Features & Capabilities

Uniden Siren is Uniden's scanner control app for the BCD536HP. The Chrome extension lets you listen to and control your scanner over a WiFi link—either directly to the scanner or over a local intranet connection.

Version 1 focuses on monitoring and control in scan mode, with future updates planned to add more capabilities. Your scanner must be running the latest firmware to use the app.

User Reviews

Users report that Siren can work over a home LAN/WiFi and stream audio to iOS devices, even in the background. However, stability is the big issue: frequent crashes, no updates for years, and only basic remote-control capability. Audio often delays relative to the scanner, and Bluetooth output is not supported. Setup for external access is also seen as complex. Overall, potential exists for local use, but the app is widely viewed as abandoned and in need of a polished update.

Pros

Works over local network (LAN/WiFi) with compatible scanners, enabling remote listening within the home.
Runs in the background, continuing to stream audio even when you switch to another app.
Audio can be streamed to iPhone/iPad over LAN or VPN for remote listening.

Cons

Frequent crashes and unresponsiveness; app is unstable and unreliable.
Long periods without updates; widely viewed as abandoned or in beta.
Limited remote-control functionality; cannot adjust volume or access full scanner features; not polished.
Noticeable audio delay between the scanner and the app.
Lacks Bluetooth/headphone audio output; audio often only plays through the phone speaker.

I have Zero issues with this program run off a SRS200

by St*****, 2025-06-28

I try to use this on my SDS200. Rarely works even with a dedicated wired LAN connection. Frustrating to operate and often just stops responding. Tapping the mute button on the app is an automatic crasher. Hasn’t been updated in 9 years. This app is an orphaned afterthought. Too bad. It could have been very useful. I’d have paid for a robust mobile solution.
