OR condition with nested ANDs

Hi all, I’m having trouble with this OR condition that has nested ANDs. Overall problem: Using camera motion detection to trigger a light between 10pm and sunrise, but when the automation runs and the light turns off after 2 minutes, the camera sensor changes back to “Detected” which re-triggers the automation over and over. I read best to use a “last state change” condition:

condition:
    condition: or
    conditions: 
        condition: and
        conditions: 
        - condition: time
        after: "22:00:00"
        - condition: template
        value_template: '{{ (as_timestamp(now()) - as_timestamp(states.light.entrance_porch_light.last_changed)) > 10 }}'
        condition: and
        conditions: 
        - condition: sun
        before: sunrise
        - condition: template
        value_template: '{{ (as_timestamp(now()) - as_timestamp(states.light.entrance_porch_light.last_changed)) > 10 }}'
