Nowadays, it is easy to find spaces with video camera networks installed. These video camera networks are mainly used for archive and surveillance but can be used for other purposes such as guiding visits, remote visiting and gaming. This work aims to propose an infrastructure to facilitate the creation of these applications. Augmented Reality provides additional information and means to create a virtual environment that meets the user's interests and encourages exploring a space. With the use of a wireless network, augmented video streams from surveillance cameras can be delivered to mobile devices. These are used to guide a visit, provide extra information or as a tool to interact with the space, other visitors and virtual objects and characters. Remote visiting in the form of telepresence can be offered by visualizing the augmented video streams, making a remote user experience as close as possible to the real visit to the space.
