Now live on Kickstarter, KD10F brings hands-free, privacy-focused front-door access to early backers, with limited Super Early Bird rewards at 48% off.
The next step in smart home security may not be adding more ways to unlock a door. It may be making the act of unlocking disappear into the background.
GHome Smart is putting that idea into KD10F, a hands-free 3D face recognition smart door lock now live on Kickstarter and designed to recognize authorized users as they approach the door.
For many households, getting through the front door still requires one more manual action: reaching for a key, entering a passcode, opening an app, or scanning a fingerprint. KD10F is designed around a simple idea: coming home should not require an extra step.
Walk up, get recognized, and come home without keys, codes, apps, or fingerprint scans. The goal is to make unlocking feel almost invisible.
A Shift Toward Identity-Based Home Access
The launch reflects a broader shift in smart home security: moving from manual unlocking methods toward more automatic, identity-based access. For connected-home products, that shift is not only about convenience. It also raises important questions around trust, biometric data handling, and reliability at one of the most sensitive access points in the home.
KD10F approaches that challenge by combining hands-free recognition, local biometric storage, backup access methods, and app-based remote management into a front-door smart home access solution designed for everyday residential use. Instead of treating face recognition as just another unlock option, KD10F positions it as the primary entry experience for authorized users as they approach the door.
Reducing Friction at the Front Door
“Coming home should feel effortless,” said a GHome Smart spokesperson. “KD10F was designed to reduce unnecessary steps at the front door while keeping security, privacy, and family convenience at the center of the experience.”
The challenge with many smart locks is that they still require users to stop before stepping inside, whether that means entering a code, tapping a phone, scanning a fingerprint, or finding a key. Those actions may seem minor, but they can feel inconvenient when someone has their hands full, when a phone is not easy to reach, or when fingerprints do not work reliably with wet or dirty hands.
For households with children, seniors, caregivers, or frequent visitors, the value is not only convenience. It is flexibility. Different users may prefer different ways to enter, but the main experience KD10F introduces is hands-free recognition for authorized users as they approach.
How KD10F Enables Hands-Free Entry
KD10F uses presence detection to help activate facial recognition as an authorized user approaches the door.
According to GHome Smart, the lock can detect presence from around one meter away and complete recognition and unlocking in as little as 0.8 seconds. The result is a more natural entry flow: walk up, get recognized, and come home with fewer steps.
That hands-free approach is especially useful when users do not have a free hand or prefer not to depend on a phone, passcode, fingerprint, or physical key as the first point of entry.
This also positions KD10F as a contactless smart lock, helping reduce the need to physically interact with the lock during everyday entry.
True 3D Recognition, Not Flat-Image Unlocking
KD10F uses a 3D infrared binocular facial recognition system to capture facial depth data rather than relying on a flat 2D image.
The system combines dual infrared cameras with AI-powered biometric algorithms to analyze facial depth information from multiple perspectives. Similar to how human eyes perceive distance, the two cameras work together to calculate facial structure and depth, helping the system better understand facial structure and depth for authorized recognition.
This depth-based approach helps the lock identify authorized users and reduce the risk of spoofing attempts involving photos, videos, or digital displays. To support reliable recognition throughout the day, KD10F incorporates 850nm infrared illumination, helping the system perform across bright daylight, low-light environments, and nighttime conditions.
For users, the benefit is easy to understand: the lock is not simply looking for a face-shaped image. It is designed to recognize the depth and structure of an authorized face.
Privacy-First Local Biometric Storage
One of the most important questions surrounding facial recognition technology is where biometric data is stored.
According to GHome Smart, biometric data, including facial and fingerprint data, is processed and stored locally on KD10F rather than uploaded to cloud servers or external databases. That local-storage approach gives users greater control over biometric data while reducing concerns associated with cloud-based storage.
For face recognition smart lock, that distinction matters. Convenience may attract attention, but privacy is what helps build trust. GHome Smart positions local storage as a core part of the KD10F experience, helping address one of the key trust concerns often associated with facial recognition technology.
Security Features for Everyday Home Use
KD10F includes tamper-detection alerts, wrong-attempt lockout protection, activity records, real-time notifications, and automatic locking after the door closes. These features are designed to help homeowners stay aware of what is happening at the front door, whether they are at home, at work, traveling, or away from the property.
The goal is not only to make access easier, but to give users more visibility and control over who can enter and when.
Built for Real Households, Not Only Early Adopters
While KD10F introduces advanced facial recognition technology, the product is designed for everyday household use.
Children may forget keys or codes. Some seniors may prefer not to rely on fingerprints or apps. Parents may arrive home with their hands full. Guests, caregivers, cleaners, or service providers may need temporary access.
KD10F is designed for those everyday realities.
The lock supports up to 100 facial profiles, making it suitable for larger households, extended families, or homes that need to manage access for multiple authorized users. It is also designed to operate in temperatures ranging from -4°F to 122°F (-20°C to 50°C), supporting daily use across common seasonal conditions.
Flexible Backup Access When Needed
Hands-free face recognition is the primary experience, but KD10F does not depend on only one way to unlock.
For added flexibility, KD10F also supports passcodes, fingerprint access, app unlock, temporary codes, and mechanical key access. These backup methods give households options when another access method is needed, helping address a common concern with advanced smart locks: what happens if one method is not available?
With KD10F, hands-free recognition remains the central experience, while backup access methods make it practical as a smart lock for families with different routines, comfort levels, and access needs.
Wi-Fi Smart Lock Connectivity and Remote Management
Modern access control extends beyond the moment someone arrives at the door.
With built-in Wi-Fi, KD10F allows homeowners to manage access through the GHome Smart app without requiring a separate gateway. Users can review entry history, check lock status, receive real-time notifications, manage permissions, create temporary access codes, and unlock remotely when needed. That can be useful for family members, guests, caregivers, pet sitters, cleaners, or service providers who may need temporary or scheduled access.
With a rechargeable battery that delivers up to six months of operation on a single charge and proactive low-battery notifications, the lock is designed for reliable day-to-day use. KD10F is also designed to fit most standard U.S. doors and existing deadbolt openings, helping simplify installation for homeowners.
Built on an Established Smart Home Ecosystem
Backers often want to know they are supporting a product from a company with experience in connected devices.
GHome Smart’s broader ecosystem currently supports more than 7.77 million global app users and over 11.5 million activated devices. These figures reflect GHome Smart’s experience developing connected home products for millions of users worldwide.
For backers, that existing ecosystem helps position KD10F as more than a standalone crowdfunding hardware project.
The Next Step in Home Access
The campaign brings GHome Smart’s hands-free home access concept to early adopters through launch rewards and first access to the brand’s latest smart home security product.
Rather than focusing only on adding more unlock options, KD10F is designed to reduce the need to manually unlock the door in the first place. As smart home security technology continues moving toward more automatic and context-aware experiences, KD10F points to a more natural way for households to manage front-door access.
Walk up. Get recognized. Come home.
