United States collector role
Egocentric Video Data Collector Jobs in United States
TrueLabel accepts United States-based egocentric video collector applicants for evergreen physical AI data collection opportunities. Briefs are provided in English only.
Overview
Egocentric video collection uses a continuous wearable point of view: a head or chest mount keeps the camera moving with your gaze so a whole session is captured hands-free. Unlike a task-led handheld shot, the camera does not stop and reframe between steps. You wear an approved mount, run through an approved routine, and submit the raw session. Only accepted footage is paid. In United States, this work is filmed in home kitchens and dining rooms, garages and home workshops, desk and home-office setups, and apartment and house living areas.
Applicants in United States should be ready to share device details, mount options, language, safe recording space, and availability before completing a short qualification sample. The U.S. spans multiple zones; you confirm your local time during onboarding and each brief shows its review window accordingly.

What this opportunity involves
What a egocentric video collector records in United States
In United States, a egocentric video collector films egocentric task footage from the collector's own point of view in settings such as home kitchens and dining rooms, garages and home workshops, desk and home-office setups, and apartment and house living areas. U.S. briefs run across multiple metros nationwide rather than a single region, with review windows set in your local time zone. Strong submissions show setup, task motion, object state changes, and completion clearly enough for the TrueLabel collector QA team to review.
Core responsibilities for egocentric video collectors in United States
This role is defined by a specific set of capture habits: wear a steady head or chest mount that holds a natural eye-line for the whole session, capture continuous multi-step routines without stopping and reframing between steps, keep the mount level so the horizon does not tilt as you move between tasks, and let the camera follow your gaze rather than staging individual shots. Each is checked during review, so practising them before you submit keeps your acceptance rate high. In United States, you apply these habits in home kitchens and dining rooms, garages and home workshops, desk and home-office setups, and apartment and house living areas.
What gets accepted versus reshot in United States
Footage is accepted when the wearable point of view is continuous and steady across the whole routine, each step of the routine is captured without large gaps or cuts, and the eye-line stays natural so the task ahead of you is always visible. It is sent back or rejected when the mount slips, tilts, or points away from the task for long stretches, the session is cut into staged single shots instead of a continuous capture, and bystander faces or private details appear without being excluded or blurred. Accepted United States work pays $18-$24 per approved hour of usable footage, reviewed by the TrueLabel collector QA team usually within 2 business days of upload. Payouts settle in USD by ACH direct deposit to your U.S. bank account; you complete W-9 tax onboarding and add your account during setup, then accepted work is paid through the twice-weekly queue.
How TrueLabel matches egocentric video collectors in United States
For a egocentric video collector, the setup that matters most is concrete: use a head or chest mount that holds a steady eye-line POV at 1080p/30fps minimum; level the mount before recording and avoid touching it mid-session. A passing sample proves you can wear an approved mount and capture a continuous, steady multi-step routine without the eye-line drifting off task. Your profile should also list location, language, available mounts, recording environment, and weekly availability so TrueLabel can match you to eligible work. Briefs are provided in English only. The U.S. spans multiple zones; you confirm your local time during onboarding and each brief shows its review window accordingly.
What makes a submission review-ready in United States
The single most common rejection is a mount that tilts or slips so the routine drifts out of the eye-line. Beyond that single failure, a review-ready egocentric video collector clip keeps the task visible from start to finish, follows the brief, avoids private information, and arrives as a raw upload. Test your framing on a short clip before recording the real take. In United States that review happens against home kitchens and dining rooms, garages and home workshops, desk and home-office setups, and apartment and house living areas, with the TrueLabel collector QA team returning outcomes usually within 2 business days of upload.
