Installation

Download Bodycam & Dashcam (ed_bodycamdashcam) using the Cfx Portal.

Download the Dependencies

Download the latest ox_lib GitHub.

Server.cfg Configuration

Add the following lines to your server.cfg to ensure the required resources are loaded:

server.cfg

ensure ox_lib
ensure ed_bodycamdashcam

Make sure ox_lib is started before ed_bodycamdashcam.

Configuration

Ace Permission Setup

Available Ace Permissions

Permission	Description
`DashcamSetup`	Allows user to set up dashcam positions using the in-game setup command (`/dashcamsetup`).
`BodycamDashcam`	(Standalone only) Allows user to use bodycam & dashcam features when framework is set to `standalone`.

Example Usage

server.cfg

add_ace group.admin "DashcamSetup" allow
add_ace group.police "BodycamDashcam" allow # Only needed for standalone mode

Inventory Integration

ox_inventory

If you are using the ox_inventory inventory, you must include the export table within the item data for the bodycam item.

Example:

ox_inventory/data/items.lua

['bodycam'] = {
  label = 'Bodycam',
  weight = 0.1,
  consume = 0,
  server = {
    export = 'ed_bodycamdashcam.bodycam'
  }
},

This is required for the item to function properly with ox_inventory.

Bodycam Configuration

The bodycam script is highly configurable via the ClientConfig.Bodycam section. Below are the key options and their explanations:

Prop	Type	Default
`ToggleBodycamCommand`	`string`	`bodycam`
`RecordBodycamCommand`	`string`	`recordbodycam`
`RecordBodycamKey`	`string`	`X`
`ItemName?`	`string`	-
`BodycamProp`	`object`	-
`RecordingBodycamProp`	`object`	-
`NoBodycamProp`	`object`	-
`Recording?`	`object`	-
`ViewingLocations`	`array`	-

Recording Service: Only Fivemanage is supported for uploading bodycam footage. Discord Webhooks are not supported. Fivemanage offers a free tier with 30 GB of storage.

Recording Time Limit: The maximum recording duration can be configured in Recording.RecordingLimit (default: 300 seconds).

Note:

If you are using a framework (not standalone), set the correct job names in AllowedJobs to restrict bodycam usage to specific roles (e.g., police).
If you set ClientConfig.Framework to standalone, the script will ignore AllowedJobs and instead require the ace permission BodycamDashcam (name is configurable).

Dashcam Configuration

The dashcam script is configurable via the ClientConfig.Dashcam section. Below are the key options and their explanations:

Prop	Type	Default
`SetupCommand`	`string`	`dashcamsetup`
`DefaultCamera`	`object`	-
`Controls`	`object`	-

Usage

Bodycam

Toggle the bodycam overlay using the /bodycam command.
Start recording by pressing the X or using the /recordbodycam command.
The bodycam must be equipped and allowed for your job.
Recording uploads footage to Fivemanage, which offers a free tier with 30 GB of storage.

Dashcam

Use the /dashcamsetup command in-game to set up dashcam positions for vehicles. This command requires the DashcamSetup ace permission.

Viewing Dashcam

Drivers and passengers can press C to switch to their vehicle's dashcam view, if the vehicle is registered with a dashcam. See the next step for instructions on registering a dashcam.

Registering a Vehicle Dashcam

To integrate a dashcam into a vehicle, use the following export in your script:

exports['ed_bodycamdashcam']:registerVehicleDashcam(netId, {
    jobName = player.PlayerData.job
})

Make sure to replace player.PlayerData.job with your framework's player job name.

Prop	Type	Default
`netId`	`number`	-
`jobName`	`string`	-
