if i upgrade to newer base station, would that improve responsiveness of older cameras?

I realize there's always going to be a bottleneck of speed somewhere - camera model, distance to base, my ISP, whatever the max speed ArloCo will allow a camera to transmit, etc, but all things being equal - will a brand new Arlo base station of any model higher than my current one (vmb4000v3 I think?) improve the performance of older Arlo cams? I've got pros & pro2's.

I don't think you'd see any difference at all. If there is a difference due to newer hardware, the overall result is still swamped by all the other factors involved in how the system is architected.

For what it's worth, I had the 4500 and 4000 at the same time and for whatever reason, I feel motion detection response was better with the 4500.  I originally had the 4500 installed with a two camera setup and when I switched base stations to the 4000, the video recording would start at least 6-8 ft later.  I have a post showing the start of the video clip with each station.  Same cameras were used at the same motion sensitivity setting 90%.  I opened a case with Arlo and got the usual runaround and ended up returning the 4000 4-camera kit.
