So many things wrong with this, it’s not even worth getting into. Just don’t buy.
I’m surprised it’s still on the market because it’s just a failure in every way possible.

When you turn it on it makes a very loud beep sound that wakes baby up. The battery life is useless lasting at most 5 hours otherwise you need both the camera and the hand hold plugged in constantly. The range is also terrible as we could be just in the next room and it says out of range. Such a complete waste of money!

I have had 3 of this monitor over the last 7 years ans never had any issues with any of them. The first one the camera was broken by baby #1 (because we had left it in a stupid place after travelling) uniden replaced it and as it was in warranty. 2nd monitor worked perfectly for 3 years until baby #2 had grown put of it and I sold it as we weren't planning anymore children. 3rd monitor bought when baby #3 arrived and ghastly been used for 10 months, no issues. The newest one does have better range I feel but all were quite reasonable. (800m2 bl...
Read moreock on cul-de-sac and works well up the street while watching older kids ride bikes) The parent monitor lasts all day unplugged on power saving mode. The camera lasts unplugged from power for a few hours, I've used it to nap baby in porta cot while visiting friends and now having to take the power supply. I think if you're expecting the camera to compare to a security camera, you're expecting too much tbh, most baby monitors require power supply at all times. There are not many around with rechargable batteries. The thermostat is probably not too accurate but that's not a concern to me really. I keep on vol 1 at all times until I'm outdoors and it's loud enough for me to hear baby wake while I'm going about my day, but not too loud that I can't sleep of a night. We play white noise in baby's bedroom, so naturally that can be heard through the monitor which hubby found difficult to adjust to sleeping with. But that's not sound from the camera itself. I have heard people complain if the parent monitor losing date and time settings - that only occurs if you allow the parent monitor battery to go flat. I love the monitor, I love the rechargeable battery, the clip on the camera, the audio and picture quality, its easy to use. I've recommended to several friends, all of who also love it. I almost feel like I should be hitting uniden up for commission the way I talk up this monitor tbh, I love it that much ha!

I purchased this monitor souly for the fact it can clip onto the side of the cot as we have no where to sit a monitor, It looked great and worked straight out of the box, so no set up required so i was pleased with my choice. however after about a week the monitor would always say out of range even when in the same room. i contacted uniden but none of their troubleshooting solutions worked and after some research i found similar reviews and it seemed to be common issue. i returned it to the place of purchase and they offered a replacement. i ag...
Read morereed and gave it another go. glad i did because the new one hasn't missed a beat. its nice and clear and has a good rage. my son also loves the inbuilt lullabys- helps drown out his loud siblings. anyways, i thought i would share my experience incase others had issues with a dud. im happy with my purchase for the pricePurchased in at Baby Bunting for $140.

We have just set up a BW5151R and the main camera works. Trying to pair the second camera (B3000) and keeps saying “device is not bound”. I am charging the unit, pressing the “pair”
Button and tried the reset button. There are no lights on the front of the monitor just green charging and green power on button.
Please help as it’s brand new out of the box!

Was great for the first week or so then started saying out of range when I could be in same room. Image flickered on only occasionally. Very disappointed. Don't recommend.

Very disappointed in the camera battery life. (6hrs if we're lucky!) I have wireless security cameras around my house which last for months and are regularly being activated (day & night).
Some folks have said "just leave it plugged in" but this results in a danger to children regarding the thin power cord and I would be cautious regarding the potential overheating & fire hazard due to the camera being constantly plugged in to its power supply.
I also note that there is insufficient information (i.e. none) on the packaging that covers off the ...

Says out if range constantly. I've woken up in the middle of the night To it saying out of range 3 times now. Luckily my baby was asleep still or I wouldn't have known he was awake because this monitor doesn't work 70% if the time. It works if Ur monitor is literally touching the camera that's it. DO NOT BUY.

We bought this unit 15 months ago. Connectivity was always an issue. We found we had to be within 5-8 metres of the camera meaning we couldn't go outside of our living room as the unit was in the bedroom on the other side of the wall.
The last three months, random lines would appear on the screen. They would come on, the screen would go black for a second, then the unit would be back to normal. This week, the screen went completely white. There is still sound but no display.
I contacted Uniden who advised me that the unit only had a 12 mont...
Read moreh warranty and we would need to pay for the unit to be repaired. Repairs start at $55 and we would also need to pay for postage to and from the factory over east. They could not advise of a repair cost just that they start at $55 and can go up based on the repair. I could understand the unit breaking if it was thrown around or mistreated however, it has never been dropped and has always been taken care of. Based on these issues, we will be getting a new unit that is not uniden. Paying $150 every year for a new unit because the old one breaks just outside of warranty each time is not viable.Purchased in at JB Hi-Fi for $150.

I have 4 Uniden BW-3000 cameras, and now have two broken cameras due to the mounts being broken (in the same spot!) clearly a design failure. Out of Warranty, so Uniden want to charge me $55 PER Camera to have repaired. Better value to buy a whole new camera unit. However this time, I will not buy Uniden, and will buy another brand. Terrible customer service, and only wanting more money.

I've tried every troubleshooting method possible but the camera just does not work. Audio is ok, but there is no image on the camera. I've tried factory reset, pairing the camera, turning it on and off. I thought it might be a signal strength issue but it wont even work when the camera and monitor are even in the same room.
I just want a monitor to work!!

Day & Night visual quality is great. It has a good field-of-view and having the large clip even let you use it on thin sided cotts/beds.

Always keep plugged in to power when used for nightly sleep monitoring.
The Audio: Camera to monitor is great. Even on the lowest volume you can clearly hear the important movements, coughs and... farts your...

Hi Robert,
Can you please confirm if you have the BW3001 or another Uniden model?...
Read more The BW3001 model is not compatible for remote view via an app. Unfortunately, the on/off key sound is a default feature and can't be changed. Sorry for the inconvenience.- 4 reviews

Great video/sound quality for the price and has a very decent range.
The monitor battery doesn't last long when unplugged (4 to 5 hours max).
I bought mine in 2015.
Now (2019) we are waiting for the second baby, I replaced the batteries (batteries last a couple of years and took me some time to find them) and we are ready again :)

We just purchased the uniden 3001 and the camera keeps turning off causing the ‘out of range message’ on the parent unit. Does anyone know what is going on? We bought a second camera and they both do it - so it must be a setting?
I’m trying to connect my phone but I cannot get the camera to reset as per instructions on the app, what do I do?
I just bought the BW31xx series how long do the batteries on the cameras last before you need to recharge them?
Hi,
Please be advised that the battery for the cameras are for backup purposes. The cable should be connected all the time....
