Tactical entries in FiveM usually skip straight to breaching because there’s no way to gather information first. A SWAT team stacking on a door has zero intel on what’s inside — so they go in blind, which removes the decision-making that makes tactical RP interesting. This snake cam script adds that missing pre-entry phase: officers deploy the camera beneath a door and get a live feed of what’s on the other side before anyone crosses the threshold.

It’s a free resource, which makes the operational upside straightforward to evaluate. SWAT and SRT units get a tool that meaningfully changes how hostage situations and armed standoffs play out. Patrol officers benefit too — checking whether a property is occupied before a welfare check entry is exactly the kind of realistic procedural detail that separates an average police department from one players actually want to join.

Key Features

• Live camera feed rendered from beneath the door — not a static preview
• Automatic door detection reads nearby doors without manual target selection
• Configurable allowed and blocked doors — restrict to logical entry points per server
• Camera angle adjustable per door for accurate sight lines
• Custom keybind configuration for camera deploy and retract
• Compatible with ox_inventory item requirements if you want to gate usage behind a deployable item
• 0.02ms active resource usage — negligible even during extended reconnaissance

Framework Compatibility

Works with ESX, QBCore, Qbox, and ox_inventory. Free to use on any server.

The blocked-door configuration matters more than it sounds. Without it, players will use the camera through walls or on doors where the geometry makes the feed angle nonsensical. Take ten minutes on first install to define which doors make sense, and the script stays immersive rather than becoming an exploit. Rated 4.5/5 across eight reviews.
