Minion translator lets you talk like a Minion over two-way audio to entertain family and pets at home—just speak into the Tend app and Minion Cam "translates" your message through the camera speaker into a Minion voice.
The personalized Pet Highlight Reel™ lets you see what your furry friends have been up to while you're away, giving you a window into your pet's daily activities and adventures.

Each Minion Cam comes with 24 hours of free secure cloud storage on the Tend platform, allowing users to review recorded footage from any mobile device.
