Uniden Siren

Has not been updated for several years. Functional but only in very basic form, and could do much more.

It has become obvious that Uniden created this app just so that they could claim they had an app that could control their scanners. And it does - to some degree. But functionality is very limited and is generally more trouble it is worth. The fact they have made little or no attempt to improve the app for years speaks volumes. Overall very disappointing, as it could be so much better. The iPhone has more than enough ability to provide and edit the entire database, but there is not even a token effort to do this.

This is probably an orphan app but it is still usable, at least within a local area network…

Does it work?….yes it can 🤔 Is it finicky?….you betcha! 🫤 Is it unpolished?…yep! 🫤 Does it look like a high school class project?….definitely! 🫤 I’m not going to crab about the 3 second delay. It doesn’t matter if I’m in another part of the house. With all this said…as I write this…I AM listening to my BCD536 on my iPhone14+ in another part of my house via local LAN. Far away from the 536. Nice👍 If I switch to another app…Siren continues working in the background. Nice! 👍 I have waited years for this functionality! And it’s finally here! Frankly, I gave up on any hope of a remote control app. Perhaps it’s simply class action lawsuit avoidance. Don’t sue us…We fulfilled our promise(barely) My hope is that Uniden will continue to improve this app or at least let another development team clean it up. 7 YEARS WITHOUT ANY UPDATE ?!? I WOULD PAY (can you hear me Uniden? I WOULD PAY) to use a much more polished and stable app. Like many others have pointed out…this app looks and functions like a beta convention demo app. But it can work!! I enjoy using my Uniden scanners. I own 4 different models. They work well. Please don’t let Siren die 😵 on the vine.

Remember to use the app and get the most out of it. 1 put your WiFi in the BCD536HP 2 look inside the radio WiFi information To see that the ip is there. 3 on you siren app. Information; settings; before you hit agree, check you have to put the same IP address in the siren as the radio has. 4 if you ever have a issue hit on the app. Information; setting agree. It will come right back. 5 if the app. Is not responding pull the USB out of the BCD536HP and plug it back in. I’ve used this app. For two and a half years. Most of the problems people have with this is they don’t know what they are doing.

This needs to be updated.

That’s all I ask for- audio out capability to bluetooth headphones. Otherwise the app is good enough.

The siren app worked fine with my BCD536HP connected to WiFi. My new SDS200 is connected to the Ethernet port and I get no audio from the siren app.

The possibilities are endless! But …still not right.

Anyone who has purchased the bcd536 scanner and were lied to about this function, I ask you to go to consumeraffairs.com to sign up and write a review of how there is no U.I. For the wifi function. It's time for retribution! This scanner cost too much for them to get away with this! Got a reply from consumer affairs. They need more reviews to publish a uniden page. Sign up! Speak up!
