Evidently it was an ESP32 with a wifi antenna. So it could instead/also have streamed to server. Or just used wifi for C+C. Total outlay for information worth millions to someone? Under $20.

Not sure that would be a concern in a meeting room, the risk of getting caught during retrieval would seem to be worse.

If someone found the device, it's harder to link it to you.
