I've got a few IP cameras down at the New Jersey shore where they are
subject to the typical marine environment.

Even the indoor connections are eventually affected.

Been using some stuff from Radio Shack (two cans: "DeOxit DN5" to clean
and "DeOxit GN5" to condition/protect after cleaning).

I use it on the RJ45 plugs and the RJ45 receptacles - which are
sometimes visibly blackened by the time a problem surfaces.

It works, but the cans are very small (14g net) and the stuff's not
cheap.

Anybody got an alternative that comes in larger containers?

You can use the dn5 in the full strength container, and mix it with alcohol
as a drip on fluid.

deoxit is a 5% mixture of the red stuff.

Actually, WD -40 works better as a cleaner.

I'm not sure If silicon grease is the best for water control. I think some
car recepticals come with it, or marine connections.

CRC 2-26 is pretty good as a do all. You can find it in the big can.

LPS-3 might work as a sealer.
