Smartphone Video Recorder

What you would do

• Wear a head strap and record daily household activities in first-person perspective as instructed
• Execute specified physical tasks within defined timeframes while maintaining proper camera angle and framing
• Submit video files meeting technical requirements for resolution, synchronization, and content accuracy

Who they want

• iPhone 12 or later, Google Pixel 6-9, or Samsung Galaxy S21 or newer smartphone
• Willingness to wear a phone head strap mount during recording periods
• Physical ability to safely perform repetitive movement tasks over multiple sessions
• Eligibility to work in the United States and complete identity verification within 48 hours

Main skills

What the interview asks about

1. 1.Setting up and adjusting head strap mount

   Proper positioning determines whether the camera captures required scene details and movement; poor setup ruins footage despite correct task execution.

   For example: “Your first recording session shows the head strap angled too high, missing hand movements on the table. What adjustments do you make and how do you verify the new angle works before resuming?”

2. 2.Maintaining consistency across sessions

   AI training requires predictable camera positioning and framing across dozens of recording sessions; drift or variation degrades data quality.

   For example: “You recorded a task three days ago and are about to record the same task again. How do you ensure your head position, distance from the work surface, and camera angle match your previous session?”

3. 3.Handling technical issues independently

   Remote work means troubleshooting your own device and setup; delays and resets cost project time and affect your hourly compensation.

   For example: “Midway through a 2-hour session, your video resolution drops to 480p. What steps do you take to diagnose the issue and resume recording at the required quality?”

4. 4.Following exact timing and movement protocols

   AI models need precise, reproducible examples; ad-libbing or skipping steps breaks the training data structure.

   For example: “The project specifies a task sequence: open drawer, retrieve item, place on table, photograph label, return item. You complete it in 45 seconds but the spec calls for 90 seconds. How do you adjust?”

A task you may get

Record a 10-minute sample video of a household task with a phone headmount, demonstrating proper framing, focus, and consistency throughout.

How to prepare

• Test your smartphone camera quality and battery life for extended recording - identify any issues before project start
• Practice wearing the head strap for 30 minutes to assess comfort and determine your optimal head position for clear first-person framing
• Review the project's sample video clips to understand expected camera angles, task pacing, and quality standards
