Camera
In-game evidence capture system for screenshots attached to profiles, vehicles, and incidents.
The camera system lets officers capture in-game screenshots as evidence, which can be attached to profiles, vehicles, and incidents. It requires a media provider (FiveManage) and one of the supported capture resources.
Setup
Get a FiveManage API Key
Sign up at fivemanage.com and generate an API key.
Add the Convar to server.cfg
set vx_mdt:media "your-api-key-here"Install a Capture Resource
Install one of the supported capture resources below and ensure it starts before vx_mdt in your server.cfg.
Done
The bridge is auto-detected — no additional configuration needed.
Supported Bridges
| Resource | Description |
|---|---|
fmsdk | FiveManage SDK — handles capture and upload internally. Simplest setup. |
screencapture | Standalone capture resource. Uploads to FiveManage via API. |
screenshot-basic | CFX built-in screenshot resource. Uploads to FiveManage via API. |
Only one capture resource is needed. If multiple are installed, auto-detection picks the first available (priority: fmsdk → screencapture → screenshot-basic). You can override this with bridges.camera in config.
