Overview
Install and use GapCam, ActionCam, and DSLR cameras on FiveM vehicles.
GapCam adds three vehicle-mounted cameras: GapCam 360, ActionCam, and DSLR. Each has its own mount, adjustable joints, and live viewfinder. A vehicle can carry multiple cameras, including several of the same type.
These guides cover GapCam 1.0.1.
Explore the resource files to see the package structure, editable interface source, translations, and camera assets.
Camera types
| Camera | Mount and view |
|---|---|
| GapCam 360 | Extendable pole, adjustable suction cups, head tilt and swivel, and a live view you can rotate |
| ActionCam | Compact articulated mount, adjustable hinges, and a wide view that follows the mounted lens |
| DSLR | Articulated mount with a sliding section, adjustable hinges, and a viewfinder with focus readouts and composition guides |
Use the placement panel to move and rotate a mount, adjust its joints, and save the result. Supported door, hood, and trunk mounts follow the panel they are attached to.
Saved installations
Camera types, positions, rotations, and joint settings are saved through oxmysql. Saved mounts restore when the same vehicle returns from garage storage or after a resource or server restart.
Vehicle matching uses the bridge's persistent vehicle ID and the vehicle model. Vehicles without that ID use their plate and model. Give those vehicles distinct, stable plates.
Snapshots and clips
ScreenCapture provides optional Discord snapshots and video recording. Clips can upload to Discord, FiveManage, or Qbox CDN. CDN clips appear in the player's saved clip library, with playback and link copying.
The supplied video configuration selects qbox. Configure its API key before recording, or choose another provider. Follow Snapshots and recording for the complete setup.
