I was able to get raspberry pi camera module V1.3 with raspberry pi zero2w. But it does not seem to be working with camera modules V3.
I think the motion package in motionEyeOS is pretty old 4.3.1 vs the latest release on motion is 4.7.0. 
I installed motion on raspberry OS and it seemed to be working. 
Provide guidance on steps to resolve....
I am building motioneyeos on ubuntuVM

PiCam modules newer than the PiCam 1.3 are not supported in the kernel included in any motionEyeOS (the last version was dev20201026)
motionEye 0.43.1b2 could be tried on a current RPiOS but may not work, as it accepts Python3 as the Python environment, but IIRC needs the older PiCamera tools that are no longer supported. 
My primary NVR setup is on a VM running Debian 10 / Python 2.7.16 and still chugs along, but I only have USB and IP cameras.
I have a secondary VM running Debian 12, Python 3.11 for testing motionEye 0.43.1b2 to see if/when it meets my needs. Mostly works, but...
I keep several CSI cameras and various RPis (1, 2, 3, and 4s) for testing purposes.
Current 0.43.1b2 install instructions here: https://github.com/motioneye-project/motioneye#installation
