Could a 360° camera earn you $95 an hour simply by recording parts of your day? A new job listing brings video capture directly into the world of AI training.
RemoExperts is looking for UK-based contributors who already own an Insta360 X5 to capture unscripted everyday activities from a first-person perspective. Posted on September 9, 2026, the listing describes flexible project-based contract work rather than a permanent position.
What contributors are asked to record
Participants wear the Insta360 X5 on their head and capture continuous sessions of around ten minutes while cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, shopping, commuting, caring for pets or working on creative activities. The goal is natural behaviour in real settings, not acting or a carefully planned shoot.
Each recording requires basic labels describing the activity and environment. The project calls for camera-setup guidance, training and sample recordings before full production, along with compliance with consent and privacy requirements.
The rate and eligibility
The advertised rate is US $95 per hour for the United Kingdom project. It is not a guaranteed salary: this is flexible contract work offered by project, and payment is tied to approved work under the programme’s terms. Applicants must be UK-based, already own an Insta360 X5 and be verified members of the platform.
The Insta360 X5, an 8K-capable 360° camera, was designed for immersive action and creative filming. Here, however, the valuable element is not cinematic composition but a consistent record of the way people move through spaces and handle objects.

Why AI developers want footage from daily life
First-person footage captures surroundings, the order of human movements and the progress of a task in one sequence. Such material can support AI systems learning to recognize human actions and may inform robotics research. The listing does not identify a particular end-user robot or name the ultimate customer for these recordings.
Demand for real-world behavioural footage brings privacy questions into focus. Anyone considering a project like this should examine the usage rights, retention and consent terms, especially where private homes or other people appear in recordings.
What we think
The $95 figure makes an immediate impression. But for anyone who makes a living with a camera, the more striking part is what is actually being bought. This footage is not valued for storytelling, composition or editing. It is valued as a record of human actions that can become training data.
That distinction matters. Ten minutes of cooking may sound harmless, yet a head-mounted camera can reveal far more than a recipe: the layout of your home, your habits and potentially other people. The pay rate should be weighed against the rights you grant and the control you retain over the footage.
For someone who already owns an X5, it might be an unusual paid opportunity. We would not buy the camera purely in the hope of landing this kind of work, particularly when eligibility is geographically restricted and assignments are not guaranteed.
