Welcome to outsourcing to the lowest fixed price bidder.So my local Sams Club just spent the past 8 months remodeling. They installed probably in the neighborhood of 200 new cameras. They all look like a decent job, until you get to this one.
There is space above this cam inside the building that they could have dropped the cable to the cam.

I hear about such work at our local schools from a friend that has recently taken over their IT duties lately...instead of the dumb-ass contractors.Welcome to outsourcing to the lowest fixed price bidder.
( I must say I have seen some really crappy work with fixed priced outsourced work... really crappy work )
He probably didn't have a clue how to bend the emt.Didn't even use emt. What a hot mess!
A couple reasons i think:I don't even understand why these contractors are still using these overpriced garbage cams anyways.
Ha! That's ok, I know how to salute them.
I wish I can bill my labor 4X materials!!!A couple reasons i think:
-There are a lot of jobs in various industries that are billed at roughly materials times 2. People are kind of used to this, if you bid a job where labor is 4x materials... good luck
-Companies like bosch, Avigilon, etc, do a better job of standing behind their products and a better job of pretending to care about cyber security.
-They aren't blacklisted from government contracts.
-They are better at writing software interfaces and manuals in English. Leaving a customer with a product with a chinglish interface doesn't inspire confidence.
