Blink XT Camera System or Add-On Camera

I bought 3 camera Outdoor(3rd gen) for $117.65 on the Mothership on 10/13 but have not received them yet. Blink Subscription Plan included with my purchase through 12/31/20. I wonder if the Mothership will extend the trial period because the cameras have not shipped yet?

I just bought these 3 camera XT(1st gen) on Woot for $109.99.

Item XT v XT2 v Outdoor
Image 780 v 1080 v 1080
Cloud Free v Free v Pay
Local No v No v YES
Talk No v Yes v Yes
Motion Y v Y zones v Y zones
Battery 2 yr v 2 yr v 2 yr*
Live Record N v Y v Y

Outdoor battery life can be extended to 4 years by purchasing expansion pack for $TBD each.

Outdoor cameras do work on XT module.

Did I miss anything essential? Or get anything wrong?

I think I’m going to point the XT cameras with free cloud storage along the outside of our fence. So, video of anyone entering our property is stored in the cloud. And point the Outdoor cameras with local storage that can be viewed in the Blink app at areas inside our fence.

Blink says customers with accounts prior to 4/15/20 will continue to get free cloud storage if they buy Outdoor. I do not yet have a Blink account.
And Blink says customers get free cloud storage if they buy XT now.
Will I get free storage for only the XT cameras? And have to pay if I want cloud storage for the Outdoor cameras?

I wish Woot was selling the XT2!
