A file with AVE extension contains video, audio, camera, embedded events data of a footage recorded by one or multiple surveillance cameras. Player, Avigilon's solution for playing AVE files render's the video contents of an AVE file in image panels to enable analysts control the video's playback and timeline in order to confirm that no one has tampered with the video.
