What these pages describe
Each page below covers one activity you could record: what the footage shows, which permissions you need and how pay works. You won't find a live project, a start date, a number of places or an end date on any of them. None of that exists until we propose a project to you.
You record alongside the work you already do. A cook keeps cooking and a shop assistant keeps restocking; we pay for the footage of that work. You apply once, on the collector page, and list the activities you can record. There's no fee to apply, and you never pay for equipment.
Browse by activity
Pick the activity closest to what you already do. At work means a workplace, and the owner or manager has to agree in writing. At home means your own home. Gameplay uses no camera at all: it records the screen and your inputs.

What collectors record
There are three kinds of footage, and each project tells you which one it needs:
- Residential footage covers chores and meals in your own home, filmed with a small camera on a head strap or cap.
- Commercial footage covers tasks at your workplace during a normal shift, with the same kind of camera.
- Gaming footage is the game screen with every keyboard, mouse or controller input in sync. It has no camera, voice, chat or gamer handles.
For framing and light in physical work, see the guide on how to record first-person video. Gameplay works differently, and the guide to getting paid to record gameplay explains how.
- Pay is USD 5–15 per hour of accepted footage; it varies by project and is not guaranteed.F1b
- Review usually takes about a week, with a contractual limit of 30 days. Payment usually arrives within 7 days of acceptance, with a contractual limit of 60 days.F8, F7
- Collectors are paid in US dollars (USD) through Wise.F9, F9b
- Rejected footage is not paid.F11
- There is no fee to apply, and no coding or AI background is needed.F2
- No English is needed: instructions and support are in Spanish and Portuguese.F12
- You never pay for equipment: the project provides it, or the task needs no special equipment.F3b
Permissions and privacy
Everyone who can be identified in the footage signs a release. At a workplace you also need written permission from the owner or manager. A person under 18 can appear only with a release from a parent or guardian; without one, we reject and delete the footage. Collectors must be 18 or older.
We don't use the footage for face or voice recognition, and our datasets never include collectors' names, contact or payment details. For releases and workplace permission, read the guide to privacy and consent at work.

How to tell a work type from a fake job
A work-type page describes an activity. It isn't an offer of work. Be wary of anyone who asks you to pay to start, to buy equipment or to deposit money before a withdrawal. The guide to AI training job scams lists the warning signs. For what different AI training work involves, see the comparison of recording and labeling jobs.
