Built for fiber techs who are tired of losing job photos, missing GPS or splice point details in the picture, and fixing closeouts later. Quik Fiber Pro turns your camera into a fiber-specific GPS timestamp tool with editable stamps, rapid capture, Photo Map, and Picture Vault. Quik Fiber Pro is the GPS timestamp camera and field documentation app built for fiber technicians and splicers. Capture clear job-site photos with the information your closeout actually needs: ● GPS coordinates ● Address ● Date and time ● Splice point ● Closure ID ● Cable information ● Technician name ● Job notes Take photos back-to-back without leaving the camera, then quickly review your most recent photo from the floating thumbnail. Made a mistake in the field? Edit your photo stamp after capture so missing or incorrect job information can be corrected before closeout. Picture Vault — Pro
Keep job photos organized by splice point instead of digging through your phone’s camera roll. Photo Map
See where your documented work was captured and quickly jump back into the related splice point. Quik Fiber Pro also includes professional fiber tools for planning, documenting and closing out work, including splice tools, reports, field notes and additional workflow features. Whether you’re documenting an outage, backbone splice, commercial customer, cell-site fiber, construction work or daily production, Quik Fiber Pro keeps the evidence with the job. Built for fiber work. Not a generic timestamp camera. What’s New in 1.0.7 Use: Quik Fiber Pro is becoming the timestamp camera built for fiber techs. New in this update: ● Rapid back-to-back photo capture ● Quick-access thumbnail for your latest photo ● Editable GPS, address, date, time and job stamp data ● Improved GPS and address capture ● Larger Photo Map ● Improved photo-data editor ● Picture Vault and job-photo workflow improvements ● Stability and build improvements SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION Quik Fiber Pro offers an auto-renewing Pro subscription.
