An AJP file .ajp may represent several formats, most commonly a CCTV/DVR export storing video in a proprietary format that common media tools can’t open, 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 come from a camera system, it may show up as a project/save file from older tools like Anfy Applet Generator for Java-based website animations or appear in CAD/CAM contexts such as Alphacam, meaning it isn’t video, and you can usually identify which kind you have by checking file size and nearby files—CCTV exports are typically hundreds of MB to GB and may sit beside backup utilities or viewer executables, while project-style AJP files are generally lighter and appear with website or CAD/CAM assets, and a quick check of the file’s Properties or a safe peek in a text editor (without saving) can reveal readable text for project/config files versus mostly unreadable binary data for DVR containers.
For those who have virtually any concerns about in which and also tips on how to work with AJP file viewer, you are able to e-mail us with the page. To open an .AJP file, the right solution is based on where it came from because Windows and everyday media players don’t recognize AJP formats on their own, and when the file is from a CCTV/DVR backup, the safest method is to launch the bundled viewer/player—often included in the same export folder and named something like Player.exe or BackupPlayer.exe—then load the AJP inside that tool and use its built-in export or convert option to obtain a normal video file like MP4 or AVI.
If the export folder doesn’t include a viewer, the best option is to identify 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 your AJP didn’t come from a camera system, it may belong to an older project/animation tool or a CAD/CAM workflow, meaning it opens only in the software that created it, so the best approach is to inspect the source folder for clues—such as app names, readme files, project folders, or CAD-related extensions like DXF/DWG—then install that application and load the AJP from within it, using file size as a hint since large files usually indicate CCTV footage while smaller ones suggest project/config data.
If you want quicker identification, just send the file size and a few folder filenames (or a screenshot), and I can usually determine its origin and guide you to the right viewer/player.
