Simple automation. When the doorbell camera detects motion, bring the brightness of the door sconces up from 33% to 100% over a period of 5 seconds. Some time after no more motion events have occurred, the lights will drop back down to 33%. I might make the ramp up a little faster than 5 seconds but wanted a ramp-up to avoid startling visitors while still giving them (and me) brighter light to greet them by.
