If someone access to the server via Putty (SSH) or terminal - I want to record everything what they can see on the screen and what they have typed into video..

What is the solution to this, is there a software that can do this?

In short - no, there's nothing that will be able to record an actual video of remote ssh sessions. However, the sudosh solution given in the above linked QA can accomplish nearly the same thing. – EEAA Apr 12 '12 at 16:12
@ErikA I just found observeit-sys.com/Products/UnixAuditor can do this job I think – I'll-Be-Back Apr 12 '12 at 16:15

Just out of curiosity, is this for auditing or security? What is the intended use case? – Andrew M. Apr 12 '12 at 16:48
Is this supposed to be for creating some kind of training? There are many screen capture tools. – Zoredache Apr 12 '12 at 17:53

What you can use is:

http://www.observeit-sys.com/

It is free for a limited number of servers, I use it to monitor our Citrix servers and it runs very well, with a nice UI.

One major drawback is the amount of sales calls and emails you will recieve when you download this!

There is a script utility that can write into the file everything from terminal. just set user's shell to the script -akq /audit/username.log bash and you'll get full log for keys pressed and data displayed. But don't forget to rotate that log.
