The judge also gave him permanent name suppression.
The man pleaded guilty after a victim found the camera, which had almost 40-thousand images on it.
Today in the High Court at Auckland, Crown Prosecutor Mark Harborow argued the sentencing judge didn't have the agreed summary of facts -- but an earlier copy.
He says the decision was based on the man's claim he would 'lose his job and bring his Government-owned company into disrepute' -- but there was no evidence either scenario would happen.
Justice Simon Moore has reserved his decision.
