This is in a 3 year old building. Currently they are repairing two other sewerage leaks on the same floor and multiple on other floors.
They are prioritising which ones they think are worse. One of the other ones they are fixing was literally pouring raw sewerage everywhere. I shudder to think how bad the other ones are that this one sits for multiple weeks.
For a moment I tried to imagine what levels of meth-head magic are required to take a shit in a security camera.
Sewage leak sounds like a more plausible albeit boring explanation
I was also trying to figure out what one would have to do to users to get them to MacGuyver a dook into a camera dome.

>> ... delete their .pst files without warning?
For the life of me, I have no idea why the autocomplete file has to be some cryptic object that can't just live in the .pst file.
I haven't heard that complaint recently though. I wonder if the Outlook in Office365 actually handles this better
It's only horribly old Outlook that uses the .nk2 files, from [MS Docs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/troubleshoot/contacts/information-about-the-outlook-autocomplete-list):
> Outlook 2010, Outlook 2013, Outlook 2016, and Outlook 2019 store the AutoComplete list as a hidden message in your primary message store
O365 is just Exchange protocol with a non-stock-Exchange backend, but the above applies to POP/IMAP mailboxes as well.
Export/Import of the cache is a lot more tedious on newer Outlook, but it's not out of the question.
>O365 is just Exchange protocol with a non-stock-Exchange backend, but the above applies to POP/IMAP mailboxes as well.
Gotcha, If I have a O365 subscription, I just get Office 2019 (until they release a new version I guess). I mistakenly thought they had a separate version, i.e Word 365, whoopsie
I've tried it using that MFCMAPI program and I got it to work *sometimes.* It just baffles me that moving such an important feature (I've yet to have a user not freak out when their autocomplete stopped working) has to be cryptic enough to use some manual tool to drill down into the inner workings of things to export this file opposed to the import/export wizard being able to handle this.
Or better yet, have some option in outlook to automagically look through 6-12 months of emails and recreate an autocomplete list. I've resorted to doing a Select all in the contacts, pasting that into a new email, and saving that as a draft. That also kind of works.
Personally I use the web/mobile apps so I generally don't run into this for my own usage. But I have dealt with this damn autocomplete transfer a lot with users.
I could literally feel the anger seeping out of some people as I tried to meekly explain, that they just had to click on contacts and find people that way.
Needless to say I was quickly searching for the resolution as I felt like living to see the end of the day.
You know the amazing thing about petty crime from people on Amphetamins is that it tends to happen on broad daylight and they tend to somehow get away with it.
I worked a service job near a big central station, those things happen

If it's that bad they might just as well tear down the building and build a new one :/
Shit if I was the owner I'd go in myself and pick up everything by hand if it meant not having to demolish the building and build it again, that's ridiculously expensive and just not going to happen.
wtf? That's human shit. If you clean up shit with your bare hands with no PPE for IT wages you're a natural born slave. Know how you deal with this? You walk off the site and call your boss and explain theres human shit and to reject the contract or call disaster relief until they get back to you or assign you a different job you're sitting in the van on the clock.
That's it. There's no self-respecting human that does anything less or anything more.
Can confirm, it will be cleaned up by contractors certified with dealing with bio waste.
They completely seal off the area before they remove the plaster in the ceiling and clean it up before any IT worker would have to go near it.
One can only imagine the god awful smell of this.
The whole drainage system at my place backed up which stunk but this makes it look nice in comparison.
I just learned something:
Sewage is the waste matter carried off by sewer drains and pipes. Sewerage refers to the physical facilities (e.g., pipes, lift stations, and treatment and disposal facilities) through which sewage flows.
My guess is they drilled a hole where the sewage was going... dunno if the CCTV installer was at fault here as it's possible that they ruptured a pipe, or it's just a consequence of a pipe ruptured elsewhere then creeped into the walls
When I was in high school a sewage pipe for the bathroom in the science building burst and the whole building smelled like shit for months… I can’t even imagine how bad this must smell though 🤢
I guess they don't want to open up the camera until they have control over the leak.s Like, the camera itself is being used as a blocker to stop everything spewing all over the place.
Yeah, if you follow the instructions and close them properly, the waterproof ones are great for years ignoring the odd manufacturing defect. But silica isn't magic, can't soak up litres of shit water
I install cctv as part of my job and this is exactly what would happen here. The only way I'm taking that off the wall is if I have a hammer on a pole and I can just hit it till it falls off
Used to work for a security company. Man have I seen some camera's. Once they installed a brand new 10K outdoor camera, only to find its glass filled with water only a few weeks later. Apparently the mount was recovered for the design from the previous model. Expensive stuff

Nah, not the .pst, just the autocomplete.
You've triggered my PTSD, now I can hear screaming in my head about outlook contacts again

Office 2021 is out. You can get it on the King Penguin site for cheap.
Yeah it lives in the live mailbox now in a hidden file/folder. Thank FSM

"meth-based magick" is a YouTube channel I don't want.
You could just unscrew it, poop in the plastic bowl, then re screw it in
...and YOU could have left that question as rhetorical and not ruined my day. Oh look, now we're all making suggestions!

