I’m a seasoned veteran with Arlo.  I just built a house at the shore and ordered and set up multiple cameras and solar panels.  I’ve had a recurrent and persistent problem with the contact points corroding, both outside and inside the housing.  I’ve had to have housing replaced as well as a solar panel.  Arlo has been fairly good about doing it as these items are essentially brand new but I’ve tried everything including battery terminal protector but the still corrode and discharge.  I climb the ladder take them down clean them in and out and put back, but I can’t keep doing that.  Ideas??  Arlo?  I think you have a design issue.

I heard that Dielectric grease at the contact seam to prevent water entry... it doesn't need alot

It helps but I continue to have problems intermittently.
