MFPD-Bodycam is a comprehensive police body camera simulation resource designed to provide anything from a clean, customizable recording overlay to a more immersive body-worn camera experience. Players can personalize their identification, display, visual style, camera behavior, sounds, animations, and optional Axon-inspired device experience through a modern in-game customizer.

Configuration & Compatibility

• Extensive Server Configuration: Administrators can define the default bodycam appearance, commands, permissions, identification formats, sounds, animations, date and time behavior, bodycam effects, and optional Axon Solutions experience.
• Multi-language Documentation: Configuration options are documented in English, Portuguese (BR), French, German, and Spanish.
• Framework Permissions: Supports Standalone, ESX, ESX_NEW, QBCORE, QBOX, and VRP, with configurable job or group restrictions. QBCore also respects player duty status.
• Standalone Friendly: The bodycam can be used without a roleplay framework, while framework support can be enabled whenever job-based access is required.

Bodycam Overlay

• Multiple Overlay Styles: Choose between an Axon-style bodycam overlay, Motorola-style overlay, or a minimal timestamp-only recording display.
• 9 Position Presets: Quickly position the overlay across the top, middle, or bottom of the screen with left, center, and right alignment options.
• Freeform Layout Editor: Players can directly reposition and resize the bodycam overlay for a completely custom screen layout instead of being restricted to presets.
• Adjustable Overlay Size: Independently scale the bodycam presentation to better fit different resolutions and HUD layouts.
• Full Appearance Customization: Adjust background color, text color, opacity, padding, corner style, transparency, and logo visibility.
• Transparent Mode: Remove the container entirely while keeping the bodycam information visible for a cleaner recording-style appearance.
• Live Preview: Changes can be previewed directly while configuring the bodycam.

Officer Identification

• Dynamic Officer Information: Officer name and unit callsign are automatically populated for new players and can be customized through the in-game interface.
• Configurable Callsign Generation: Automatically generated callsigns can follow server-defined sectors, designators, and unit ranges.
• Authentic Serial Presentation: Supports Axon and Motorola-inspired serial formats, with server-controlled fixed or randomized identification options.
• Dashcam Identity Sync: Players can optionally share their configured officer name and callsign with MFPD-Dashcam for consistent identification between both systems.

Date, Time & Language

• Flexible Date & Time Sources: Independently choose between real-life or in-game time and real-life or in-game dates.
• Multiple Display Formats: Includes ISO, US, European, 12-hour, 24-hour, seconds-enabled, compact, and alternative date/time layouts.
• Multilingual Overlay: Built-in overlay labels support English, Portuguese (BR), French, German, and Spanish.
• Per-Player Preferences: Each player can choose their preferred language, date format, time source, and date source without affecting other users.

Audio & Interaction

• Bodycam Activation Sounds: Realistic activation and shutdown audio can be heard by the officer and nearby players.
• Periodic Recording Tone: Players can optionally enable a recurring bodycam status tone while the camera is active.
• Multiple Bodycam Animations: Several activation animations are included and players can select their preferred interaction style from the customizer.
• Synchronized Experience: Bodycam audio and relevant interactions are presented consistently to nearby players for improved roleplay immersion.

