Systems and methods for capturing and displaying media during an event

A system, comprising:

• a computing device;
• a display device;
• a plurality of camera devices, each camera device being configured at a location of an event and comprising a global positioning module (GPS) operable to identify the camera device's location;
• a wireless router;
• and
• a server communicatively coupled to the computing device, the display device, and the camera devices through the wireless router using a secure wireless protocol that establishes a secure local area network (LAN) to prevent intrusion to the computing device, the display device, the camera devices, and the server by devices or systems that are external to the LAN,
• wherein the server is operable to receive images captured by the camera devices over the LAN, to compress the images, and to transfer the compressed images to the computing device for vetting, and to display vetted images on the display device, and
• wherein the server is further operable to detect activity at the event based on a number of images being captured by a first of the camera devices, to direct at least a portion of the camera devices of the plurality to automatically capture an image of a scene of the activity, to identify a feature in the images of the scene captured by the portion of the camera devices, to stitch the images of the scene into a single image, to transfer the single image to the computing device for vetting, and to display the single image on the display device during the event after vetting by the computing device.