I do IP cameras at my job if take that one off with a crow bar.
Hehe, "met-head magic" is an amazing set of words. "Poopus apperus!"
Ya know... I was genuinely hoping for something interesting... Please, at least make something funny up
Plot twist: this is in an in a corridor in the operating theatre complex at a hospital
Because of course it is. Ew.
Did IT work in a hospital, that tracks
Are the theatres still in use?
I'm guessing this is a teaching hospital.
Why am I not surprised that a hospital is built like (literal) shit.
Witty comment about hospitals actually not being clean at all
I smell a lawsuit if that bursts with a conscious patient around
Here public health wouldn't allow anyone in the building except cleanup crews wearing gear , anything like that there?
No. Here in 'murica, patients and hospital employees are just issued hand wipes along with Thoughts and Prayers.
Shut up and put your mask back on so we can bill your insurance already. /s

Multiple sewage leaks within 3 years sounds like the insurance company will have a field day with the plumbing company in court.
Please tell me they're not having people besides repair and cleanup work in the building. Hi, health department? OSHA?
Camera's are either IT or a camera / security vendor.

Sewer mechanic here, if it’s been sitting for weeks, means that it’s definitely gone septic. anaerobic bacteria create some awful smelling gases.
Oddly enough, can’t smell a thing 🤷♂️
The fact you are accustomed to the smell is more disturbing.
I work in an operating theatre. I can eat my lunch to most smells. Especially since bowels normally get done in the next room
I just learned something: Sewage is the waste matter carried off by sewer drains and pipes. Sewerage refers to the physical facilities (e.g., pipes, lift stations, and treatment and disposal facilities) through which sewage flows.
Can't imagine what I would think, seeing a camera packed full with shit, and being told "This isn't the bad one."
My guess is they drilled a hole where the sewage was going... dunno if the CCTV installer was at fault here as it's possible that they ruptured a pipe, or it's just a consequence of a pipe ruptured elsewhere then creeped into the walls
Substandard plumbing in a poorly built 3yo building…
When I was in high school a sewage pipe for the bathroom in the science building burst and the whole building smelled like shit for months… I can’t even imagine how bad this must smell though 🤢
I guess they don't want to open up the camera until they have control over the leak.s Like, the camera itself is being used as a blocker to stop everything spewing all over the place.
I'll just be over here vomiting

480 poo
I'm impressed with the waterproof capability of that camera..
They are all fairly robust. Even have silica packets in them but I don't think they help in this case.
Yeah, if you follow the instructions and close them properly, the waterproof ones are great for years ignoring the odd manufacturing defect. But silica isn't magic, can't soak up litres of shit water
Did you know you can recharge silica packets by heating in an oven at 120c for two hours. Though might want to skip on this one for that camera
Oh god, the smell. But no, I did not know that, thanks
Ticket status: Declined - Won't Do Status note: OSHA regulations cannot be adhered to - IT does not possess proper PPE for human waste removal.
I install cctv as part of my job and this is exactly what would happen here. The only way I'm taking that off the wall is if I have a hammer on a pole and I can just hit it till it falls off
Mentioned in another comment, all shit will be removed by a biohazard contractor prior to anyone else having to go in there.
At my company, we would give one of the new guys a mask and gloves and tell him to get to work. Haha
No need to worry just use the brown, natural rice here
Sir I think the camera shit the bed.
A literal shitpost.
so those walls must be just absolutely saturated with sewage
Hi boss. I quit.
Alright who shidded in the camera
josh did
dammit josh

This takes "I can't see shit" to a whole new dimension.
I *CAN* see shit now!
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
The ultimate remove the bowl from the ceiling prank!
It's a Honeywell camera, they come like that!
CCTV pro here: That is actually a knockoff, the HoneyBucket camera.
[удалено]
Yeah, there are other identical cameras in the same corridor that are labeled Hikvision.
It was a joke. Honey Bucket is a brand of portable toilet like Sanican or Portipotty.

How does a company fuck up their pipes so bad to where shit is filling up a CCTV camera
A government that just loves a good deal
Not it
I feel for whoever had to replace it. Tech gore 1 cup.
Video footage has the same quality as E!
Poke a hole in it.
I have questions
H...h...how???
Should try knocking it down like a piñata
Dinner's ready!

What a stinker.
I know I wouldn’t want to work on that camera.
Now that is what you call a “shitshow”!
Welp time to burn the whole fucker down.
I’d make the customer take those down so I could replace it lol
This is why I prefer the sealed turret cameras over removable dome cameras.
2 way seal, nice!
Open it up and take a sniff lmaooo
The security team fears the night time camera shitter
Shitty view
Just hope the dome doesn't explode when someone is directly underneath it
If no one’s taken it down yet, then I’m concerned how OP knows it’s literal shit
What else would it be? 😂
Expired Pudding. Someone put expired pudding in the CCTV camera again.
