The Swords of Iron war has dramatically changed the consumption habits of electrical, digital, and electronic products in Israel. Electric Warehouse reports a 2,400% increase in sales of smart doorbells and digital peepholes for entrance doors compared to the same period last year. Additionally, Electric Warehouse reports significant increases in sales of generators (1,800%), power stations (1,400%), emergency lighting (800%), and security cameras (550%).

The demand for smart doorbells and digital peepholes stems from consumers' growing desire to enhance their personal security during this period. These products allow residents to easily see and identify people approaching their door, receive notifications of movement near the door, and even manage a remote conversation with the visitor.

According to Liron Katz, Vice President of Business Development at Electric Warehouse, "The Iron Swords war has undeniably changed consumer habits. Suddenly, we found ourselves trying to stock up on products that have always been considered niche items for us. Products like generators, power stations, security cameras, and the new hit, digital door peepholes."

Katz adds, "The new reality forced us to open an operations center in the company whose sole purpose is to locate manufacturers and importers of smart doorbells and peepholes for the home. From morning till night, they are trying to find inventories worldwide and bring them to Israel at competitive prices."
