FTR Monitoring Suite

The gold standard in digital court recording monitoring and management.

Designed specifically for monitoring and controlling recordings in the courtroom from outside of the courtroom—For The Record’s suite of monitoring software supports jurisdictions of all sizes.

FTR Monitoring Suite’s version 7.7 updates improve the live listening and confidence monitoring experience for court personnel working remotely.

Whether using a wide area network (WAN) or Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), courts can directly stream the court recording to FTR Player within FTR Monitoring Suite 7.7. FTR Player’s reduced delay and loading times provide real-time viewing and listening with less chance of interruption or stuttering—even in poor network connectivity. 

Courts can now configure the live streaming functionality to better manage system and network requirements. The latest version enhances the live streaming experience in FTR Monitor by introducing advanced streaming features, including improved streaming start-up time, automatic switch to file mode during interruptions to streaming, and extended audio streaming capability for WMV codec.  

With added remote control and central monitoring of up to 16 channels of high-fidelity audio and 4 channels of HD video captured via FTR Reporter (delivered in FTR Recording Suite), FTR Monitoring Suite facilitates efficient management of court records across all rooms in entire courthouses.
