Collector opportunity
Wearable Camera Data Collector - Canada
Wearable camera data collection in Canada is paid remote work recording hands-free task footage from a head, chest, or action-camera mount. TrueLabel is accepting Canada-based collectors at $24 CAD per approved hour of usable footage, with briefs available in English or French and accepted hours paid through a twice-weekly queue after machine and human review.
Before you apply
In this Canadacollector 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 wear an approved head, chest, or action-camera mount so both hands stay free while you complete each task, which is what separates this from handheld phone capture. The recording follows your point of view through the full activity, showing hand motion and object state changes in landscape or approved wide-angle 1080p at 30 FPS or higher, with in-camera stabilization off and raw files uploaded.
| Task area | Examples |
|---|---|
| Hands-free chores | Cleaning, sorting, assembling, organizing, and moving approved household objects |
| Kitchen workflows | Food prep without private labels, utensil handling, dish cleanup, counter organization |
| Garage or utility tasks | Safe tool handling, arranging bins, measuring, packing, and unpacking |
| Object interaction | Opening, closing, stacking, folding, placing, and comparing approved objects |
| Repeat captures | Approved task variants across surfaces, rooms, lighting, and object types |
Requirements
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Device | Approved wearable camera, action camera, or phone-compatible wearable mount |
| Mount | Head or chest mount that keeps both hands and work surface visible |
| Video | Landscape or approved wide-angle format, 1080p minimum, 30 FPS minimum |
| Environment | Safe private space with clear lighting and no bystanders |
| Files | Raw uploads only. Do not add stabilization, 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 | Stable wearable view, complete task sequence, useful hand-object motion, no private information |
| Needs reshoot | Mount slips, task leaves frame, lighting is weak, or instructions are incomplete |
| Rejected | Faces, IDs, screens, unsafe activity, staged idle footage, duplicate clips, or edited files |
| Paid | Accepted wearable hours are paid at $24 CAD/hour through the twice-weekly queue. Rejected or duplicate footage is not eligible |
How to apply
- 01
Submit profile
Share your Canada location and time zone, wearable or action camera and mount, English or French brief preference, availability, and CAD payout method.
- 02
Record sample
Record one short hands-free wearable sample so the team can verify a level mount, steady framing, and that you follow the brief order.
- 03
Get approved
Once the sample passes, eligible wearable tasks open and you can claim work as matching Canada opportunities appear.
- 04
Upload footage
Submit raw files through TrueLabel and track review, acceptance, and twice-weekly CAD payout from your collector account.
Privacy and safety
A head- or chest-mounted camera films wherever you turn, so a quick walk-through before recording prevents reshoots: pick a path that avoids other household members, screens, mail, IDs, and payment cards, since you cannot reframe a hands-free shot mid-task. Keep faces, children, and bystanders out of frame, record only safe everyday tasks, and if private content enters the view, stop and start a new take rather than uploading it.
- Walk the path before recording, because a hands-free head- or chest-mounted shot cannot be reframed mid-task.
- Pick a route that avoids other household members, screens, mail, IDs, and payment cards.
- Keep faces, children, and bystanders out of frame for the whole hands-free capture.
- Do not apply the action camera's in-app stabilization or smoothing; the review treats it as an edit.
- Record only safe everyday tasks in Canada spaces where you have permission, and upload raw files only.

FAQ
Can I use an action camera?
Yes. An action camera qualifies as long as it sits on a head or chest mount and records stable 1080p at 30 FPS or higher with in-camera stabilization off, keeping hands and objects visible. Upload the raw file; do not apply the camera app's smoothing, which the review checks for and treats as an edit.
Can I record outside my home?
Only when the brief allows it and you can keep faces, street addresses, private property, screens, IDs, and bystanders out of frame. Because a wearable films continuously, outdoor capture is harder to keep clean than indoor work, so most tasks stay in controlled spaces you have permission to record in.
How do I get paid for wearable footage in Canada?
TrueLabel pays $24 CAD per approved hour of usable footage. Each upload runs machine checks then a human review; accepted hours join a twice-weekly CAD payout queue while reshoot or rejected clips are not paid. You confirm a supported CAD payout method during onboarding and track each hour in your account.
What happens after I apply?
TrueLabel reviews your Canada eligibility, wearable or action camera, English or French preference, and availability, usually within a few business days. If you match, you record one hands-free sample; once it passes the mount-stability and framing check, paid wearable tasks open for you to claim.
Do I need robotics experience?
No. You need an approved wearable setup, a safe space you have permission to record in, and the ability to follow detailed task instructions. Canada-based collectors work as independent contractors who are 18 or older and can request briefs in English or French. The footage you create may later be reviewed, filtered, labeled, or packaged for physical AI projects, but your role is the hands-free capture, not the annotation.
