There may be several reasons why the cameras needed FCC approval. If the camera has a microprocessor that operates above 1.705 MHz or connects to one that does. I'm not sure if these cameras have microprocessors in them, they probably do, but I know they do connect to the USB port of any computer. The cable can act as an antenna and either receive or transmit signals from or to the computer. As a matter of fact, the one I have has a ferrite bead molded onto the cable about an inch from the camera end suggesting the noise comes from the camera. Another requirement is if a digital device consumes more than 6 nanowatts and I'm sure this does, even though it runs off of two AA batteries. You would be surprised as to how many different types of devices have to be approved by the FCC.
