Not a plug and play.
For an accurate replay system you need a minimum of 7 cameras.....
Midfield (1)
Goal Lines (2)
Sidelines (2)
20 yard-lines (2)
Anything less and you get yourself into situations where you can't possibly get the angles necessary and have to start making exceptions to what is and isn't reviewable. Too much to deal with rules-wise for one game a year.
Add the camera operators, the production crew in the truck, the man upstairs, video monitors upstairs, and all the trimmings, and you have instant replay capabilities.....
And a ton of cost that goes with it. This isn't AV club or local cable access personnel that's operating this.
Replay is not viable and not practical at the High School level.
