It looked as though the Hatch was wired with cameras but not for sound. Since Desmond's boat was sheltered outside the station, Ben's people wouldn't know about it unless they actually stumbled onto the lagoon where Kelvin had hidden it.
As for Kelvin and the Others, I think he was going out looking for them...sort of like Rouseau and her traps. Ben and the Others were just staying out of their way. Sort of like a one-sided truce. Kelvin and Rouseau were still at war, but Ben and the Others were staying out of sight and leaving them alone.
Does that sound logical?
It might also explain that "drawing of the lines" when Jack, Sawyer and Locke confronted the Others when they went after Michael the first time (and the Others captured Kate). Maybe that 'you stay on your side and we'll stay on ours' was an attempt to adapt that strategy to the Losties.
