I don't know of any solutions for card scanning, no -- that's specific to the mobile SDKs eg:
https://github.com/stripe/stripe-ios#card-scanning
As for Terminal, depending on the details yes that might solve your needs
You could do it from a separate app, but you could also use our server-driven integration to pair directly with your react app

I'm not entirely sure how I could use the server-driven integration to pair with our React app. What would that look like architecturally?

Then depending on whether you want to save cards with or without payment, you can follow the appropriate guide: https://stripe.com/docs/terminal/features/saving-cards/save-cards-directly?terminal-sdk-platform=server-driven
You initiate terminal actions (like collect payment method) using API commands from your back end
So user intent is expressed from your app (click a button, whatever) signaling your server, which coordinates with the terminal reader

I guess my question is, would I be able to make use of the users' phone camera as a terminal reader?
Like can I treat their camera as a terminal reader?
Do I send the backend the photo and it uses stripe to do the processing?
At the moment we aren't saving cards at all, just one time payments

No, that's no supported
You would need to tap/insert the physical card to save it via terminal readers

Oh i see..
Okay so I would basically need to implement a custom card scanning app for checkout

Using the mobile SDKs you can do that, yes
