Surveillance System

Surveillance System - Complete CCTV Network for Your FiveM Server

If you're running a serious roleplay server, security cameras aren't just decoration—they're part of the gameplay. This surveillance system gives you 34 pre-configured cameras covering all the critical spots: banks, jewelry stores, and shops. Players can monitor feeds, criminals can hack them, and police can review footage. It's the kind of depth that turns a simple heist into a tactical operation.

What's Included

You get a complete camera network out of the box. 34 cameras are already placed at strategic locations—banks, jewelry stores, and shops—so you don't have to figure out coordinates yourself. Each camera can be customized with different quality levels, and the system includes everything needed for both monitoring and hacking gameplay.

Key Features

• 6 Camera Quality Types - Mix and match camera qualities for realism. High-security locations get crystal-clear feeds, sketchy convenience stores get grainy footage. You can assign different quality levels to each camera individually.
• Automatic Footage Recording - When someone views a camera, the system saves it as a GTA V clip. Perfect for investigations or creating evidence for court RP. You can toggle this on/off in the config if it's too resource-heavy.
• Multiple Hacking Methods - Criminals get three ways to disable cameras: computer hacking, thermite hacking, or phone-based MHacking. Each method can trigger different camera groups, so you can make bank heists require disabling multiple security zones.
• Job System Integration - Restrict camera access by job. Police can monitor feeds, security guards can patrol via cameras, and you can set up private camera networks for different factions.
• Mass Camera Control - Hack one terminal and take down an entire security grid. Great for coordinated heists where the team needs to disable surveillance before moving in.
• Config-Based Customization - Add cameras, change locations, adjust quality levels, and set hacking requirements—all from the config file. No Lua knowledge required.

Perfect For

• Servers that want realistic heist mechanics (disable cameras before the job)
• Police departments that need investigation tools (review footage after crimes)
• Security job roleplay (guards monitoring camera feeds)
• Servers looking to add tactical depth to criminal activities

Technical Details

• Framework Compatibility: Works with ESX and QBCore. Job checks integrate with your existing framework jobs.
• Dependencies: Uses ox_lib for UI elements. Hacking minigames require your preferred hacking script (thermite, MHacking, etc.)
• Camera Placement: 34 pre-configured cameras included. Fully customizable positions via config.
• Footage Storage: Recordings save as native GTA V clips (optional, can be disabled to save resources)

Installation

1. Install ox_lib if you don't have it already
2. Add the script to your resources folder
3. Configure camera locations and quality types in config.lua
4. Set up job restrictions if you want role-based access
5. Configure your preferred hacking methods (thermite, computer, phone)
6. Restart your server and test camera feeds

What Makes It Stand Out

Most camera scripts just let you view feeds. This one treats surveillance as actual gameplay—criminals need to plan around it, police can use it for investigations, and the footage recording feature means camera evidence can be used in court RP. The ability to assign different quality levels to different cameras adds realism (a gas station camera shouldn't look as good as a bank's). And with three different hacking methods, you can make security feel like an actual challenge rather than just a visual effect.
