Uniden Siren

The app works when the iPhone and radio are connected to the same wifi or when iPhone is remote but connected via VPN to the network that the radio is on. The audio is very flaky though. There is a problem with extreme low volume on bluetooth connected devices. And, if the app is started with headphones already plugged in it still outputs to iPhone speaker instead of to the headphones. Also, Unit IDs are not shown on the app display even though they are set to display on the radio. Come on Uniden, an update to fix these bugs is needed.

Hasn't been updated in over a year. This is barely useable and appears to be a beta version. Only works over a LAN - trying to forward over the Internet (using DMZ or a VPN) results in telemetry, but no audio. The audio is a good 3 seconds behind the data on the screen, replay / recording don't work right, no way to remotely reset the radio, app doesn't close properly, it's just a beta proof of concept to be demoed at a trade show - can't be used in real life. There are much more mature remote control s/w apps out there that do this same thing a lot better. I bought this radio solely for the EDACS PROVOICE decoding (an extra 50 dollar upgrade BTW) and thought the remote would be a nice touch, but come on! No updates to this S/W since last year? It's vaporware. Thank god it was free.

I just put this app on my iPhone and iPad today and so far it’s working great for me. Took a little while to figure it out but after I connected my BCD536HP to my wi fi then entered the IP address from the scanner into the app it started working! I can leave my scanner on but my volume all the way down then listen to the scanner in near real time on my phone or iPad in another room or even in the yard. This way it doesn’t disturb the wife when she’s watching tv as my scanner is in the living room. So far so good.

If you are thinking about buying a $450+ scanner because of this app STOP. It works. The interface design could use a serious refresh (looks like something from the 90s). Missing some important functionality but the basics are there. For what it is worth, if you do get one of the compatible scanners, there are 3rd party utilities (VLC) for computers that will allow you to stream the audio there. That is a pretty decent experience.

I don't know what all the complaints are for, this app works great for me. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is the slight delay in in the audio stream compared to the actual scanner. Also wish I could control more scanner features with it, but either way very happy with it.
