I have 3 of the original Arlo cameras (and the base station) and I just bought some Pro3 cameras and a Pro3 base station. Will this new base station be able to recognize and use those cameras (in lower priority areas)?

Yes.  https://kb.arlo.com/000062284/What-is-the-difference-between-each-Arlo-SmartHub-and-base-station

 

Though if your old base is still working well, you can use both bases.  That is one way to expand the overall coverage/range.  Also, all base stations are limited to 5 simultaneous streams (which can sometimes get in the way if you have more than 5 cameras on a base).
