I've got an el-cheapo IP camera that is taking on moisture in heavy

The body is two cylinders joined on an o-ring set into a channel.

Before I got nuts with the silicone seal, is there something more
disassembly-friendly that I can smear on the o-ring to enhance the
resistance to water penetration?
My kneejerk is Vaseline - but, with my luck, that would attack the
o-ring.

I've been using Vaseline on all my in-ground pool piping's O-rings for
years. It has never attacked the o-rings and I've never had to replace
any of them.
The pool was installed in 1986.

PS. I take apart the pool filter every Autumn and store it inside for
the Winter, then reinstall it in the late Spring.
