A married father-of-two who set up a secret camera in an office toilet to help boost his libido will face no jail time despite admitting to the sick crime.
Former printing technician Daniel Ko admitted to fixing a GoPro to a female toilet inside a Nation Real Estate office in Picton, south of Sydney, on January 21.
The 61-year-old had been called to the office to fix a broken printer.
A disgusted female employee spotted the camera an hour later.
Police uncovered 15 minutes of footage which captured two women using the bathroom and Ko setting up the camera.
He was arrested within five hours and charged with two counts of filming a person in a private act.

Ko, whose wife of 40 years and two adult children were in court on Tuesday, said he had set up the camera in the hope the footage would give him a sexual reaction.
His lawyer said the act was out of character for the father-of-two, who had otherwise lived a respectable life.
'He's lost his employment, he's lost his reputation,' the lawyer said according to Nine News.
'This is a significant fall from grace,' he said.
Magistrate Ian Guy judge ruled Ko would avoid spending up to two years in jail due to health issues.
He was ordered to take part in rehabilitation and perform 250 hours community service.
