DashCam Settings

lua

Config.DashCam = {
    enabled = true,

    fov = 70.0,
    defaultAngle = "front",
    cameraHeight = 0.5,
    cameraDistanceFront = 0.2,
    cameraDistanceRear = 0.2,

    filter = "CAMERA_secuirity",
    filterStrength = 0.7,
    noise = 0.1,

    overlay = {
        scanlines   = false,
        vignette    = true,
        corners     = true,
        timestamp   = true,
        speedometer = true,
        plateNumber = true,
    },

    recording = {
        enabled = true,
        maxDurationSeconds = 300,
        maxRecordingsPerPlayer = 20,
    },

    focusKey = "F9",

}

Top-Level Fields

Field	Type	Default	Description
enabled	boolean	true	Master toggle
fov	number	70.0	Field of view
defaultAngle	string	"front"	"front" or "rear"
cameraHeight	number	0.5	Meters above vehicle roof
cameraDistanceFront	number	0.2	Meters ahead of front bumper
cameraDistanceRear	number	0.2	Meters behind rear bumper

Visual Filter

Same options as Security Camera — see Camera Settings → Visual Filter:

lua

filter = "CAMERA_secuirity"
filterStrength = 0.7
noise = 0.1

DashCam typically uses a lighter filter strength (0.7 vs the security cam's 1.0) since you're driving and want to see the road clearly. Set filter = false for a fully clean view.

NUI Overlay

Two extra overlay options the security cam doesn't have:

lua

overlay = {
    scanlines   = false,        -- usually OFF for dashcam (less stylized)
    vignette    = true,
    corners     = true,
    timestamp   = true,
    speedometer = true,         -- live speed display on overlay
    plateNumber = true,         -- vehicle plate on overlay
}

Field	Description
scanlines	Horizontal scan lines (off by default for dashcam)
vignette	Dark edges
corners	Corner bracket markers
timestamp	Date/time display
speedometer	DashCam-only — live km/h overlay
plateNumber	DashCam-only — vehicle plate overlay

Recording

Identical to security camera:

lua

recording = {
    enabled = true,
    maxDurationSeconds = 300,
    maxRecordingsPerPlayer = 20,
}

Upload provider settings live in Server Config.

Focus Key

Because the dashcam UI overlays the screen while you're driving, you need a way to gain mouse focus to interact with buttons (start/stop recording, switch angle) without pausing the car. The focus key handles this:

lua

focusKey = "F9"
focusCommand = "dashcam_focus"
focusBindDescription = "Toggle DashCam Focus"

Field	Default	Description
focusKey	"F9"	Default keybind
focusCommand	"dashcam_focus"	Chat command (also used internally for keymap)
focusBindDescription	"Toggle DashCam Focus"	Description in FiveM keybind UI

Press F9 (or your rebind) once to gain mouse focus and click buttons; press again to release focus and continue driving.

Permissions

lua

jobs = {},
discordRoles = {},

See Permission System.

Module Toggle

Option	Default	Description
Config.Modules.DashCam	true	Show dashcam module
Config.DashCam.enabled	true	Same toggle (deeper level)
Config.DockButtons.dashCam	true	Show dashcam dock button
