If i understand the problem correct it could be easy.
Just move the "connect" and "get_image" code down to the "netcam loop"



Code:

 static void *netcam_handler_loop(void *arg)
{

    while (not connected) and (not terminate)
     {
        connected = set up html or ftp;
    } 

   get_image()   /* an OK image */
 
....
   Rest of the   netcam_handler_loop() code.
  ...