Axon Solutions Experience

• Optional Advanced Simulation: Players can enable a more detailed Axon-inspired body-worn camera experience without replacing the standard MFPD-Bodycam functionality.
• Physical Device Interface: Adds an on-screen Body 3-inspired device display with a dedicated startup sequence, battery indicator, status display, and LED behavior.
• Full Device State Sequence: Simulates the complete camera workflow through startup, ready, recording, saving, and shutdown states.
• Realistic Power Controls: Optional controls allow the camera to use hold-to-power behavior instead of behaving like a simple instant toggle.
• Recording Controls: Supports a simulated double-tap recording action and hold-to-stop behavior, followed by a dedicated saving sequence.
• Signal Sensor: An optional weapon-discharge sensor can automatically power the bodycam through its normal startup sequence and begin recording once the device is ready.
• Battery Simulation: The physical device includes a functional battery percentage that drains while the bodycam is powered.
• Custom Battery Runtime: Players can choose how long their simulated bodycam battery should last, allowing the system to suit short sessions or extended patrols.
• Emergency Vehicle Charging: The powered bodycam automatically recharges while the officer is inside an emergency vehicle.
• Charging Feedback: The device interface visually represents its current battery and charging state.
• Custom Device Placement: Choose the screen corner, size, horizontal position, and vertical position of the physical bodycam display.
• Independent Device Visibility: The physical device interface can be hidden without removing the normal bodycam overlay or disabling the bodycam itself.
• Custom Device Serial: The Axon Solutions display has its own configurable bodycam identification.
• Interaction Animation: An optional chest interaction accompanies recording state changes for additional visual immersion.

Axon Audio Simulation

• Detailed Audio Cues: Includes dedicated startup, ready, shutdown, marker, button, and recording-related sounds.
• Individual Sound Controls: Device sounds can be enabled globally or individually, allowing players to choose exactly which cues they want to hear.
• Configurable Marker Interval: The periodic recording marker can be adjusted to suit the desired level of realism.
• Nearby Audio: Relevant bodycam sounds are also audible to nearby players instead of existing only as private interface audio.

Bodycam View

• Optional Bodycam Perspective: Enable a dedicated head-mounted bodycam viewpoint for a more immersive first-person presentation while the camera is active.
• Aim-Only Mode: The custom bodycam perspective can be limited to weapon aiming, automatically returning to the normal gameplay camera when the player stops aiming.
• Lens & Visual Effects: An optional visual treatment recreates the harsher appearance of body-worn camera footage.
• Bodycam Audio Effect: Optional audio filtering complements the visual treatment for a more convincing recorded-camera experience.
• Gameplay-Aware Behavior: The custom view is designed to preserve normal movement, aiming, weapon use, and multiplayer presentation while active.
• Fully Optional: The traditional MFPD-Bodycam overlay can be used by itself without enabling any custom camera or visual effects.

Automatic Activation

• Shooting Detection: Players can optionally configure the standard bodycam to activate automatically when they fire a weapon.
• Separate Axon Signal Behavior: Servers and players using the Axon Solutions experience can instead use its more immersive startup and recording sequence when a weapon discharge is detected.

MFPD-Dashcam Integration

• Automatic Overlay Management: The bodycam overlay automatically hides while MFPD-Dashcam is active to prevent overlapping camera displays.
• Automatic Restoration: When the dashcam is no longer active, the bodycam display returns automatically if the officer's bodycam is still enabled.
• Shared Officer Identity: Officer name and unit information can optionally remain consistent between MFPD-Bodycam and MFPD-Dashcam.

Profiles & Presets

• Shared Presets: Complete bodycam configurations can be saved as presets and made available to other players on the server.
• Quick Loading: Players can immediately apply an existing shared preset from the customizer.
• Preset Management: Saved presets can be removed directly through the interface with confirmation protection against accidental deletion.
• Restore Defaults: Players can instantly restore the server's configured default bodycam setup whenever required.

Per-Player Persistence

• Persistent Customization: Player preferences are retained between sessions, including officer information, callsign, language, date/time preferences, overlay appearance, layout, animation choice, audio preferences, automation settings, bodycam view options, and Axon Solutions configuration.
• Independent User Experience: Players can personalize their own bodycam without changing the preferred layout or behavior of other officers.

Player-Friendly Controls

• In-Game Customizer: The complete bodycam experience can be configured without requiring players to edit files or leave the game.
• Optional Keybinds: Dedicated controls can be assigned through FiveM's Key Bindings menu, allowing each player to choose the keys that best fit their setup.
• No Forced Axon Controls: Advanced device controls are left unbound by default, preventing conflicts with existing server keybinds.
