Remote Household Data Specialist - Video Capture (Vietnam)

Record structured video of everyday household activities in your own home in Vietnam, following a shot list and consent rules supplied by the project team. Footage is used to train and evaluate AI models on real-world human activity, so technical compliance and metadata accuracy matter more than production polish.

Summary, eligibility guidance and screening preparation are prepared by Sidequest from the platform's posting. Check the source listing before applying.

What the work involves

You receive a capture brief — a list of household tasks to film (cooking steps, laundry, tidying, using appliances, moving between rooms), along with camera placement rules, lighting minimums, duration targets, and framing constraints. You then film those activities in your own home using a phone or supplied camera, review each clip against the checklist, and upload with the required metadata: activity label, room, time of day, participants, and any deviations from the brief.

Filming sessions typically run 30–90 minutes and produce several short clips rather than one long take
Written consent from every person appearing on camera, collected before filming
Self-QC before upload: check focus, audio, occlusion, that hands and objects stay in frame, and that no unintended personal information is visible
Rework requests are normal — a clip may be rejected for framing, motion blur, or a missing label and need reshooting

What the platform screens for

micro1 runs an AI-led interview before any project assignment. Expect it to verify that you are physically located in Vietnam, that you have a home environment suitable for repeated filming, and that you can describe your device, storage, and upload bandwidth in concrete terms. The screen also probes judgment: whether you understand why a clip that technically shows the activity might still be unusable, how you handle a household member who declines consent, and whether you will flag a problem rather than quietly submit borderline footage. Vague or over-eager answers score poorly; specific, slightly inconvenient honesty scores well.

Logistics

Fully remote and asynchronous — you film on your own schedule within the batch deadline, usually a week or two per assignment. Work is project-based and intermittent rather than a steady weekly load. Pay is undisclosed on this listing; comparable household video capture work is generally priced per accepted clip or per completed session, and rejected footage typically does not count. Confirm rate, acceptance criteria, and data-use terms in writing before you start filming.

Interview prep — 11 questions

Matched to what this platform's screening actually measures. Answer each out loud in 60–90 seconds: claim → concrete example → implication.

What it tests: Whether the candidate has genuine hands-on device experience and can notice real technical issues (focus drift, audio clipping, dropped frames) rather than speaking in abstractions.
A strong answer: A concrete recent example—cooking video, family event, tutorial—naming the specific phone model or camera, what they recorded to (internal storage, SD card), and a genuine problem they spotted (soft focus in low light, wind noise, battery drain) and how they adjusted.
Where people lose it: Vague answers like 'I use my phone all the time' or invented technical details that don't match how phones actually behave. Candidates who have never reviewed their own footage in detail will struggle to name a real issue.
