Upload a snapshot to Azure blob on event?

Is it possible to have Dahua camera to upload the snapshot when an event is triggered?
I'm trying to use Microsoft cognitive services to recognize dogs.

Yes but not automatically. You’ll need to have a script that does this for you. Python script to similar.

But where do I run this script? on the camera itself? or I need another computer running 24/7 to do this simple thing?

You'll need to run it on another computer or device. I used my Raspberry PI's for this.

Yup, RPi is perfect for this minor automation task.
