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

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.

PC-

Most of the comments thus far have helpful.

I would suggest avoiding the use of vaseline & stick with the silicone
lubes, valve stem lube, etc (compatible with rubber O-rings).

Depending on the exact design of the camera & O-ring sealing
means.... moisture could be getting in through a different route.
Another thing to consider...sometimes over tightening can reduce
sealing effectiveness.
