This may seem like a stupid question, but what do you mean exactly that the webcam hangs? You mean the software.. right?
If it's the software that hangs (since hardware can't really hang), that means it doesn't upload a file or is it a different FTP program that does it? You could always set up something on cfschedule to check the most recent file and see if the time changed on it..
