The company offers kits with devices that can be controlled directly from a mobile phone or commands through voice assistants. In this video, we’ll share some of our test results on some of the elements, as well as show you how each one works.

  • Smart Camera 360 WiFi
  • Smart universal control
  • Wi-Fi smart socket

About each of them Smart video intercom Positivo comes with a doorbell and as soon as someone rings the intercom, a notification is sent to the mobile phone through the app. The home owner can then access a wide-angle HD camera (with SD option) to check who is in front of the door. It also has night vision and the ability to only record when motion is detected.

It has splash and dust resistance, but is not very stable, so it is important to leave it in conditions without high impact.

While helpful, the main issue here is the battery, as the batteries that come with this product have a lifespan of just under two weeks, and charge changes can only be done by removing the device. This greatly complicates the whole situation, as you do not want to constantly change the intercom battery due to work. There is also a security issue, it is not so difficult to remove the doorbell, you can even screw and fix the part, but taking the case video intercom without a call does not make it impossible for a thief to reset and connect the device to another mobile phone.

already Positivo Smart Camera 360 WiFi it is more focused on the indoor environment and can be used as an electronic babysitter and even pet care. It has the ability to activate bi-directional audio (as positive calls it), which is nothing more than an intercom feature. It’s nice to be heard on the other side.

But the most interesting thing about this camera is that it has a wide field of view and also keeps track of everything that moves. In addition, it has night vision and can detect movements to start recording.

Its problem is the lack of water protection, the poor usability of the application when checking records, and the video format generated directly on the card, which is difficult to access, requires the .Media codec to run on Windows, and yet the file does not allow jumping to certain parts.


O Smart universal control perhaps the most interesting of all because it is simple, cheap and functional. It costs about 100 reais and allows you to control an infrared device.

Here I set it up to control the air conditioner, turn it on/off, change the mode and temperature, and also used it for the TV. On both devices, the app provided a virtual control with multiple buttons to control directly from the mobile phone.

On the positive side, depending on the signal configured, there can be confusion between electronics using infrared. Here at the newsroom, I had a problem with the LED strips whenever I gave some commands to the LG studio TV. I connected both to Alexa, who understood very well and allowed a series of voice commands.

It was also easy for me to sync with Alexa, which even asked me if I plugged in a light bulb to understand when I asked to turn off the light.


OUR Wi-Fi smart lamp was the simplest, mainly because this is a non-RGB lamp, that is, not a color one.
