Are The SYNC Buttons On VMB4500USB and VMB5000SD Solely For Cameras? Not About The Base?

Note: 📝

While Adding a New VMB5000SD To The VMB4500USB I Already Had On My Setup, I Realized The VMB5000 Reset Actually Took Holding The Paper Clip In For 20-25 Seconds, Then It Went From Alternating Flashing Amber/Blue To Solid Blue While The Base With Serial Number Magically Appeared As a Selection 🥳 In The App To Add a Device

Originally The Router Wasn’t ‘Seeing’ The Base, But Recognized Something On That Port (Power), and After The Long Reset, I Noticed Traffic On The Router LED (Firmware Update) Then The Both LED’s Went Active With The VMB5000 Going Solid Blue… 🪄✨🔵 🥂🍾

Correct - the sync button is for use when connecting cameras although usually not needed.
