CCTV gives your FiveM server a persistent camera network that does more than show a live feed. Cameras record activity around motion detections and operator bookmarks so authorized staff can return later, find the incident in the archive, and replay what happened after the people and vehicles have left. Sonoran CCTV historic playback product overview Record incidents automatically, then return later to review the scene.
CCTV is a paid DLC for the free Events Core package. Install Events Core once to provide the shared recording, replay, storage, and event logic required by CCTV and other Events DLC. Events Core does not add a separate gameplay interface by itself.

​
Replay the past

CCTV preserves the activity around an incident instead of requiring an operator to watch every camera live. Motion events and manual bookmarks create archive entries with before-and-after context. Reviewers can later open a recording and control the historic playback. A person captured by a CCTV camera A subject captured from a configured CCTV camera. Historic playback includes:
  • Play, pause, seek, restart, and timeline navigation
  • Skip backward or forward and step through the recording
  • Adjustable playback speed

  • Archive controls for reviewing, preserving, exporting, or sharing recordings when configured

How it works

  1. An administrator creates a terminal and adds one or more cameras.
  2. A camera detects configured activity, or an operator creates a bookmark.
  3. Events Core preserves the incident with pre-event and post-event context.
  4. The recording appears in the CCTV archive.
  5. An authorized reviewer opens the recording and replays the historic scene.
CCTV can also be used for live monitoring, but live viewing is not required for an incident to be recorded.
