Security Camera Job

Security Camera Job - Professional Surveillance Installation & Management System for FiveM ESX

The Security Camera Job script introduces a comprehensive surveillance business system to your FiveM ESX server, allowing players to install, manage, and monitor security cameras across the entire map. This advanced job framework goes beyond simple placement mechanics, offering full business operations including employee management, client invoicing, camera ownership systems, and live surveillance feeds. Players can build a complete security company providing installation services to other players, businesses, and organizations while managing their workforce through an integrated tablet interface.

Unlike basic camera scripts that only let players view feeds, this system creates an entire profession around security infrastructure. Employees install cameras at client-requested locations, configure ownership and viewing permissions, maintain and repair malfunctioning equipment, relocate existing installations, and generate professional invoices for services rendered. Bosses manage the company through hiring, firing, promoting staff, and overseeing all active installations. The tablet-based interface provides mobile access to all management functions, making the job feel like a real security services business.

What's Included

You'll receive the complete security camera job package including installation scripts, management tablet UI, camera viewing system, employee hierarchy framework, invoicing functionality, and ESX integration. The script includes camera placement mechanics with owner assignment, permission-based viewing systems, repair and maintenance features, relocation tools for existing cameras, and comprehensive boss management interfaces. All camera data persists in the database, maintaining installation records across server restarts.

• Live Feed Viewing - View real-time camera feeds showing actual player activity in the monitored areas
• Persistent Data - All camera installations, configurations, and ownership records save to database across restarts

Perfect For

• Roleplay servers wanting diverse civilian job options beyond standard roles
• Servers with business ownership systems needing security services integration
• Law enforcement focused servers where legal surveillance creates investigative gameplay
• Criminal servers where security companies provide protection or surveillance for illegal operations
• Economy-focused servers needing service industries with recurring revenue models
• Serious RP communities wanting realistic security infrastructure roleplay

How the Job Works

Employees start by receiving installation requests from clients (players, businesses, or organizations). Using the work tablet, they travel to the requested location and use the placement tool to position the camera with proper angle and coverage. After installation, they assign ownership to the client and configure viewing permissions based on the client's needs. The system generates an invoice which the employee sends via tablet, and the client pays for services rendered.

As cameras age or take damage, they require maintenance. The repair system creates service calls that employees respond to, diagnosing issues and performing fixes. This creates ongoing business beyond initial installations. Bosses oversee operations from the management interface, monitoring employee performance, tracking active installations, and managing the workforce hierarchy with promotions and terminations.

Installation

1. Extract the security-camera-job folder to your server resources directory
2. Ensure es_extended (ESX framework) is installed and running
3. Import the included SQL file to create necessary database tables for camera data
4. Configure dependencies: ensure you have esx_inventoryhud with society_storage (or modify storage code for your inventory)
5. Add ensure security-camera-job to your server.cfg file
6. Configure settings in config.lua (job name, salary, installation costs, etc.)
7. Add the security camera job to your ESX jobs database if not auto-created
8. Restart your server and test camera installation and viewing systems

Framework Compatibility

• ✅ ESX v1-final and Earlier - Designed specifically for ESX v1-final and lower versions with full functionality
• ⚠️ ESX Legacy - May require minor code adjustments for compatibility with Legacy versions, check documentation
• ❌ QBCore - Built exclusively for ESX framework, not compatible with QBCore without major conversion
• ❌ Standalone - Requires ESX framework for job system, economy, and society functions

What Makes It Stand Out

This script stands apart by creating a complete business ecosystem rather than just a camera viewing tool. The invoicing system adds economic realism, the permission framework enables complex security arrangements, and the maintenance mechanics create long-term business relationships instead of one-time installations. The tablet interface feels professional and modern, elevating the job beyond simple menu-based interactions. The flexibility in camera assignment means security companies can serve police departments, gang territories, business districts, or private residences with equal effectiveness.

Client Use Cases

Security camera installations serve various client needs: police departments monitoring high-crime areas or government buildings, gang organizations watching territory entrances and drug operations, business owners protecting shops and warehouses from robberies, wealthy homeowners securing luxury properties, casino or club owners monitoring gaming floors and VIP areas, car dealerships preventing vehicle theft, and server administrators creating permanent surveillance for important locations. Each installation creates roleplay opportunities and recurring service revenue.

Business Operations Guide

Running a successful security camera company involves strategic operations. Set competitive pricing for installations that balance affordability with profitability. Hire reliable employees and train them on proper installation procedures and customer service. Establish service contracts with major clients (police, businesses) for regular maintenance and monitoring. Advertise services through server announcements or in-game advertising systems. Track installations to identify high-value areas where additional cameras might be sold. Manage employee territories to optimize response times for service calls.

Permission System Details

The permission configuration allows precise control over camera access. Assign viewing rights to individual player IDs for private security setups, grant access to entire jobs (e.g., all police officers can view police cameras), create organization-based access for gang or business group monitoring, or set public access for certain cameras. Change permissions at any time without reinstalling cameras. This flexibility supports scenarios like selling access subscriptions, emergency permission grants, or revoking access from terminated employees.

Encryption & Authorization

This script uses encrypted server files with remote credential loading through an automated system. After purchase, fill out your server credentials correctly in the configuration. The authorization system requires up to 24 hours to validate your purchase and enable the script. If you experience authorization issues beyond 24 hours after purchase finalization, contact support through proper channels with your purchase information and server details. This protection system prevents unauthorized distribution while ensuring legitimate buyers receive full functionality.

Requirements & Dependencies

The script requires es_extended (ESX framework) version v1-final or lower for core functionality. It depends on esx_inventoryhud with society_storage components for inventory and company storage management. If you use a different inventory system, you'll need to modify the storage code sections to match your inventory's API. Basic MySQL/MariaDB database access is required for camera data persistence. A basic understanding of ESX job systems helps with configuration and integration into your existing server economy.

Configuration Options

Server owners can customize job salary ranges, installation costs and pricing recommendations, camera break-down frequency for maintenance calls, maximum camera count per player or organization, camera rendering distance and quality settings, invoice format and required information, employee rank permissions and hierarchy, tablet UI colors and branding, and integration with existing security or surveillance systems. The config file provides extensive comments explaining each option's impact on gameplay and economy balance.
