ᐅ Flush-mounted video doorbell in external wall insulation system. Should it be pre-installed or prepared in advance?

The external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS) is currently being installed on the construction site. The 10cm (4 inches) insulation boards have already been attached.

I plan to install a flush-mounted video door station. The device is about 5cm (2 inches) deep and weighs around 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds).

Question: Is it better to prepare for this installation now (and if so, how), or can it be cut out later without major problems?

We mounted equipment carriers from Kaiser directly onto the masonry. The insulation will be applied around it.
If the boards are already glued, only insulation anchors will be possible.
Alternatively, they can be glued again.

Direct attachment to the masonry is probably difficult with an installation depth of 5cm (2 inches) and 10cm (4 inches) of insulation plus plaster.

That’s why device "carriers" are used. Just google and find the appropriate model.

AHAA! Thanks! Didn’t know something like that even existed 🙂

Unfortunately, I can't find a suitable one for the sizes. 100x220 is too small...

This is the installation layout I need
