Two sensor setup - people walking to main door video snapshot setup?

Hi All

Holding off on the “video doorbell” no perfect solution yet so I thought this would be a nice alternative

I am trying to setup two motion sensors up the walkway in order to register people coming (Not going)
(Later I hope to setup IOS snapshot when sensor “B - Main Door” is triggered and even have a condition saying that when someone is home don’t send IOS message)

But one thing at a time…

Narrow walkway sensor A: binary_sensor.hue_outdoor_motion_sensor_1_motion
Main door sensor B: binary_sensor.hue_outdoor_motion_sensor_1_motion_2

Picture just to illustrate…

My problem is the triggers I need it to go “On” trigger A and in a timeframe of maybee 3 min? after I need trigger B to be “on” the order would keep this from triggering when someone leaves

I tried this but it doesn’t work, do I need a timer? (My initial thought was that the distance is very short so it would trigger them both in a short time?
