In the AI era, Kaadas redefines "a good lock".
The 2025 Double 11 promotion has concluded, and Kaadas, a leading brand in the smart lock industry, has delivered an outstanding performance. It has firmly landed on various major lists, dominating both sales and popularity. The brand's online popularity has exceeded 5 billion, and both its content marketing and event marketing have broken through the traditional boundaries. Among them, the King Kong series P30 ranked first on the top ten hot - selling lists in its category on Tmall, and the Galaxy series Q20 topped the real - time hot - selling product list on JD.com.
Notably, its flagship Legend Master K70 series ranked first on the Douyin's popular soaring product list and achieved a remarkable leap - forward growth compared to the same period offline.
Behind the numbers, a clear signal emerges: the main engine of category growth is shifting towards AI smart locks.
This trend is not an isolated case. According to the prediction of the China Commercial Industry Research Institute, the market scale of China's smart home will reach 945 billion yuan in 2025. In the core scenario of smart security, the "14th - 15th Five - Year Development Research and Industrial Strategic Planning Analysis and Forecast Report on the Smart Lock Industry" points out that in 2025, the market penetration rate of smart locks in China will exceed 35%. Among them, AI smart locks, with core technologies such as human - shape recognition algorithms and large - model integration capabilities, lead in both functional innovation and user reputation.
As the first entry point of the smart home, AI smart locks are becoming the key terminal for the implementation of the "Artificial Intelligence +" strategy. The market scale is expected to exceed 48 billion yuan in 2025, with a compound growth rate of over 30%.
Consumers are no longer satisfied with the basic need of "saying goodbye to keys" and are instead pursuing a deeper, safer, and more intelligent experience. This shift has also pushed the industry competition to a new stage. After the price war, the return of the "technical value" centered on AI has enabled brands like Kaadas, which have the strength of "AI + manufacturing", to stand out.
This company not only showed strong sales performance during Double 11 but also received authoritative recognition from the industry. iiMedia Research recently awarded Kaadas four certifications, including "Global Pioneer of AI Smart Locks" and "No.1 Brand of AI Smart Locks in China", further consolidating its industry position.
Looking back at Kaadas' growth path, the key lies in its early layout of AI technology R & D and the establishment of engineering capabilities to transform it into stable products.
In Kaadas' vision, the integration of AI is not just a function overlay. Instead, through systematic technological innovation, it promotes a transformation of the product's role - from a passive access control tool to an "intelligent entity" that can actively perceive, make intelligent decisions, and continuously evolve.
A "quiet but profound" value upgrade is quietly taking place at the doors of thousands of households.
01 Redefining "A Good Lock" in the Intelligent Era
The AI - enabled transformation of smart door locks is essentially a leap in ability from "recognition" to "cognition".
Traditional fingerprint locks solve the problem of "not carrying keys", while AI technology further addresses deeper - level pain points in use. For example, in special scenarios such as worn fingerprints of the elderly and shallow fingerprints of children, AI smart locks can achieve higher - precision identification through multi - dimensional recognition and adaptive algorithms, making the lock usable by the whole family instead of just some people.
This transformation reflects the inclusiveness that smart products should have. When technology starts to understand human differences instead of making people adapt to technology, the entrance to the home truly gains a sense of warmth.
On the basis of accurate identification, AI is also continuously expanding the value boundary of wisdom, further transforming the door lock from "passive closing" to "active protection". By integrating visual perception technology, AI smart locks can actively perceive and judge abnormal behaviors and risks in front of the door 24/7 - such as people lingering for a long time or abnormal prying - and promptly send warnings to users. Home security has shifted from post - event tracing to pre - event prevention.
The AI cloud capability gives the door lock the vitality of "continuous growth". Through OTA online upgrades, the functions and algorithms of the door lock can be continuously optimized. More importantly, as the physical entrance of the home, it is establishing in - depth linkage with the whole - house devices: automatically turning on the lights when opening the door, activating the defense mode when leaving home, and switching the scenario mode according to different family members' identities... The door lock is becoming the "scenario switch" of the whole - house smart system.
In October this year, with the release of the "AI Smart Lock" group standard during the China International Hardware Exhibition, the industry reached a consensus on the technical specifications of such products for the first time. As one of the standard drafters, Kaadas' products such as the Legend Master K70 SE have passed the tests first and become the first batch of products that meet the new standard. This process not only promotes the standardization of the industry but also confirms the leading position of leading enterprises in technology implementation.
02 Where Does the "Confidence" of "AI + Manufacturing" Come From?
The establishment of industry standards often means the maturity of technology. Transforming AI into an experience trusted by millions of families requires the dual support of technology and manufacturing.
The sales volume during this year's Double 11 is the best answer, indicating that Kaadas has transformed the technical concept of "AI + manufacturing" into a tangible safety experience for users in daily life.
Kaadas' manufacturing strength provides crucial support for the reliable implementation of its AI technology. The company's super factories in Wenzhou and Zhuhai have introduced the Industrial Internet 4.0 model, establishing a direct channel from technology R & D to large - scale manufacturing through automated production lines and professional testing laboratories.
