## What it is
SysDVR is a Nintendo Switch homebrew sysmodule that captures running game output and streams it to a PC over USB or network (RTSP). It provides low-latency 720p@30fps H.264 video and 48kHz PCM audio streaming to Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android clients.

## Use cases
- stream switch gameplay to pc without a capture card
- record nintendo switch game footage over usb
- stream switch games over wifi with low latency
- capture switch gameplay on linux or mac
- watch switch gameplay on android device
- rtsp stream from a modded switch

## When to choose
- you have a hacked switch and want free game capture without buying a capture card
- you need low-latency streaming of games that support video recording
- you want cross-platform capture clients over usb or wifi

## When to avoid
- you need to capture the home menu, system UI, or applet homebrew
- you need 1080p, 60fps, or docked USB streaming
- your target game has video recording disabled and you don't want to install dvr-patches
- you need a fully reliable capture-card replacement for production recording
