apps
The SDK documentation is clear and the polarity reversal detection works flawlessly with our legacy PBX system. Integration took less than a day.

Good but requires coding knowledge
The hardware works fine, but it is definitely a development kit. If you aren't a programmer, you might struggle to set it up without pre-made software.

Great value for developers
For the price, you get a lot of functionality. The API is straightforward. Just make sure your phone line actually supports polarity reversal.
Q: Does this device work with VoIP lines or only analog PSTN?
A: The IP1-F is designed specifically for analog PSTN lines to detect polarity reversal. It is not compatible with pure VoIP digital streams without an analog telephone adapter (ATA).
Q: Can this record two calls simultaneously?
A: No, each IP1-F unit handles one phone line. To record multiple lines simultaneously, you need to connect multiple devices to your computer's USB ports.
Q: Do you provide sample code for visual basic?
A: We currently provide samples for C++, C#, and Java. However, since the DLL is standard, it can be imported into Visual Basic .NET projects easily.
Q: Is the SDK compatible with Python?
A: While the native SDK is written for C++ and C#, many users have successfully created Python wrappers using ctypes or SWIG. We do not provide official Python libraries yet.
Q: What happens if my phone line does not support polarity reversal?
A: If polarity reversal is not present, the device can still function using the 'Soft Off-Hook' detection method, which monitors audio energy levels to determine call status, though it may be slightly less precise.
