Provident Technologies is headed by father and son team, Frank and Luke Fowles. Both have experience in the security and distribution industries. Frank Fowles commented: “We believe that visual alarm verification will be the new growth sector in the security business. Apps too are commonplace globally with the advancement in smartphone technologies and fall in phone prices. EL offers a family of wireless intrusion detection products, including app supported control panels, camera enabled detectors, integrated IP camera video and system management via the cloud that is the high-end solution we are looking to introduce to the South African market.”

The two management systems available are the professional iConnect 2-way wireless security system and CommPact an integrated 1-way residential wireless security system. A full range of accessories includes PIR camera detectors for motion sensing and visual verification, IP cameras, vibration, smoke, heat, flood, gas or CO, keypads and keyfobs, sirens and panic keyfobs.

Installers of the systems are provided with full training and have access to on-line support to enable remote configuration and diagnostics as well as easy upgrades and additions of service with no interruption to system performance.
