An AJP file formatted as .ajp can vary widely by source, most commonly a CCTV/DVR export storing video in a proprietary format that is incompatible with VLC/WMP, created when someone exports footage from a chosen camera and timeframe to removable media, and usually accompanied by a special viewer like a Backup Player / AJP Player that can open and occasionally convert it.

If an AJP file didn’t originate from DVR footage, it may instead stem from old software like Anfy Applet Generator or CAD/CAM applications such as Alphacam, so it’s not video, and you can usually pinpoint the type by looking at file size and folder structure—CCTV AJPs are massive, often accompanied by viewer programs, whereas project-style AJPs are relatively small and stored next to web or CAD resources, and by checking Properties or safely viewing it in a text editor, readable text hints at a project/config file while mostly unreadable symbols indicate a binary DVR container.

To open an .AJP file, you need a method that fits its origin, since Windows and typical video software can’t interpret it properly, 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 no bundled player exists, the next approach is identifying the DVR brand/model 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 you enjoyed this post and you would certainly such as to obtain additional info relating to AJP file support kindly browse through our own site. If the AJP isn’t from a DVR or camera setup, it may serve as a project file for older animation/applet programs or a CAD/CAM environment, and in those cases you must open it with the same program that generated it, so look through the folder for indicators like tool names, documentation, or related extensions, then install the matching app and open the file there, keeping in mind that smaller AJP files generally mean project data while huge ones typically point to CCTV exports.

If you prefer, you can paste the AJP’s size along with names of nearby files or a screenshot, and I can almost always tell whether it’s CCTV-related and advise which playback tool will open it.
