Vincent Ncube, of Park Road, Smethwick, pleaded guilty to three counts of possessing indecent images of children at Wolverhampton Crown Court.
The 47-year-old was caught after joining a paedophile group on secret social media platform Telegram. Police raided his home in June last year and after seizing his tablet and phone found 176 category A, 191 category B and 487 category A pictures and videos.
The court heard the videos Ncube possessed involved pre-pubescent girls being abused by adults and he had viewed the videos for three years before being caught.
