Keeping your home and business secure shouldn't require expensive equipment or complicated setups. Closeli is a free smart camera app developed by Hangzhou Denghong Technology Co., Ltd. that transforms your Closeli Wi-Fi cameras into a powerful video monitoring system — delivering live streaming, face recognition, PTZ pan-tilt-zoom control, two-way audio, motion and sound detection alerts, cloud storage, and local SD card recording from your smartphone or tablet.
What Is Closeli?
Closeli is the official companion app for Closeli-branded smart cameras, doorbells, and battery-powered security cameras. As a leading provider of video cloud platforms and intelligent hardware, Closeli (formerly known through the YCC365 ecosystem) enables users to view live video feeds, receive intelligent alerts, and manage recordings from anywhere in the world. The app is available on iOS 13.4+ and Android, supports 18 languages, and integrates with Amazon Alexa and Google Home for hands-free voice control.
With a Google Play rating of 2.7 and growing user base of 10K+ downloads, Closeli continues to evolve with frequent updates — releasing 14 versions since its August 2023 launch.

How to Set Up Closeli
Setting up your Closeli camera takes just a few minutes:
- Download the Closeli app from the App Store or Google Play
- Create an account or log in with your existing Closeli credentials
- Power on your Closeli camera and wait for the voice prompt indicating it's ready
- Tap "Add Device" in the app and follow the on-screen instructions
- Connect to Wi-Fi — enter your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi password, then aim the generated QR code at your camera's lens (15–20 cm distance) until the camera beeps to confirm
- Start monitoring — your camera's live feed appears on the dashboard, ready for PTZ control and recording
Important: Closeli cameras only support 2.4GHz Wi-Fi networks. Make sure your router broadcasts a 2.4GHz signal during setup.
Cloud Storage Plans
Closeli offers cloud storage subscriptions for event-triggered video recordings. When your camera detects motion or sound, video clips are automatically uploaded to secure cloud servers — providing off-site backup protection even if the physical camera is damaged or stolen. Cloud playback lets you review historical recordings directly from the app. For users who prefer free storage, Closeli supports local SD card recording at no additional cost.
Smart Home Integration
Closeli cameras work with both Amazon Alexa and Google Home:
- Alexa — View live feeds on Echo Show, Echo Spot, Fire TV, Fire TV Stick, and Fire TV Edition smart TVs by saying "Alexa, show me the front door camera"
- Google Home — Stream camera feeds to Google Nest Hub and other Chromecast-enabled displays through the Google Home app
