    Azure Video Analyzer is the service you are looking for. It provides the ability to connect multiple IP cameras to the cloud platform and provides a user interface to view the live video stream to the end user.

    You can follow the instructions in the tutorial "Event-based video recording to the cloud and playback from the cloud tutorial" to learn how to use Azure Video Analyzer to record an event-based video recording to the cloud and play it back from the cloud. You can find the tutorial here.

    Follow the instructions in the tutorial "Continuous video recording and playback tutorial" to learn how to use Azure Video Analyzer to continuously record video to the cloud and play back that recording. See here for more.

    Then connect cameras directly to Azure Video Analyzer service by following the instructions in the article "Connecting cameras to the service".

    You can examine the Video Analyzer video resource that was created by the live pipeline by logging in to the Azure portal and viewing the video.

    Please let me know if you need any further assistance.
