An AJP file saved under .ajp can refer to different formats depending on origin, most commonly appearing in CCTV/DVR workflows where footage is exported in a proprietary format that won’t run in VLC or WMP, produced when a user selects a channel and time frame and exports to USB or disc, often paired with a viewer tool like a Backup Player / AJP Player for playback and optional conversion.

If the file wasn’t generated by a camera system, an AJP may belong to older software like Anfy Applet Generator or show up in CAD/CAM workflows such as Alphacam and therefore isn’t video, and you can usually tell which type you have by comparing file size and companion files—CCTV exports are often hundreds of MB or more and may include viewer programs, while project-style AJP files are compact and appear with web or CAD assets, and checking Properties or opening it in a text editor briefly can show readable text for project files versus gibberish-like binary for DVR footage.

To open an .AJP file, you need a method that matches its creator, 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 the file wasn’t produced by a camera system, it may serve as a saved/project file for older animation tools or CAD/CAM platforms, which means it opens only through the original application, so investigate nearby files for names or extensions that reveal its creator, install that software, and open the file from within it, remembering that small files generally suggest project data while very large ones point to DVR 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 confirm if it’s a DVR export and advise which playback tool will open it.
