What buyers look for
- Egocentric video from head or body cameras showing hands doing skilled work.
- Procedure recordings: assembly, repairs, inspections or cooking, step by step.
- Paired data: video with narration, transcripts, step labels or sensor readings.
- Rights-cleared archives of footage the business owns outright.
Which businesses hold useful video
Training providers and trade schools, maintenance and field-service firms using body cameras, manufacturers with recorded work instructions, inspection companies, kitchens and food producers, and media producers with owned archives. See what data AI companies buy for other record types.
Consent and rights
- People on camera. Employees and customers need a legal basis for their images and voices to be licensed, usually written consent.
- Music and third-party content. Remove anything you don’t own.
- Client sites. Footage recorded at a customer’s premises may need their approval.

Frequently asked questions
What is egocentric video data?
Video filmed from the point of view of the person doing a task, usually with a head or chest camera. Models use it to learn how hands and tools are used.
Can we license training videos we made for staff?
Usually, if you own the footage and the people in it have agreed. Check any contracts with production companies or presenters.
Is more footage always better?
No. Buyers pay more for varied, expert, well-described footage than for many hours of similar clips.
