    Free is better. script the following.

    at specified intervals
    nmap network
    compare results of scan to approved host list
    if a new host has appeared, launch version scan of that host
    move results of the scan with the timestamp to a webserver, adding a
    link to the scan and a message if new hosts appeared
    Change the meta tag to refresh regularly, like 1x per minute.
    During the day, browse to your site https://newhostfinder.mycompany.net

    You could tweak the following an infinite number of ways, use different
    tools, etc. Stay with open source though.
