I am not a posek. Please contact your LOR.
That said, keep in mind that your two cases are not analogous.
If a location is being recorded 24/7, then the melacha is occurring whether you are there or not. Your going there does not change anything.
Going somewhere where you will activate something, then that may well be a different story.
Again, I am not a rav. Contact your LOR.
