Looking at your website this seems well done.

This means an iPhone 6S or newer. Not often an unused device, I think ;-) I have a 6 that I use for tests, but otherwise I could get good money even for that one.

I have been on 6S+ for YEARS - and have no desire to upgrade due to, I believe, this is the last iPhone before facial recognition - which I DO NOT WANT.

We bought a house recently and it came with a Cobra 8-camera security system - which comes from Harbor Freight (inherited - I didnt install it) -- but its remote mobile app is some shady 3rd party app from China - and it rarely works, but I am convinced it allows for backdoor access by the dev... so I don't use it...

Is there any way to use this with the cameras I already have installed (inherited) with this app?

Your upgrade path would be the new SE, which is fingerprint and not faceID and has the A11 processor

I still use a 6S as a burner and have another for tests, they’re a great device

If your cameras are IP and not coax you can just run a NVR locally. If they are coax then another dvr would work. Blue Iris is great for home use as a windows NVR server.
