Good for retrofit
Would RecommendBought this because after taking down old vanity lights to replace them I discovered no electric boxes in the wall. This was intended to be retrofitted into the drywall however I had framing in the way that required me to use a box that wasn’t as deep.

Best electrical box for installing cameras, fits any utility and mounting with a hole saw into walls, well you’re going to agree on this is the box for the job, well made easy adaptable for securing if you have inch and a half wall or less your done quickly, otherwise glue the box in for perfection.
