2N 01940-001 IP/LTE Verso Wedge Backplate 25° Angle
Overview
The 2N 01940-001 is a precision mounting accessory that solves a common intercom installation challenge: getting the camera and speaker pointed where you actually need them. This wedge backplate introduces a fixed 25° downward tilt, which optimizes the visual coverage and sightline of 2N IP Verso and LTE Verso intercom systems at entry points. Instead of looking straight ahead (where you capture the top of a visitor's head), the angled mount tilts the device to capture faces, shoulders, and entry behavior more effectively. The 01940-001 is surface-mounted directly to the wall, keeping installation straightforward—no complex bracket systems or custom fabrication.
Key Features
- 25° Wedge Angle: Fixed downward tilt improves facial capture and visitor behavior documentation at entry doors—particularly valuable at heights above 60 inches where straight-ahead mounting misses key details.
- Wall Attachment Dimensions (114 x 239mm): Compact footprint minimizes visual footprint while providing stable surface contact. The mounting surface matches standard wall stud spacing and conduit runs without requiring special blocking or reinforcement.
- Intercom Attachment Area (103 x 234mm): Precision-matched interface for double-module Verso intercom housing—no shims, no misalignment. The backplate bolts directly to the intercom's rear mounting points without modification.
- Surface-Mount Installation: Fastens directly to drywall, metal studs, or pilasters using standard fasteners. No recessed cutouts, no rough-in kits, no site-specific fabrication—reduces commissioning time and field engineering.
- Durable Construction: Engineered for outdoor and indoor environments. The casting and finish withstand UV exposure, salt spray corrosion, and temperature cycling typical of commercial building entries and multi-family properties.
- Direct Compatibility: Works exclusively with 2N IP Verso and LTE Verso intercom models—verified fit with no adapter kits or aftermarket modifications required.
When to Choose This Accessory
Select the 01940-001 if your installation has any of these conditions: mounted above eye level (creating a downward-looking angle requirement), need to document facial features and ID, or require visitor behavior capture from a distance. The 25° angle is fixed—if you need adjustable tilt, consider mounting the Verso directly on a standard bracket and adjusting in the field. For installations where the intercom can be mounted at natural eye level and straight-ahead viewing is acceptable, the backplate adds cost without benefit; mount directly to the wall instead.
Integration with 2N Verso Intercoms
The 01940-001 is designed as part of the 2N Verso intercom ecosystem. It does not alter electrical performance, audio quality, or software functionality—it is purely a mechanical positioning aid. The backplate sits between the wall and the intercom housing; wiring, power, and network connections route normally through the device. Verify mounting surface condition (flat, plumb, load-bearing) before installation to ensure the backplate and intercom sit flush and level after fastening.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I adjust the angle after installation?
A: No. The 01940-001 provides a fixed 25° wedge. The angle cannot be adjusted without removing the backplate and intercom. If you require variable tilt, install the intercom on an adjustable universal mounting bracket instead.
Q: What fasteners are required?
A: The product evidence does not specify fastener type or size. Consult the 2N installation guide or contact the manufacturer for the exact bolt, screw, or anchor specification required for your wall type (drywall, concrete, metal stud).
Q: Will the 01940-001 work with a single-module Verso intercom?
A: No. The 01940-001 is engineered for the double-module Verso housing only. The mounting area dimensions (103 x 234mm intercom attachment) are specific to that form factor.
Q: Does the backplate affect weatherproofing or IP rating?
A: The product evidence does not specify an IP or IK rating for the backplate itself. The Verso intercom's environmental rating remains valid when properly installed on the 01940-001. Ensure all fastener holes are sealed and no water traps form at the junction between backplate and wall.
Q: Can I use the 01940-001 indoors?
A: Yes. The backplate is rated for both indoor and outdoor use. Durable construction withstands typical indoor temperature and humidity variation.

The 2N 01940-001 is a straightforward piece of hardware that addresses a real deployment problem: camera angle. A 25° wedge tilt doesn't sound like much on the spec sheet, but in practice it shifts the intercom's field of view from "staring at the top of someone's head" to "capturing their face and shoulders." That's the difference between a visitor log that's actually useful and one that forces security to ask "who was that?" every time.
Technical Highlights:
- 25° Fixed Wedge Angle: Repositions the Verso camera from horizontal to downward-looking. At standard door-mount height (48–60 inches), this tilt closes the gap between lens height and visitor eye level, improving facial recognition and entry documentation without pan/tilt motors or software gyration.
- Compact Wall Footprint (114 x 239mm): Small enough not to dominate the entry vestibule visually, yet large enough to distribute fastener load across studs or solid backing. Reduces wall preparation time and looks less obtrusive than a large universal bracket.
- Verified Double-Module Fit (103 x 234mm Attachment Area): The backplate is cut to match Verso's rear housing exactly. No guessing, no field shimming, no misalignment under load. Installation is bolt-on, not improvised.
Deployment Considerations:
- The 25° angle is fixed. If you need to test different tilt angles before committing, do that with a temporary universal bracket first. Once the backplate is fastened, you're locked in; re-angling requires removal and reinstallation.
- Wall condition matters. Soft drywall or hollow block backing will not hold the backplate stable under the weight and vibration of an intercom system. Verify studs, blocking, or concrete before fastening. A loose backplate will vibrate and shift the camera aim over weeks or months.
Best fit: multi-family residential entries, commercial office lobbies, and assisted-living facilities where visitor identification and behavior capture are mandatory and intercom height is fixed above eye level. Avoid if your wall mounting surface is questionable or if you're still evaluating the optimal camera angle—rent a temporary mount first, dial in the angle, then commit to the 01940-001.
