Owners of hotels and restaurants, even if they're skid row establishments, need to stop pinching pennies when it comes to security surveillance gear.  I realize that a video capture will always reveal some image degradation when presented as a still image, especially if the subject is moving swiftly, but this much pixelation is inexcusable.  This is not even indicative of second- or third-tier gear.

Spend a bit more money, for someday you may come to appreciate the better quality.
