What is your take on Di-Electric Grease for Cat6 camera connections... especially in humid and wet locations?
Di-Electric Grease on Cat6

I use it ever since I was having intermittent problems with a Ubiquiti radio. Put grease on the connection and problem went away.

Doesn't matter. Your local Home Depot or Auto parts store has it in the Electrical dept.

One of the companies we work with is strongly suggesting we use a product called CorrosionX on connections to their components, rather than the traditional dielectric grease type stuff.
FWIW, the dielectric grease we use is Nyogel 760G.

From what I can see that appears to be a cleaner aerosol like deoxit or cramolin? Not an actual thick viscosity "grease" that will remain and protect the connection. It seems to be a cleaner which will dissipate?
It has cleaning activity and corrosion protection.
There are several varieties but the stuff I've used, specifically the HD variant, is not a grease in the sense of typical dielectric grease type of consistency. But, it is not like a DeOxit D5 spray (which I always keep on hand) nor a cleaner that evaporates like contact cleaner. It definitely leaves a coating/film.
See here, about 1:55 in, for what the CorrosionX HD looks like.
