Question 1

What is a FiveM CAD system?

Accepted Answer

A FiveM CAD (Computer-Aided Dispatch) system is software that powers emergency dispatch, MDT lookups, records management and roleplay operations for a FiveM roleplay server. It connects to your FiveM game server so dispatchers, police, EMS and fire units can take 911 calls, run people and vehicles, manage warrants and BOLOs, and coordinate response in real time.

Question 2

Does CDE CAD work with ESX, QBCore and vRP?

Accepted Answer

Yes. CDE CAD is framework-agnostic and integrates with ESX, QBCore (qb-core) and vRP servers, as well as standalone and custom FiveM frameworks. Integration is done through a lightweight FiveM resource and a REST/WebSocket API, so identifiers, jobs and characters from your existing framework sync into the CAD.

Question 3

How much does CDE CAD cost?

Accepted Answer

CDE CAD plans start at $15 per month on annual billing or $19.99 per month on monthly billing. Every plan includes all 215+ features with unlimited users, unlimited departments and unlimited connected FiveM and Discord servers. Volume discounts are available for 3, 6 and 12-month commitments.

Question 4

What features are included in CDE CAD?

Accepted Answer

CDE CAD includes real-time 911 dispatch, police MDT, EMS MDT, fire MDT, judicial and court system, DMV bureau, civilian portal, AI auto-dispatch with TTS radio, live GPS map, BOLO and warrant management, business directory, community showcase pages, Discord OAuth login, REST API, WebSocket events, audit logs, multi-community support and 200+ more features. There are no feature tiers — every plan includes everything.

Question 5

How do you connect CDE CAD to a FiveM server?

Accepted Answer

After signing up, you generate an API key from the Admin Panel, install the CDE CAD FiveM resource on your server and configure it with the API key and your community ID. The resource handles 911 calls, in-game tablet access, panic buttons, location sync and identifier mapping for ESX, QBCore or vRP. Setup typically takes under 10 minutes.

Question 6

Is CDE CAD self-hosted or cloud-based?

Accepted Answer

CDE CAD is a fully managed, cloud-hosted SaaS — there is nothing to install on your own infrastructure beyond the lightweight FiveM resource. The CAD itself runs in any modern browser at your custom domain or on cdecad.com, with 99.9% uptime and sub-50ms WebSocket latency.

Question 7

What is the difference between a CAD and an MDT in FiveM?

Accepted Answer

In FiveM the CAD (Computer-Aided Dispatch) is the dispatcher-facing tool that manages 911 calls, units, BOLOs and the live map, while the MDT (Mobile Data Terminal) is the unit-facing tool used by police, EMS and fire to run lookups, write reports, view warrants and update their status. CDE CAD provides both in a single integrated platform.