This "integration of R & D and manufacturing" system is the source of Kaadas' confidence in passing strict international certifications. Taking the German Rheinland TÜV safety certification as an example, this certification includes 13 extreme - environment tests covering scenarios such as low temperature, salt spray, and strong magnetic interference, and is one of the important reference systems for the hardware product strength in various technology industries.
As one of the first AI smart locks to pass this certification, the Kaadas Legend Master K70 SE proves that its cutting - edge experiences such as "seamless access" under AI recognition do not come at the cost of sacrificing the long - term stability of the product.
On top of the "confidence" in R & D and manufacturing, Kaadas' AI application capabilities make it stand out in the smart lock category. Its "AI Dual Security System" is a complete solution that combines local instant response and cloud - based intelligent analysis, clearly demonstrating the value of AI smart hardware in the physical and digital worlds.
On the device side, the built - in AI chip enables the door lock to recognize explicit threats such as lock - prying in milliseconds and issue sound and light alarms on the spot, blocking risks immediately without relying on the network. In the cloud, the system can identify more complex behavioral intentions through continuous learning of the images in front of the door - such as abnormal lingering of people, regional intrusion, and even achieve "package care": it can automatically recognize express deliveries and notify users in time when they are taken away abnormally.
Beyond security, AI is also reshaping the interaction mode between people and door locks. Kaadas' "AI Editor" function can automatically select the most valuable dynamic clips in front of the door and generate a daily video summary, allowing users to quickly grasp the situation in front of the door.
The "AI Intelligent Search" function allows users to use natural language, such as "people wearing red coats" or "couriers after 3 pm", to search and accurately locate the corresponding video segments. AI significantly lowers the technical threshold for video search, making surveillance data usable and easy to use for ordinary people.
The integration of these AI application capabilities marks that AI smart locks are evolving from simple security devices to intelligent "front - door event management centers". It not only protects safety but also improves the efficiency of users' information acquisition and interaction experience.
Nowadays, Kaadas invests nearly 10% of its annual revenue in R & D, has more than 711 patents, and a global R & D team of hundreds of people. The competitiveness of the "Kaadas model" has been quickly verified in the global market. The company has been included in the "Forbes China's Top 30 Global Leading Brands Going Global" for two consecutive years. Its products have entered 36 countries and regions around the world, with cumulative sales exceeding 10 million sets, achieving a key leap from "product going global" to "brand going global".
In the wave of industrial transformation from "Made in China" to "Intelligently Made in China", Kaadas provides a reference path for the globalization of smart home brands.
03 The "Warmth of Wisdom" of AI Smart Locks in the Future
In the future, the technological evolution of smart door locks will develop towards more accurate security identification and stronger scenario perception.
Currently, Kaadas has built a complete biometric technology system centered on a training database of over one million real - person data. This system operates in coordination to ensure ultra - fast and accurate identification within 0.6 seconds, making "seamless door opening" a reality.
From the perspective of the entire smart home industry, this ability also breaks the limitation of traditional industrial products being "one - size - fits - all", enabling the lock to adapt to the usage habits of different family members and become a more personalized family partner. While the interaction between people and hardware becomes personalized, smart home products are also learning from each other. Instead of being isolated products, they are jointly evolving towards a warm and intelligent space.
On the other hand, the warmth of AI is also reflected in more delicate care scenarios. The system can analyze the entry and exit patterns of family members and send timely reminders to other family members when an abnormality is detected - such as an elderly person living alone not going out for a long time or a child going out alone at an abnormal time.
The responsibility of the door has extended from protecting property to protecting the behaviors and emotions of family members.
As technology deepens, the future imagination of AI smart locks is far beyond the extreme of single - product functions. Kaadas' next step is to achieve more natural human - machine interaction and smarter scenario understanding on the basis of safety and convenience.
Currently, Kaadas has connected to Alibaba's Tongyi Qianwen large - model and started in - depth cooperation. At the same time, it continues to explore more intelligent voice interaction and image analysis capabilities. It is also actively planning to connect to mainstream smart home ecosystems such as Apple HomeKit and Huawei HarmonyOS, and will achieve "point - to - surface" scenario - based services in the future.
Kaadas' "breakout" path confirms the trend revealed by institutions such as iiMedia Research: the high threshold of AI technology and ecological cooperation is establishing new game rules. Traditional enterprises lacking self - research and innovation capabilities will face the survival challenge of "either restructuring or falling behind".
Although Double 11 is regarded as a marketing battlefield, in the field of smart locks and even the entire consumer IoT, the competition driven by AI is essentially a war of "category upgrading".
As consumers increasingly value the value of new technologies, in the long run, the final winners may not be those "marketing experts". Brands like Kaadas, which integrate the technical depth of AI, user needs, and humanistic care, will go further and more steadily and ultimately enter the homes of more consumers.
When AI truly integrates into life, the value is often reflected in those unnoticed daily moments: the convenience of the air - conditioner and lights turning on silently when family members return, the peace of mind of the elderly living alone receiving care reminders, and the calmness of office workers knowing that the devices automatically activate the defense mode after they rush out.
What Kaadas pursues is to make cutting - edge technology "invisible" and safeguard a safe and convenient way home for every family around the world in every ordinary day.
