Devices & Reports

Three devices, one battery, one paper. Item names and definitions: Items. The voice changer has its own page: Voice & Voice Changer.

#Hidden camera

A camera worn on the clothes. While it is on, scans run faster, the memory lasts far longer, and the camera keeps a recording that you can print as a paper report from the F3 menu.

A camera scan also extends the learning range: Config.Scan.CameraDistance (7 m) instead of the usual 5 m.

#Printing camera recordings

No paper drops into your pockets by itself. A camera recording waits in the F3 menu until you print it.

1. Switch the hidden camera on (use the item). While it records, the HUD shows REC with the camera's own % next to it, for example REC 25%. The number turns green at Config.Scan.MinSavePct (50 %): from then on the recording can be printed.
2. Press F3 → Camera recordings. The list shows your recordings of the last 24 hours, newest first, without names — only the scene line, for example "Saw him on camera on Vinewood Blvd in the evening". Looks that are still running are at the top as Recording now · n%.
3. Choose one with UP / DOWN and press Enter. A 3-second Printing... bar runs and you get the paper. Each recording prints once.

You do not have to stop the look or walk away: a look that is still running can be printed as soon as the camera has seen 50 %. The look keeps running after the print, and its end does not make a second paper.

Gray rows in the list (the list refreshes by itself every few seconds):

What players can see:

F3 → Stop looking ends every scan and quiet look at once, the camera look included. What the camera saw up to then is kept as usual.

#FailedRecognitionMemory

A recognise scan that stayed below the act line — the person is in a look you already know, and you still did not place them:

A disguised person is no longer this case: that scan is a stranger scan and lands on the disguise memory it matches best, or starts a new one. See Memory & Familiarity.

#Magnetic scanner

A hand wand that beeps near hidden electronics on people around you.

Beeps use GTA frontend sounds:

Sounds = {
    weak   = { name = 'Beep_Red', set = 'DLC_HEIST_HACKING_SNAKE_SOUNDS', count = 1 },
    strong = { name = 'Beep_Red', set = 'DLC_HEIST_HACKING_SNAKE_SOUNDS', count = 3 },
}

#Device housekeeping

#Police jobs

Who counts as police decides who gets a memory from a camera report, who can be sent statements, and who sees the "possible match" hint line.

Both lists ship with 'police' only, because that is the one police job stock QBCore, Qbox and ESX all have. config.lua keeps a commented example line under each list. Remove the -- to use it, or type your own departments:

Police = { 'police' },
-- Police = { 'police', 'sheriff', 'fib' },   -- example: add your other departments

recognition:selftest checks both lists against your framework's jobs:

Names are compared the way the police check compares them: upper and lower case do not matter, so 'Police' is the police job. When a row is a WARN and nothing failed, the last line reads self-test: no check failed (1 warning(s), see above).

#Camera reports

#MDT options

Used only by the MDT selected in Config.MDTSystem. Names are case-sensitive.

Config.MDT = {
    ['lb-tablet']     = { Mdt = 'Police', TabId = 'reports', TextFieldId = 'description' },
    ['tk_mdt']        = { Page = 'police' },
    ['redutzu-mdt']   = {},
    ['drx_mdt']       = {},
    ['origen_police'] = { Job = 'police' },
    ['wasabi_mdt']    = {},
}

#Inventory fallbacks

Not every inventory can store item metadata. Where one cannot, the script keeps the device identity in its own table and the item is just a token:

#Introduce, describe, statements, mirror

These are not devices, but they share the paper item.

#Introduce

#The picker

The small list of remembered people (labels only — no percentages, no timers) used by Describe and Statement.

#Describe

Tell a friend what someone looked like. They get a weak memory — never enough to act.

#Witness statements

#Mirror check
