Abstract
An image capture system for a venue includes fixed image capture areas spaced throughout the venue. Each fixed image capture area includes at least one camera, and a kiosk coupled to the at least one camera. The kiosk includes an identification (ID) reader to read a guest ID presented by a guest, and a processor to activate the at least one camera to take a photo of the guest based on the ID reader reading the guest ID. The processor also links the guest ID with the photo. A server is coupled to the fixed image capture areas to store each photo with the linked guest ID.
