Exocentric Video Recorder

Record continuous movement for AI training

Capture third-person footage of everyday activities in changing environments for an AI training project. This remote contract covers movement indoors and outdoors, vehicle navigation, and potentially animal-mounted point-of-view recordings. Follow the instructions for each assignment to maintain the required perspective and collect consistent footage.

Capture requirements

• Record continuous clips lasting at least 60 seconds, with a minimum resolution of 720p.
• Work across a variety of settings, including indoor, outdoor, and vehicle environments, with an emphasis on natural movement and changing scenery.
• Follow the supplied directions for activity selection, camera placement, and safe recording.

Camera requirements

You must already own or have access to a compatible camera. It must provide at least a 170° field of view and record at 720p or higher.

Examples of compatible equipment include Insta360 X3, X4, X5, and X6; DJI Osmo 360; and GoPro MAX or MAX2. Other action or 360° cameras are acceptable when they meet the stated technical requirements.

A compatible backpack or vehicle mount is helpful and may allow an earlier start. Examples include a third-person backpack mount or another harness-mounted extension system.

Third-person framing

• Mount the camera above and behind your body, angled slightly downward.
• Position it far enough away to show your entire body and the surrounding environment throughout the activity.
• Keep the camera stable enough to maintain that view during ordinary movement.
• If the camera's field of view is less than 360°, allow enough distance that your body does not repeatedly leave the frame.

Handheld selfie sticks, chest mounts, shoulder clips, and stationary tripods do not meet the required third-person perspective. Vehicle navigation footage requires the camera to be securely mounted to the vehicle.

Recording assignments

Assignments may include everyday activities, walking through different environments, indoor and outdoor movement, driving and vehicle navigation, and other activities specified in the collection instructions. Keep the relevant action and surrounding setting visible, use the prescribed camera position, and follow all recording and safety directions.
