> unauthorized persons can not get there for reasons I will not show

Not sure what else can be there, I mean it's already a critical infrastructure of the plane what we saw

He probably means there is some intrusion prevention mechanism that keeps people out.
Funny how it reads like he's keeping the reasons secret.

The reasons are bloody obvious, who would want strangers poking around the blinkenlights.

He might mean that what happens if you trespass won't be shown! There might be a gas release system that would neutralise an attacker or perhaps just open the door to the hold so they freeze!
I doubt there’s actually a defense system. The only way inside from within the plane is from the cockpit and if there’s an intruder in the cockpit they can already do more damage without needing to go below.
There's a door from the cargo area into the server/electronics area. Not sure if there's a handle on the cargo-side, but the pilot uses the door in the video (opened it from electronics side). It appeared this cargo area is pressurized (door into electronics area didn't appear pressurized, nor did the hatch into the cockpit).
That cargo hold is pressurised and heated. Some animals would fly in it if not suitable to carry on the cabin.
Might be that you can't lift that hatch as the server room probably isn't pressurised.
The avionics bay ("server room") is pressurized. Just like the cargo area. The small hatch and door he went through don't hold any pressure.
