Security Intel: Permanent Camera Cones on Your Minimap

Security Intel is locked behind the six Casino Story Missions, but once you have it, the benefit is large for stealth runs. The mission has you meet ex-employee Vincent at Rockford Plaza, retrieve a stolen Gauntlet Hellfire for him, and deliver a USB drive in exchange. After completion, every security camera's cone of vision shows up on your minimap during the finale.

Walkthrough

Meet VincentDrive to Rockford Plaza shopping center. Vincent is on the upper level near the railing — yellow marker.
Track the HellfireVincent tells you that his car was stolen by Vagos gang members. Lester pings the Hellfire's location, which is usually a Vagos hangout in East Los Santos or Strawberry.
Steal the car backApproach the location. The Hellfire is parked with 6 to 10 Vagos guarding it. Clear them out or sneak in, jack the car, and drive away.
Lose the cops or gangVagos will pursue you in their own vehicles. Sometimes a wanted level triggers as well. Outrun both.
Deliver the HellfireBring the car back to Vincent at Rockford Plaza, undamaged enough for him to accept it. The USB drive is automatically registered.

Tips & Strategy

The Hellfire is fast and well-armored, so chases are easier than they look.
Damage matters slightly — Vincent will still accept a beat-up car, but try to keep it driveable.
If you have not completed the Casino Story Missions, this prep is locked. Story missions take about 90 minutes total and unlock Master Penthouse rewards too.

FAQ

Do I need the Master Penthouse to do Security Intel?

Yes. The story missions that gate Security Intel only unlock after purchasing a Master Penthouse.

Is Security Intel useful on Aggressive?

Less so. Camera cones matter for stealth approaches. Aggressive players can skip this prep.

Does Security Intel work for every heist?

Yes. Once completed, the benefit applies to every finale you run — but you still need to do the prep again per heist.
