Collector opportunity
First-Person Video Data Collector - Mexico
First-person video data collection in Mexico is paid remote work recording everyday hand-object tasks from your own point of view. TrueLabel is accepting Mexico-based collectors to capture approved tasks with a phone-mounted or wearable setup at $18 per approved hour of usable footage, paid through a twice-weekly queue after machine and human review.
Before you apply
In this Mexicocollector opportunity, you record approved task footage that shows how everyday actions happen from the collector's point of view. The footage helps physical AI and robotics teams learn from real hand-object motion, device framing, surfaces, and task flow rather than from staged or synthetic examples.
Start by reviewing the opportunity details below, then use our background pages on first-person video data, hand-object interaction data, and egocentric video privacy and consent to understand why stable framing, raw uploads, and privacy discipline matter before you submit a sample.

What you will record
You record first-person video of everyday hand-object tasks from your own point of view, framing follows your hands rather than a fixed tripod. Useful footage keeps hands, objects, tools, surfaces, and motion visible from the start of each approved task through its completed state, captured in landscape 1080p at 30 FPS or higher with no edits.
| Task area | Examples |
|---|---|
| Kitchen tasks | Dish cleanup, food prep, sorting utensils, organizing pantry items |
| Home organization | Folding laundry, arranging shelves, packing and unpacking objects |
| Desk work | Writing, tool use, cable organization, small object manipulation |
| Shopping flow | Picking up approved household items, bagging, unpacking, sorting |
| Tool handling | Safe handheld tool use where hands, tool, and work surface stay visible |
Requirements
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Device | iPhone 12 or newer, recent Android phone, or approved wearable/action camera |
| Mount | Head mount or chest mount that keeps both hands and objects visible |
| Video | Landscape orientation, 1080p minimum, 30 FPS minimum |
| Environment | Bright indoor space with low background noise and minimal interruptions |
| Files | Raw uploads only. Do not add filters, captions, music, or edits |
| Availability | Able to complete sample capture within 48 hours after approval |
Review and payment
Every submission is checked for task completion, framing, privacy, file quality, and duplicate content. Accepted footage enters the payment queue. If a submission needs a reshoot, the review note will explain what to fix.
| Outcome | Rule |
|---|---|
| Accepted | Clear first-person view, stable framing, useful task motion, no private information visible |
| Needs reshoot | Hands leave frame, objects are blocked, task instructions are incomplete, or lighting is weak |
| Rejected | Faces, IDs, documents, screens, unsafe activity, staged/idle footage, or edited files |
| Paid | Accepted first-person hours are paid at $18 USD/hour through the twice-weekly queue. Rejected or duplicate footage is not eligible |
How to apply
- 01
Submit profile
Share your Mexico location, phone model and mount, brief language, weekly availability, and payout method. This takes a few minutes.
- 02
Record sample
Record one short hand-object capture so the team can verify eye-line framing, lighting, and that you follow the brief step order.
- 03
Get approved
Once the sample passes, you see eligible first-person tasks and can claim work as matching Mexico opportunities open.
- 04
Upload footage
Submit raw landscape files through TrueLabel and track review, acceptance, and twice-weekly payout from your collector account.
Privacy and safety
First-person framing points the camera at whatever your hands touch, so private information is easy to capture by accident: before recording, clear payment cards, government IDs, mail with addresses, phone and laptop screens, and prescription labels from the table. Keep faces, children, and bystanders out of frame, record only safe everyday tasks, and if something sensitive slips in, stop and start a fresh take rather than uploading it.
- Clear the table first: remove payment cards, IDs, mail with addresses, and prescription labels before your hands enter frame.
- Angle the phone away from TVs, monitors, and laptop screens so no display text is captured.
- Keep faces, children, and bystanders out of frame; record only your own hands completing the task.
- If something sensitive slips in, stop and start a fresh take rather than uploading it.
- Record only safe everyday tasks in Mexico spaces where you have permission, and upload raw files only.

FAQ
Do I need previous AI data collection experience?
No prior data-collection experience is required for this Mexico opportunity. You need a suitable phone, a stable head or chest mount, a safe well-lit capture space, and the ability to follow detailed recording instructions in the brief. The short hand-object sample exists precisely so first-time collectors can prove framing and instruction-following before any paid task opens.
Can I record other people?
No. First-person capture should show only your own hands completing the task, with faces, bystanders, children, IDs, documents, addresses, and screens kept out of frame. Because the camera follows your hands in busy home and market-stall spaces, position yourself so household members and passers-by stay behind the lens before you press record.
How do I get paid for first-person footage in Mexico?
TrueLabel pays $18 USD per approved hour of usable footage. Each upload runs through machine checks then a human reviewer; accepted hours join a twice-weekly payout queue, while reshoot or rejected clips are not paid. You confirm a supported payout method during onboarding and track every hour's status in your collector account.
What happens after I apply?
TrueLabel reviews your Mexico eligibility, phone and mount, and availability, usually within a few business days. You contribute as an independent contributor who is 18 or older, and no Mexican business registration is required to start. If you match, you record one short hand-object sample; once it passes the framing and instruction check, paid first-person tasks open for you to claim.
Is this the same as data labeling?
No. Data labeling annotates files that already exist. This is data collection: you create new first-person video of real hand-object tasks that TrueLabel may later review, filter, label, or package for physical AI projects. Your job is the capture, not the annotation.
Can I apply from outside Mexico?
This opportunity reviews Mexico-based collectors who can record in spaces where they have permission and are 18 or older. TrueLabel runs separate United States, Canada, and wider LatAm opportunities, so apply to the network once and you are considered wherever your location is eligible.
