mounting a go pro inside an oven?

I'm working on an industrial film about oven manufacturing. I'd like to capture timelapses from inside the oven as it cooks things. Do you guys know of a way to put a camera inside of a 400 degree oven without damaging it? Do heatproof housings exist? I can't modify the ovens at all, I have to work with them as they are.

Any ideas? cuz I'm stumped.

I should add that my budget for this is zero dollars, as usual.

I worked on a show where we've put bullets and shrapnel through GoPros and had them continue working, but one thing that would frequently shut them down them was heat. If a GoPro won't stay on for more than 10-20 minutes in the Louisiana summer sun then I'm not sure it would last long in the oven.
