All roles / Video & photo capture

Get paid to record video for AI

13 remote roles from micro1, Meridial and Claru. Listed pay runs from $6 to $30 an hour.

Some AI training is as simple as recording everyday life. These roles pay you to record first-person video, 360° footage, photos or gameplay with your phone or camera. No degree needed, though pay is usually lower than expert work.

Questions

How much do these roles pay?

Listed rates on this page run from $6 to $30 an hour. Rates vary by project and location, and the platform shows you the current rate before you accept work. Work comes in projects, so some weeks are busier than others.

What do I need to apply?

A phone or camera, and sometimes specific gear like a 360° camera. Pay often depends on your country.

Do I need AI experience?

No. The platforms train you on their own guidelines. They're looking for your expertise and careful judgment, not a background in AI.

Is this a job with benefits?

No. These are independent contractor roles, paid by the platform. You choose your hours, and you're responsible for your own taxes.
