CCTV (Map+Script) - Complete Surveillance System for Your FiveM Server
Transform your FiveM server's security and law enforcement roleplay with this comprehensive CCTV surveillance system. Combining high-quality camera map props with a fully functional script, this package delivers everything you need to create realistic security monitoring across your entire server. Whether you're running a police department, private security company, or just want to add another layer of immersion to your city, this CCTV system brings professional-grade surveillance to your roleplay environment.
The system includes strategically placed camera models throughout the map, from highway monitoring stations to building security points, all accessible through an intuitive in-game interface. Players can actively monitor different camera feeds, switch between views, and use the surveillance footage for investigations, evidence gathering, or security operations. It's not just decoration - it's a fully interactive system that opens up new roleplay opportunities for law enforcement, security personnel, and criminal investigations.
What's Included in This Package
This complete surveillance solution comes with three essential components that work together seamlessly. The Highway Cameras (Style 2) module places realistic camera props along major highways and roads, perfect for traffic monitoring and pursuit tracking. The Security Cameras V2 system adds building-mounted cameras with multiple viewing angles and zones. The included xmenu interface provides players with an easy-to-use control panel for accessing and switching between camera feeds in real-time.
All camera models are optimized for performance, using high-quality textures without impacting server performance. The map files are standalone, meaning they don't conflict with other MLOs or map mods you might have installed. The script handles all the functionality - from camera switching to UI management - with clean, efficient code that won't slow down your server.
Key Features That Set This System Apart
- Dual Camera Types - Highway surveillance cameras for roadway monitoring and building-mounted security cameras for facility protection, giving you complete coverage options
- Simple Command Access - Players can access the CCTV system using the /cctv command, making it intuitive for both new and experienced players
- xmenu Integration - Clean, user-friendly menu system for switching between camera feeds without complex keybinds or confusing interfaces
- Strategic Placement - Cameras are positioned at realistic locations including highway overpasses, building entrances, parking structures, and high-traffic areas
- Performance Optimized - Minimal resource usage with efficient streaming and draw distance management, typically running at 0.00-0.01 ms when not actively viewing feeds
- Standalone Installation - No framework dependencies required, works with ESX, QBCore, QBOX, or any custom framework
- Multiple View Angles - Each camera location offers different perspectives, allowing players to get the best view of the area they're monitoring
- Realistic Camera Models - High-quality prop models that match the aesthetic of GTA V's world, maintaining visual consistency
Perfect For These Roleplay Scenarios
- Police Departments - Monitor city streets, highways, and high-crime areas from the station, coordinate pursuits using live camera feeds

- Upload to Server - Drag and drop all three folders (Highway_cameras_style_2, security_cameras_V2, and xmenu) into your server's resources directory
- Configure server.cfg - Add the following ensure commands to your server configuration file:
- ensure Highway_cameras_style_2
- ensure security_cameras_V2
- ensure xmenu
- Restart Server - Perform a complete server restart to load all map files and initialize the script
- Test In-Game - Join your server and use the /cctv command in chat to access the camera system and verify installation
Technical Specifications
- Resource Count: 3 separate resources (2 map files, 1 script)
- Framework Compatibility: Standalone (works with any framework or no framework)
- Performance Impact: 0.00-0.01 ms idle, 0.02-0.05 ms when actively viewing cameras
- Map Conflicts: None - standalone map additions that don't replace existing game files
- Camera Count: 20+ strategically placed cameras across the map
- Control System: xmenu-based interface for easy camera switching
- Access Method: In-game chat command (/cctv)
- Player Permissions: Can be restricted through your framework's job/permission system
Customization and Integration Options
While this system works perfectly out of the box, server developers can easily customize it to fit their specific needs. The xmenu configuration allows you to add job restrictions, so only police officers or security personnel can access certain camera feeds. You can also integrate the camera feeds with dispatch systems, allowing operators to send camera views to officers in the field.
The camera map files can be edited to add or remove specific camera locations based on your server's layout. If you've added custom MLOs or modified certain areas of the map, you can reposition cameras to better cover your unique city design. The script is clean and well-commented, making it straightforward for developers to extend functionality - such as adding recording capabilities, motion detection alerts, or integration with evidence systems.
Roleplay Enhancement Value
This CCTV system adds a critical layer of realism that many servers overlook. In real-world law enforcement and security operations, surveillance cameras are essential tools for monitoring, prevention, and investigation. By adding functional cameras to your server, you create opportunities for:
- Detectives reviewing footage to solve crimes and identify suspects
- Dispatch operators providing real-time situational awareness to field units
- Security guards actively monitoring their assigned areas
- Criminals planning routes to avoid camera detection, adding strategic depth to heists
- Traffic officers monitoring highways for violations and accidents
- Government officials securing sensitive locations and events
These roleplay scenarios were previously impossible or required imagination - now they're fully interactive and visual, making the experience more engaging for everyone involved.
What Makes This CCTV System Stand Out
Unlike simple decorative camera props that serve no functional purpose, this is a complete surveillance solution. The combination of well-placed map objects and a functional script creates an actually usable system. Many servers either have camera props with no functionality, or scripts with no visual representation - this package bridges that gap perfectly.
The xmenu interface is particularly valuable because it's lightweight and doesn't require players to learn complex controls. The /cctv command is easy to remember, and the menu itself is intuitive enough that players can start using it immediately without extensive training. This accessibility means more players will actually use the system, creating more dynamic roleplay situations.
The performance optimization is another standout feature. Many surveillance systems cause frame drops or high resource usage, especially when multiple players are viewing cameras simultaneously. This system maintains excellent performance even during heavy use, ensuring your server stays smooth and responsive.
Support and Updates
This package includes all necessary files for immediate installation and use. The resources are provided as-is and work with current FiveM server versions. If you encounter any installation issues, double-check that all three resources are properly ensured in your server.cfg file and that your server has been fully restarted after installation.
