Kaadas’ New Smart Gate Lock: Face Recognition & App Control for HDB Homes

When you think about home security in Singapore, one thing immediately comes to mind: the iconic HDB gate-and-door setup. For decades, homeowners have accepted that entering their homes meant unlocking two barriers. And while digital door locks have transformed convenience, many still face the daily hassle of juggling groceries, kids, or deliveries while fumbling with both gate and door.
Kaadas listened. After years of feedback, we are proud to unveil a smarter way forward — the Kaadas R9 KFV Gate Lock, a solution designed specifically for the realities of Singapore living.
We’re envisioning this product as a thoughtful response to what HDB homeowners have been asking for: a clear camera view, remote control from anywhere, and one-touch (or one-look) convenience for both gate and door.
Most HDB flats feature both a wooden or metal main door and a metal gate. This double-layer setup offers enhanced safety, but it also comes with daily inconveniences:
- Blocked visibility: A digital door lock with a camera often can’t give you a clear view because the gate obstructs it.
- Double unlocking: Residents have to unlock the gate and then the door separately, even if both are digital.
- Delivery dilemmas: Allowing access to couriers or helpers without being at home can be a headache.
The Kaadas R9 KFV directly addresses these frustrations to improve the way you live.
Introducing the Kaadas R9 KFV Gate Lock
The Kaadas R9 KFV was developed after listening closely to the needs of Singapore homeowners.
“My HDB gate blocks the door camera.”
“I want to control my lock even when I’m not home.”
“Can I open both gate and door at once?”
These common requests shaped the innovation behind the new lock.
What makes the R9 KFV so exciting?
- Face Recognition Unlock – Enjoy effortless, hands-free entry with secure biometric technology.
- Smart App Control with WiFi Integration – Unlock your gate remotely anytime, anywhere, or issue a temporary PIN for guests, helpers, or deliveries.
- Live View Anytime – The built-in camera sits on the gate, giving you a clear, unobstructed view.
- Two-Way Audio + Video Recording – See, speak, save images, and record video directly from your gate.
- Dual Unlock Sync – Stand at your doorstep and unlock both gate and door at once with just a glance.
Get it $679 standalone, or bundled with a Kaadas digital door lock for greater savings.

Why Face Recognition for HDB Homes Is a Game-Changer
Fingerprint and PIN-based access have been popular for years, but face recognition takes things further. For Singapore’s busy families, it’s a breakthrough in both convenience and security.
- Hands-free convenience – Whether you’re carrying shopping bags, managing a stroller, or helping your elderly parents, you can enter without pressing a button.
- Advanced security – Face recognition prevents issues like stolen PINs or cloned cards. With Kaadas’ 3D structured light technology, the system cannot be fooled by photos or videos.
- Perfect for the HDB environment – Because the camera sits at the gate, you finally get an unobstructed view of visitors, couriers, or neighbours.
No more awkward angles. No more juggling keys, groceries, and door handles. Just one seamless step into your home.
R9 KFV vs R8GD: Two Gate Lock Solutions for Different Needs
Kaadas knows that every homeowner has unique priorities. That’s why the brand offers two distinct gate lock models to suit different lifestyles.
Check out the table below for a detailed comparison.

The R8GD remains a solid, dependable choice for those who prefer straightforward functionality at a lower price point. The R9 KFV, meanwhile, represents the next step in smart living, especially for those ready to embrace the latest tech conveniences.
Smart App Control: Security Anywhere, Anytime
For many Singaporeans, life moves quickly. Between work, family, and social commitments, it isn’t always possible to be at home. That’s where the R9 KFV shines.
Through the Kaadas app, you can:
- Unlock remotely when guests, helpers, or couriers arrive.
- Generate temporary PINs that work once or within a set timeframe.
- Monitor real-time activity through the live camera feed.
- Receive instant notifications when someone rings the bell or attempts entry.

- Multi-generational households – Register multiple faces so elderly parents, children, and helpers can enter without keys or PINs.
- Online shopping and deliveries – No need to share permanent PINs; instead, send temporary access codes directly from your phone.
