(FIFO) fashion. The disk status indicator on the status bar shows the amount of disk space used by recorded
video. The red indicator marks the current recording position of the disk array, blue indicators mark parts of
the array that are storing previously recorded video, and clear indicates that no video has been recorded in
that area of the array.
