Seculink C8 Home IP Cameras With FCC Certificates and Test Reports

Oct. 18, 2018 - PRLog -- Security of the Internet of Things is a hot concern lately, and for good reason.  Consumers shop on features and price, not on security, and consumers wouldn't know which questions to ask even if they did focus on security. We plan to launch a series of surveillance products, one of the distinguishing features of our systems will be a security-first design.

Getting a certificate onto your camera

An FCC ID is a unique identifier assigned to a device registered with the United States Federal Communications Commission. For legal sale of wireless deices in the US, manufacturers must:

• Have the device evaluated by an independent lab to ensure it conforms to FCC standards
• Provide documentation to the FCC of the lab results
• Provide User Manuals, Documentation, and Photos relating to the device
• Digitally or physically label the device with the unique identifier provided by the FCC (upon approved application)

The FCC gets its authourity from Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations (47 CFR). FCC IDs are required for all wireless emitting devices sold in the USA. By searching an FCC ID, you can find details on the wireless operating frequency (including strength), photos of the device, user manuals for the device, and SAR reports on the wireless emissions

An FCC ID is the product ID assigned by the FCC to identify wireless products in the market. The FCC chooses 3 or 5 character "Grantee" codes to identify the business that created the product. For example, the grantee code for FCC ID: 2AP4M-C8 is 2AP4M. The remaining characters of the FCC ID, -C8, are often associated with the product model, but they can be random. These letters are chosen by the applicant. In addition to the application, the FCC also publishes internal images, external images, user manuals, and test results for wireless devices.
