Detection on base unit or camera?

[Codeape]

As the title. Is the motion detection handled by the camera or base unit. I read a lot of complaints about the non-pro version having a lag of 5 seconds before recording, but pro being excellent, so was hoping to get it on the cheap by using a pro base station with non-pro cameras.

Is that workable or would i need pro cameras with the non-pro base?

The motion detect is handled by the cameras ( PIR device ) (( arlo, arlo pro, arlo pro2 )

The lag is the greatest on the original Arlo, mine is about 2 secs for me... less on the newer models.

Any camera can work on any base unit.

The pro and regular arlo are cross compatible. Not sure what you mean by what handles the motion. The camera detects it and communicates with the base and stores it in the cloud of your phone
