ANPR Installation & Setup

Setting up the MTM-ANPR system on your FiveM server requires a few straightforward steps. Follow this guide to import database schemas, configure external Discord CDN storage, and adjust essential resource parameters.

Prerequisites & Dependencies

Section titled “Prerequisites & Dependencies”

Ensure your server environment has the following resources installed and operational before starting MTM-ANPR:

Dependency Purpose Minimum Version
oxmysql Asynchronous database connection engine v2.4.0+
MTM-CORE Core gizmo and math library for 3D camera pole placement Latest
screenshot-basic High-resolution WebGL camera perspective buffer capture Latest
Database Server MySQL / MariaDB server MariaDB 10.4+ / MySQL 5.7+

Installation Process

Section titled “Installation Process”

  1. Extract Resource Files Extract the downloaded .zip archive from Keymaster directly into your server’s resources/ folder. Ensure the folder name remains MTM-ANPR.

  2. Execute Database SQL Schema Open your database management client (HeidiSQL, DBeaver, or phpMyAdmin) and execute the database.sql script located in the root of the MTM-ANPR folder:

    SOURCE C:/FXServer/resources/MTM-ANPR/database.sql;

  3. Configure Discord Webhook for Photographic Evidence The ANPR system utilizes Discord as an external content delivery network (CDN) for vehicle infraction photos:

    1. In your Discord server, open your desired evidence channel settings.
    2. Navigate to Integrations -> Webhooks -> New Webhook.
    3. Copy the generated Webhook URL.
    4. Open shared/config.lua and insert the URL into Config.DiscordWebhook: 
      Config.DiscordWebhook = "https://discord.com/api/webhooks/1234567890/abcdefghij..."

  4. Verify Framework & Speed Unit Settings Open shared/config.lua to review key operational parameters:

    • Set Config.SpeedUnit to "kmh" or "mph".
    • Verify Config.AllowedJobs matches your server’s police job names (e.g. { "police", "sheriff", "kmar" }).
    • Confirm Config.Framework is set to "auto" (or explicitly set "qbcore", "esx", "qbx", "vrp", "ox", "standalone").

  5. Configure Boot Sequencing in server.cfg Add the resource to your server.cfg file, ensuring dependencies start prior to the script:

    # Database & Utilities
    ensure oxmysql
    ensure ox_lib
    ensure screenshot-basic
    

    # Framework (Optional - Skip if Standalone)
    ensure qb-core # or es_extended / qbx_core / vrp / ox_core
    

    # MTM Resource Suite
    ensure MTM-CORE
    ensure MTM-ANPR

  6. Start FXServer Launch your FiveM server and check the console output to verify database connectivity and license authorization.

Database Table Structure

Section titled “Database Table Structure”

The database.sql script initializes three dedicated tables:

Table Name Description Key Fields
anpr_poles Stores deployed camera locations, rotation, speed limits, and detection radii. id, name, coords, heading, speed_limit, detection_range
anpr_bolos Stores the active watchlist of wanted vehicles, suspect descriptions, and priority levels. id, plate, model, reason, priority, notes, officer
anpr_scans Stores historical vehicle passings, timestamps, calculated speeds, locations, and image URLs. id, plate, model, speed, street, postal, image_url, created_at

Essential Configuration Summary

Section titled “Essential Configuration Summary”
-- Primary speed measurement standard ("kmh" or "mph")
Config.SpeedUnit = "kmh"


-- System interface language ("en" or "nl")
Config.Language = "en"


-- Authorized job roles for tablet and camera placement
Config.AllowedJobs = { "police", "sheriff" }


-- Scanning filter mode: "all" or "only_bolo_and_speeding"
Config.ScanningFilterMode = "all"


-- Bypass ambient non-player NPC traffic (true = player-driven vehicles only)
Config.IgnoreNPCVehicles = true
