The Potbelly Sandwich Shop, an international chain restaurant, known for delicious, nutritious submarine sandwiches and soups, started from humble beginnings. In 1977, Potbelly started in a small antique store on Lincoln Avenue in Chicago, Illinois. By 2005, Potbelly had over 100 shops open nationally and was named one of "America's 500 Fastest Growing Private Companies" by Inc. Magazine. By their 30th anniversary, they opened their 200th store and was eighth on the list of Crain's Business "50 Fastest Growing Companies". Not only does the chain "help people eat right, without giving up the things they love", part of their mission includes their commitment to promote green initiatives and giving back to local communities.
Bullying, fighting and aggression, shooting and bomb threats - practically every night our newscasts reflect the chaos of our schools. We have to do better at protecting our children from threats within the school's walls and outsiders who trespass on our campuses. Some state governments, like those in Texas and Ohio, are stepping in to make security and surveillance a priority for their school's agendas.

We continue to see quick service restaurants and small box retail stores experiment with the inexpensive lines of cameras and video surveillance equipment that are flooding the market. What looks good on day one of installation, falters or fails six months later. Most of these systems come with a one- or two-year warranty, but the owner has to uninstall the camera on the server and ship it elsewhere for repair or replacement. After two to three weeks, the camera is returned and has to be reinstalled.
The latest innovations in security aren’t improved device features. The real innovation is software integration that combines the video data collected by your Video Surveillance System with other data files within your business. The combined data can then be presented in reports, a dashboard or video clips that gives you actionable business insights and a visual audit trail.
One of the biggest considerations when researching cameras is choosing the right video quality. Video surveillance resolution is one of those make-or-break decisions that affects whether or not your system will deliver the quality video you are looking for.
As 2015 winds down, we take a look at what’s trending in surveillance security for the new year. 2016 will probably not be defined by its technological advances, but by the spread and integration of several new technologies that have already been introduced. As more businesses integrate video surveillance with the data their systems already collect, they are prepared to evolve and adopt emerging future trends in security.
