An AJP file .ajp depends on the system that made it, most often acting as a CCTV/DVR backup where the device stores video in a proprietary container that is unreadable in VLC or WMP, produced when a user exports a selected channel and time window to a USB stick or disc, and commonly bundled with or requiring a viewer such as a Backup Player / AJP Player to access or convert the footage.
If it didn’t originate from a camera system, an AJP file may instead represent a project file from older tools like Anfy Applet Generator or be tied to CAD/CAM platforms such as Alphacam, in which case it has nothing to do with video, and you can narrow it down by reviewing file size and folder contents—CCTV versions are substantial in size, often packaged with viewer apps, while project-based AJP files are generally small and live among web or CAD resources, and by checking Properties or safely viewing it in a text editor, readable text usually signals a project/config file while unreadable binary points to DVR footage.
To open an .AJP file, the correct method depends entirely on the software or device that created it, since Windows and common media players won’t correctly interpret the proper format, and if the file came from a CCTV/DVR export, the most reliable option is to use the matching viewer/player that accompanies that DVR system, typically found in the same USB/CD/DVD/folder as the AJP and named something like Player.exe, BackupPlayer.exe, or AJPPlayer. If you have any issues regarding in which and how to use AJP file format, you can get hold of us at the web-page. exe, which you can run to load the file and then use its own export or convert feature to produce a standard MP4 or AVI.
If no bundled player exists, the next approach is checking what device generated it so you can download the correct CMS/VMS or backup viewer, since many CCTV formats only decode within their manufacturer’s client; once installed, launch the client first and select Open/Playback/Local File to load the AJP, and if you can watch it but can’t export it, your last-resort option is to record the playback on screen, which lowers clarity but may be necessary.
If the AJP didn’t originate from surveillance equipment, it might come from outdated animation tools or CAD/CAM software, meaning it requires the original application to open it, so check the surrounding folder for hints such as project-related filenames, readmes, or CAD formats like DXF/DWG, then install the correct program and open the file through it, noting that smaller sizes usually fit project files while very large sizes resemble CCTV containers.
If you like, simply tell me the size and list a few of the files in the same folder—or share a screenshot—and I can typically identify the CCTV/DVR type and recommend the most likely working player.
