If you're just very slightly techy, it's surprisingly easy to build an allsky camera using a Raspberry Pi and almost any astronomy camera (I use a ZWO ASI676MC). You install the software and add a weatherproof mount (I use one of these). It films the whole sky, and doesn't pan/zoom, but you can watch it live, and it automatically captures timelapses and creates star trail images every night, and is very customizable - it can even log meteors

You’d really just need a planetary camera, all sky lens, and some enclosure for it. Def recommend checking out these videos:
Also interested. I wonder if some of the weather cameras would be able to do this?
