2 years ago There is a difference between motionEye and motionEyeOS. the 'Nov 17 instructions' were probably for motionEye on another OS, which doesn't support Fast Network Camera. If you need FNC or other motionEyeOS only features, you need Pi3B: https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneyeos/releases/download/nightly-dev/motioneyeos-raspberrypi3-dev20201026.img.xz

I installed Motioneye following the Nov 17 instructions for on a fresh Bullseye installation which proceeded without any problems. The on board Pi camera as above identified as a MMAL camera and produces a stream as expected and I am able to connect it to my Blue Iris server.
However I have 2 questions:
On an earlier installation of Motioneye there was an 'Advanced Settings' option which allowed me to set the camera as a fast network camera using RTSP - but there is no 'Advanced Settings' page now??
I have changed backed to Motioneye having experienced some stability issues when previously using uv4l-raspicam. However although I appreciate that the PI camera does have relatively poor sensitivity to low light, with uv4l-raspicam I was able to set an automatic frame rate which produced much better night time images in the available ambient night light than I am now getting with Motioneye. Is there anything I can do to the MotionEye configuration to get similarly improved low light images?
