I will never stay in an listing with cameras on. I don`t think this is legal…
You use the two magic words harassement and loaded weapon and this give me a lot to think…
I used airbnb one time and never again.

Even though you booked for someone else, the fact that this guy had video cameras inside his house is terrifying. What the heck!!? If you hadn’t booked here, it would only have been a matter of time before someone else would have using their own profile and the same thing probably would have happened to them. Scary

If you booked for someone else and didn’t stay there yourself, you are in violation of Airbnb’s rules and TOS. The host was right. It means that neither the guests or the hosts are covered by any protection Airbnb offers. If you go against the TOS, you can expect trouble!

First mistake, as you said, booking with someone with zero reviews. There are plenty of honorable and 5 star Airbnb listings out there to choose from.
Secondly you cannot book for a 3rd party. Airbnb is based on trust. You left your trust at the door by using your profile to book for someone else.
