  3. Feed the 9-pin Cable out to the rear of the vehicle.

  5. Connect the plug end of the 9-pin cable to any one of the socket ends on the Y-Splitter.

  6. Attach the Tail Piece Mount to the Storm IP Camera making sure the "STORM IP" logo is facing to the side. This will insure the video image is level from side to side. Note: The color of this part may vary.
