INSTALLATION GUIDE

Step 0 - First Steps

1. Download your resource from FiveM's Keymaster.

2. Unzip the cd_cctv.zip folder and place this folder in your server's resource folder.

3. Add the resource to your server start config (server.cfg): ensure cd_cctv. If you are using a framework, it must be placed anywhere below your framework resource e.g., es_extended, not above.

ensure es_extended
ensure cd_cctv

Step 1 - Configure Resource

You MUST read all configurable options inside the [cd_cctv/configs/config.lua] file and configure them to suit your server's needs. Please read the commented out help text at the end of each line so you can understand what each config option does.

The most important sections are the options under the Frameworkand Importantsections at the top of the config.lua. Everything else is optional.

NEW: Auto Framework Detect!

Introducing our new 'auto_detect' feature! It automatically identifies your framework and applies the appropriate default settings.

Step 2 - Add More Camera Types

In the [cd_cctv/configs/config.lua] file, scroll down to the PLACING CCTV CAMERAS section. In the Config.CCTV table you can configure default cameras or add new ones; everything is explained in the commented out help text.

HOW TO USE

This resource is very easy to install, configure and use. Once the steps above are complete, the rest is simple:

1. You have 2 ways to place the CCTV cameras, depending on if you use a framework. You can either use the /cctv1 or /cctv2 chat commands or use the cctv1 or cctv2 usable items (if you use a framework).
2. Now you have placed your camera, use the /cctvui chat command to open the CCTV management UI; here, you can view the cameras and give other players access to view your cameras.

CHANGELOG

Files Changed

Not every update requires replacing the entire folder. To avoid redoing your configs, use the option that applies

Key	Meaning
Full Re-Download Required	Delete the old folder and replace it with the latest version. Reuse your config.lua unless told otherwise.
Update Specific Files	Only the files listed below need to be replaced.
Config Update Required	Your config.lua must be updated for this version.
Requires Auto SQL Enabled	Enable Config.AutoInsertSQL in config.lua to apply required database updates.

Skipping Updates

If you’ve skipped previous updates, it’s recommended to update all files to avoid issues.
For example, if you're on v4.0.1, skipped v4.0.2, and are updating to v4.0.3, use the Full Download option.

PLEASE READ! (JSON files)

When updating a resource that uses JSON files as a database as this one does, DO NOT delete/replace the files/folders inside the JSON files folder, as this will overwrite your saved database.
