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.


The classic and well proven thing to use for such applications is
silicone grease. It is inorganic (obviously) and won't attack rubber.
