eli5 “This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.”

I purchased a wyze cam, and this caught my attention while reading the fcc radiation exposure statement in the quick start guide.

Is this to be concerned about? My PC will be in the same room, and it does have a wifi adapter with antennas.

Tia!

Nothing to worry about. They have to put that label on there to comply with FCC regulations regarding interference and range of the transmitting device. These regulations exist to prevent crosstalk, spurious emissions, interfering with other radio transmitters in the area, and to keep the range within the intended specifications. There’s no danger from ionizing radiation or anything like that. Almost any product that transmits a radio signal will have a similar warning label.

It’s weird law that no transmitter be allowed to interfere with another, but that same law also specifies the device must tolerate interference from other transmitters.

FCC likes to wet their beak in just about everything.

That label means wyze didn’t certify the product as a whole device but used a pre-certified transmitter module in it. The warning applies to products with the same warning. Co-located means within 8 inches.
