Why are thier quality so bad?
I mean if its like at least 5 megapixel you can at least see the robbers face clearly and all hes wearing.
but security cameras are fuzzy, sometimes black and white, and blurry?
I mean whouldnt it be much easier to get a better quality camera?
Answer
Cheapo crap camera plugged into VCR: $100
High Quality CCTV system: $3,000
Both have the same deterrent value, and neither has the ability to see through a ski mask. Who is going to spend $5,000 on security equipment that can be defeated by a $15 purchase?
$100 is a sound investment, but the $5,000 camera is not 50 times more likely to prevent a robbery. And neither the $100 camera nor the $5000 is likely to actually get back the $300 stolen from the cash register.
Eh, my solution if I am setting this up: Get a crappy used computer, a high-quality webcam ($50), a long USB chord ($50) so the computer can be kept hidden in a file cabinet or something. Set it to record 24/7, and delete older recordings automatically when space needs to be freed. Just as cheap, deters just as much, and has quality similar to the $3000 system.

I'm not familiar with PHT so I'm not sure about their offering. Most security companies use very similar technology and you generally get what you pay for. Part of the decision should be based on what your expectations are. In today's world, with all the police budget cutbacks, the police may not dispatch anyone for a burglary call. If that's the case in your area, you may be further ahead to get an alarm system with a loud siren that you can control. Sounds simple, but these are actually pretty effective. A good watchdog is probably more effective than either company and will probably cost you less. For best value, I think a good intrusion alarm, a watchdog and a pistol is your best bet.
A lot depends on where you live, what type of neighborhood, how isolated is your house, and how much are you gone. If your concern is protecting your house when you're gone, then I'd recommend an intrusion alarm and maybe a simple surveillance camera system. If your concern is for when you are home, then a watchdog and a firearm is a better option.
Surveillance systems will cost about the same as an ADT system. Again, there probably isn't one all around best system as it depends on what you hope to accomplish. I have a surveillance system and a pair of German Shepherds at my home along with several firearms. I've never had a problem.
