An AJP file using .ajp varies with its source, 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 hundreds of MB or GB, often packaged with viewer apps, while project-based AJP files are relatively tiny 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, you need a method that matches its creator, since Windows and typical video software don’t know how to open it, and if it’s a CCTV/DVR export, your best bet is the viewer/player supplied with the footage—often located in the same folder and named something like Player.exe or BackupPlayer.exe—which you can launch to load the AJP and then use its built-in export/convert tools to save out an MP4 or AVI.

If you have any questions relating to where and how you can use AJP file recovery, you can contact us at the web site. If the export folder doesn’t include a viewer, the best option is to confirm the DVR/NVR brand or viewing software and get the official CMS/VMS or backup tool, as those clients often provide the only functional AJP decoder; after installation, run the client (not the AJP directly), choose its Open/Playback/Local File option, and load the footage, and if exporting isn’t supported, the only remaining workaround is a full-screen screen recording, which is slow but sometimes required.

If the AJP file doesn’t trace back to a DVR, it may represent older animation/app-creation tools or CAD/CAM workflows, requiring the same program that made it, so look around its folder for identifying app names, documentation, or related file types like DXF/DWG, then open it inside the correct software, noting that file size can guide you—tiny files usually mean project/config content, while huge ones are often CCTV backups.

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 figure out the proper format and recommend the most likely working player.
