At-Home Video Recorder

What you would do

• Record video footage of everyday household chores from a first-person perspective using your smartphone mounted in a head strap
• Perform household tasks according to project guidelines, maintaining synchronized and stable video throughout recording sessions
• Complete a device compatibility check during onboarding to verify your smartphone meets technical specifications
• Ensure submitted video footage meets project quality standards including framing, duration, and compliance with recording guidelines
• Track hours of usable recorded video and submit recordings for hourly compensation

Who they want

• Resident of a qualifying U.S. state (Alabama through Wyoming; see listing for full eligibility list)
• Possess a compatible device: iPhone 12+, Google Pixel 6-9, or Samsung Galaxy S21+
• Comfort wearing head strap equipment while performing household tasks and repetitive movements
• Eligibility to work in the US and ability to complete identity verification within 48 hours of being contacted

Main skills

What the interview asks about

1. 1.First-person perspective consistency

   The video must authentically capture activity from the performer's viewpoint, not fixed angles. You need to maintain this perspective naturally while performing real household tasks.

   For example: “Recording dishwashing: how do you maintain consistent camera angle as you bend low and reach high? What mistakes get videos rejected?”

2. 2.Device technical requirements

   Your phone must pass a compatibility check and produce video meeting technical specs for resolution, frame rate, and file format. You need to understand what your device can do.

   For example: “iPhone 12 with sync video requirements: will it pass compatibility check, and what settings need verification before first recording?”

3. 3.Head strap wear and safety

   You'll wear mounting equipment for hours while performing household tasks. You need to assess both comfort and whether the setup stays stable during repetitive movements.

   For example: “Recording laundry (wash, dry, fold): what stability and comfort concerns do you anticipate wearing the head strap through these tasks?”

4. 4.Household task variety documentation

   The training dataset needs diverse household activities. You should be able to identify what types of tasks are suitable for recording and understand the practical constraints.

   For example: “Choose between cooking, cleaning, organizing, yard work or laundry for filming. Which offers stable first-person angles and which poses challenges?”

5. 5.Project guideline compliance

   Your submissions are only compensated if they meet project specifications. You need to understand what makes video submittable versus rejectable.

   For example: “Three recorded hours: one has glare, one has jerky movement, one is clean. Which would you submit and why?”

6. 6.Physical capability and repetition

   This role involves sustained physical activity while wearing equipment. You need realistic self-assessment of whether you can perform the work safely without injury.

   For example: “You have shoulder injury pain with overhead movement. Could you record window cleaning or high shelf work? When should you tell the employer?”

A task you may get

Film 5-10 minutes of first-person video performing two household tasks (tidying and meal prep) wearing the head strap. Note technical or practical challenges.

How to prepare

• Verify your smartphone model against the list of compatible devices and check your device's video recording capabilities (resolution, frame rate, storage)
• Set up a head strap or phone mount and wear it while performing a normal household activity to assess comfort and stability
• Identify 3-5 household tasks you regularly perform that would work well for first-person video recording and think about potential camera angle challenges
• Review your location eligibility and confirm you're in one of the designated states for this remote work opportunity
