Baby Watch Plus is a free baby monitor companion app by Uniden Australia — live video streaming, real-time alerts, remote pan/tilt control, video playback, snapshot capture, and family group sharing for Uniden BW5151R series and compatible baby monitors.
Yes. Baby Watch Plus is completely free to download and use on both iOS and Android. There are no subscription fees, in-app purchases, or premium tiers. All features including live streaming, alerts, pan/tilt control, playback, and snapshots are included at no cost.
Baby Watch Plus works exclusively with Uniden Baby Watch monitor cameras. Confirmed compatible models include the BW5151R series (the primary supported model), BW6141R, BW6151R, BW6181R, and BW515PTR. The app does not support cameras from other brands. Check your monitor's model number to confirm compatibility.
Download Baby Watch Plus from the App Store or Google Play, create a Baby Watch Plus account, then follow the in-app setup wizard. Power on your Uniden baby monitor and connect it to your home Wi-Fi network through the app. Make sure your phone and camera are on the same Wi-Fi network during initial configuration. The app provides step-by-step instructions to complete the pairing process.
Yes. Baby Watch Plus allows you to stream live video from your Uniden baby monitor from anywhere in the world, as long as your phone and the camera both have internet access. You can use Wi-Fi or mobile data on your phone to view the feed remotely.
Yes. You can add and control multiple Uniden baby monitors from a single Baby Watch Plus account. This is useful if you have cameras in different rooms such as the nursery, playroom, or living area. You can switch between camera feeds within the app.
Yes. Baby Watch Plus includes a Family Group feature (added in version 2.0) that allows you to invite other family members to monitor through their own devices. Each family member needs to install the app and create their own account. The primary account holder sends an invitation to add them to the family group.
This is a known limitation reported by some users. Baby Watch Plus may not maintain background audio streaming when the phone screen is locked or when you switch to another app. To continue hearing audio from the baby monitor, keep the app open and the screen on. Some users use their phone's screen timeout settings to keep the display active longer.
Baby Watch Plus itself does not record video continuously. However, it can play back video clips that are recorded locally on your Uniden baby monitor's storage. You can also take snapshots from the live feed and save them to your phone's photo gallery.
If your Uniden baby monitor shows as offline in Baby Watch Plus, check the following: ensure the camera has power and the indicator light is active, verify your Wi-Fi network is working, confirm the camera is within Wi-Fi signal range, and try restarting both the camera and your router. If the problem persists, reset the camera and reconfigure it through the app. Contact Uniden support at [email protected] for further assistance.

Works well for monitoring our newborn! The live feed is reliable and I get notifications when the baby cries or moves. Setup was straightforward with the BW5151R. Pan and tilt control is smooth and responsive. Only wish the audio would keep playing when I switch to another app on my phone.
Using this with two Uniden cameras — one in each twin's room. The multi-camera feature works great for switching between feeds. Picture quality is clear both day and night. The Family Group feature is helpful so my wife and I can both monitor. Reliable enough for daily use.
My daughter set this up for me so I could watch the baby when I visit. Very easy to use — just open the app and there's the baby! The snapshot feature is wonderful for saving cute moments. I love being able to check in from my own phone even when I'm at my house.
Does what it says — streams video from the Uniden baby cam to my phone. Picture quality is decent and alerts work. My main complaint is that audio stops when the phone is locked, which defeats the purpose of a baby monitor. Would be great if they fixed background audio playback.
Functional app for the Uniden baby monitor. Setup process was a bit finicky with my Wi-Fi but once connected it's been stable. Video quality is adequate and the pan/tilt control lets me see the whole crib area. Wish there were more advanced features like sleep tracking or temperature display.
Purchased the Uniden BW5151R and this app works perfectly with it. I can check on my baby from anywhere — even when I'm at work. The motion notifications are prompt and the video loads quickly. Very happy with this setup as a budget-friendly baby monitoring solution.
Solid baby monitor app. Paired easily with our Uniden camera and the live streaming has been very reliable over the past 6 months. The ability to share access with my wife through Family Group is a nice touch. Would rate 5 stars if background audio was supported.
Exactly what we needed! Simple, reliable, and free. The camera pairs quickly and the live feed is clear. I especially love the snapshot feature for capturing sweet sleeping moments. Pan and tilt lets me follow my toddler as he moves around the room. No complaints!
Works as a basic baby monitor app. Video streaming is smooth when on the same Wi-Fi, slightly slower on mobile data. Pan/tilt controls are good. The app hasn't been updated in a while which is a bit concerning. Functional but could use some modern UI improvements.
The app does its job monitoring the baby room. Picture quality is fine and the alerts work as expected. Setup took a few tries but eventually got it working. Main drawback is no continuous background audio — I have to keep the app open on screen to hear the baby, which drains battery.
Keeping an eye on your baby while away from the nursery is every parent's priority. Baby Watch Plus is a free mobile baby monitor companion app developed by UNIDEN AUSTRALIA PTY. LIMITED for iOS and Android. Designed to work exclusively with Uniden Baby Watch monitor cameras — particularly the BW5151R series — the app turns your smartphone into a full-featured remote baby monitoring station with live video streaming, real-time alerts, remote pan and tilt control, video playback, and snapshot capture. With over 5,000 downloads on Google Play and availability on the App Store, Baby Watch Plus serves parents who want reliable, hardware-connected baby monitoring from any location.
Baby Watch Plus delivers real-time video streaming from your Uniden baby monitor camera directly to your smartphone. Whether you are in another room, at the office, or traveling, you can check on your baby at any time through a live feed over Wi-Fi or mobile data. The app is designed for continuous viewing with minimal latency, giving parents peace of mind that they can always see their child.
The app sends instant push notifications when your Uniden baby monitor detects motion or sound in the nursery. This proactive alert system means you do not need to watch the live feed constantly — the app will notify you immediately when something happens. Whether your baby wakes up, moves, or cries, you will receive an alert on your phone so you can respond quickly.
For Uniden baby monitors with pan-tilt capability, Baby Watch Plus provides intuitive on-screen controls that let you remotely adjust the camera's viewing angle. Swipe to pan across the room or tilt the camera up and down to cover every corner of the nursery. This is particularly useful for larger rooms or when your baby moves around the crib.
Baby Watch Plus supports playback of both remote and local video clips recorded by your Uniden baby monitor. Review events that triggered alerts, check footage from specific times, or simply watch recordings of your baby sleeping. The app provides access to clips stored on the camera's local storage, giving you a timeline of nursery activity.
With a single tap, you can capture a snapshot from the live video feed and save it directly to your phone's photo gallery. This feature is perfect for saving sweet moments of your baby or documenting any concerns you want to share with your pediatrician or partner.
Baby Watch Plus allows you to add and control multiple Uniden baby monitors from a single app. If you have cameras in multiple rooms — the nursery, playroom, or living area — you can switch between them seamlessly. The Family Group feature (added in version 2.0) lets you invite other family members to monitor through their own devices, so both parents, grandparents, or caregivers can watch the baby simultaneously.
Baby Watch Plus is designed exclusively for Uniden Baby Watch hardware. Confirmed compatible models include:
The app does not support cameras from other manufacturers. Check your monitor's model number before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
