5 minutes minimum

Every paid video must be at least 5 minutes long, in one take. Shorter videos are refused at upload and are not paid.

Every video needs

  • At least 5 minutes, in one continuous take
  • Both hands in the frame
  • English narration, in the present tense (voice-over is OK)
  • Start and end in the same place
  • Landscape, 1080p HD
  • 60 fps (30 fps if your phone can't do 60)
  • A head mount (or a chest mount if your phone has a 0.5x wide lens)
  • Your own home only (no other people, no children, no personal details in view)

For contributors

Get paid to record the work you already do.

Wash dishes. Cook rice. Fold laundry. Restock a shelf. Strap your phone to your head or chest, record it once, and get paid for every clip we accept.

The kit is a phone and a head mount to hold it facing your hands — ₱150–300, about US$3–6. That is all of it.

For contributors

Get paid to record the work you already do.

Mount your phone and record everyday tasks from your own point of view. QwestLab reviews every clip, tracks your quality record, and pays for accepted work.

  1. 1

    Create your profile

    Tell QwestLab where you live, your occupation, the phone you record on, and the environments you can film in — a home kitchen, a warehouse, a shop floor.

  2. 2

    Get your mount and qualify

    The one thing you may need to buy: a head mount to hold the phone facing your hands (₱150–300, about US$3–6). Then record a short qualification clip so we can check framing, lighting, and that both hands stay visible.

  3. 3

    Record the task

    Mount your phone, do the task the way you normally would, and record it in one continuous take. No acting, no staging — robots learn from how the work is really done.

  4. 4

    Get paid

    QwestLab reviews every clip and sends the ones it accepts to the client. The client counts the minutes it approves, and that count is what you are paid.

Safety and privacy

Designed for responsible real-world collection.

Contributors should know what they are collecting, why it is being collected, how they are compensated, and what the data may be used for.

  • Task-specific consent

    You agree to each project's terms before you record for it, not once at signup.

  • No hidden recording

    You control the camera and know exactly what is being filmed and when.

  • Privacy screening

    Clips are screened for faces and other people before they are accepted.

  • Identity protection

    Your personal details are never part of the dataset a client receives.

  • Secure upload and storage

    Uploads go directly to private storage over an encrypted connection.

  • Auditable usage rights

    Every clip carries the project rules and rights it was collected under.
