Take a look at these notes from the Lisboa Summer School Course on Crossed Product $ C^{*} $-Algebras written by N. Christopher Phillips, available here. The following information is taken from there.
Let $ G $ be a locally compact group. A $ G $-covariant system is defined as a triple $ (G,A,\alpha) $, where $ A $ is a $ C^{*} $-algebra and $ \alpha: G \to \operatorname{Aut}(A) $ a strongly continuous action of $ G $ on $ A $ by $ * $-automorphisms.
Definition. Let $ G $ be a locally compact group. Let $ (G,A,\alpha),(G,B,\beta) $ be $ G $-covariant systems. Then a morphism from $ (G,A,\alpha) $ to $ (G,B,\beta) $ is defined as a $ * $-homomorphism $ \phi: A \to B $ that is equivariant (or $ G $-equivariant, if the group must be specified) for $ \alpha $ and $ \beta $, i.e.,
$$
\forall g \in G: \quad
\phi \circ \alpha_{g} = \beta_{g} \circ \phi.
$$
The class of $ G $-covariant systems, together with their morphisms, forms a category.
The crossed-product and reduced-crossed-product constructions are functorial by the following:
Theorem. Let $ G $ be a locally compact group. Let $ (G,A,\alpha),(G,B,\beta) $ be $ G $-covariant systems. Then for every morphism $ \phi: (G,A,\alpha) \to (G,B,\beta) $, there is a $ * $-homomorphism
$$
\psi: {C_{c}}(G,A,\alpha) \to {C_{c}}(G,B,\beta)
$$
given by the formula
$$
\forall f \in {C_{c}}(G,A,\alpha), ~ \forall g \in G: \quad
[\psi(f)](g) = \phi(f(g)).
$$
This extends by continuity to a $ * $-homomorphism $ {L^{1}}(G,A,\alpha) \to {L^{1}}(G,B,\beta) $, and finally on to $ * $-homomorphisms
$$
{C^{*}}(G,A,\alpha) \to {C^{*}}(G,B,\beta) \qquad \text{and} \qquad
{C_{\operatorname{r}}^{*}}(G,A,\alpha) \to {C_{\operatorname{r}}^{*}}(G,B,\beta).
$$
This makes both the crossed-product and reduced-crossed-product constructions functors from the category of $ G $-covariant systems, for a fixed $ G $, to the category of $ C^{*} $-algebras.
