Thank for quick response as I'm new to IP cams so I'm trying to learn at first I was going to use the old standby electric tape,(decided against this) so is down heat shrink tap and Silicone tape, is seam to me silicone tape is more versatile

Doesn't hurt to add a touch of Di-electric grease to the connection as well.

I prefer Butyl over silicone for exterior electrical sealing
