• capturing live video via at least one camera;
• broadcasting a wireless network via at least one transmitter of one or more transmitters and/or at least one transceiver of one or more transceivers of a video streaming device;
• receiving, at a control system comprising one processor configured to individually perform control system functions or a plurality of processors configured to individually and/or collectively perform control system functions, a first request to connect to the wireless network from a first mobile device in range of the wireless network;
• identifying, via the control system, the first mobile device and/or a user of the first mobile device based on the first request;
• upon identifying the first mobile device and/or the user of the first mobile device, determining, via the control system, whether the first mobile device and/or the user of the first mobile device is authorized to connect to the wireless network;
• upon determining that the first mobile device and/or the user of the first mobile device is authorized to connect to the wireless network, instructing, via the control system, the video streaming device to:
• connect the first mobile device to the wireless network;
• and
• transmit, via at least one transmitter of the one or more transmitters and/or at least one transceiver of the one or more transceivers, a live video feed comprising the live video captured by the at least one camera to the first mobile device.

A control system for a video streaming system, the control system comprising:

• one processor configured to individually perform control system functions or a plurality of processors configured to individually and/or collectively perform control system functions;
• wherein the control system is configured to:
• receive a first request to connect to the wireless network from a first mobile device in range of a wireless network broadcast by a video streaming device of the video streaming system;
• identify the first mobile device and/or a user of the first mobile device based on the first request;
• upon identifying the first mobile device and/or the user of the first mobile device, determine whether the first mobile device and/or the user of the first mobile device is authorized to connect to the wireless network;
• upon determining that the first mobile device and/or the user of the first mobile device is authorized to connect to the wireless network, instruct the video streaming device to:
• connect the first mobile device to the wireless network;
• and
• transmit a live video feed to the first mobile device, the live video feed comprising live video from at least one camera of the video streaming system.
