Hikvision cameras in HA

Hello.

I have a Hikvision DS-7604NI-K1-4P and two cameras at home and would like to get them in to HA.

I see there are loads of posts about cameras that span years and several Hik integrations.

Am I right that the HIk integrations just pull alert statuses and cannot be used for streams?

What is the best way of getting the streams from my cameras into HA? A lot of stuff in HA blows my mind so something nice and easy would be ideal!
