ACS was founded in 1971, by Electrical Engineer Donald D. Lacy and is classified as a private, veteran owned, small business. The company is located fifty miles north east of Columbus, Ohio. ACS is a veteran leader in the video and audio networking industry and manufactures video and audio switching and networking equipment.
In 1983, ACS designed, patented, and manufactured the LINK Video Network. The company markets directly to the end user and has participated extensively as a sub contractor in the government/military arena. The LINK System has become extremely popular with instructors and teachers throughout the education, commercial, government and military environments.
Each generation of LINK System is the result of feedback from computer instructors just like you. Two important requirements underlie every LINK System purchased:
As a result of this fundamental consideration, instructors using our systems continually tell us they experience a 20-35% increase in classroom efficiency. This is why a LINK System pays for itself in such a short period of time.
We sell direct. There is no middleman involved to mark up the price. You deal directly with people who understand classroom technologies, the needs of instructors, and the LINK Video System. You can request a literature packet describing the LINK System in great detail. Our knowledgeable sales staff will discuss with you which systems best meet your needs.

I love the simplicity of this software to quickly compose and send messages to users and computers across school.
Richard Pugh, St. Anselm's Catholic Primary SchoolNotify is an easy way to reach all our employees.
Monroe County GovernmentIt's useful to be able to connect into other machines and being able to set individual polices on those machines. Another great element is being able to remotely use applications such as task manager, powershell and command prompt without having to disrupt user.
Arun Abraham, Testwood SchoolSimple to Set up. Simple to Use!
Jamie Stevens, Carter Community SchoolACS has a tremendous customer service record and provides top of the line products for your classroom.
Mr. Smilonich, Snazzo ProductionsNotify has been a valuable tool for us to ensure that in the event of a "lockdown" incident, we're able to instantly communicate with users across the academy to ensure that everyone remains safe.
David Runnals, East Wickham Primary AcademyManager is a fantastic solution because it has very minimal demand of system resources and extreme flexibility.
Insuring AmericaIt is a great way to notify users of system issues and know that you have got direct visibility on their screens. We previously used e-mail to send alerts, but we were not always sure users read them in a timely manner, not to mention the extra workload on the e-mail system.
Rentenbach Inc.The LINK Systems are still going strong, and if asked, can highly recommend them. However, with our ever decreasing budgets, I doubt we'll be able to upgrade any time in the near future. The big problem with making a good product: They last too darn long!
Mr. Jung, San Mateo Adult SchoolIt shows who has read and acknowledged the alert from the central admin console and even gives us the ability to brand the pop-up notice with our own logo!
Reynolds Auto GroupThe system is extremely easy to use and train staff on the ability to send alerts. Having the option to schedule the delivery of the messages is great as well.
St. Joseph's HealthThe system works as advertised. It is perfect for our new classrooms.
Mr. Sparks, South Plains CollegeNotify offers a cost-effective solution for broadcasting messages across your organization.
Dominic Magro, South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation TrustQuick and easy use to notify our staff of problems. I have recommended the software to many colleagues.
State Governmental AgencyThe software does what it is supposed to do: notify! It is extremely easy to roll out to client computers. The interface is very easy to use.
Village of BarlettThe product does what we require and the tech support has been excellent, very knowledgeable with fast responses.
Daniel Buck, Derwen CollegeNotify is easy to use and the messages are clear. People do not miss it unless they are away from their desks.
Monroe County GovernmentSince Notify was put in place here at Martin House, I have had no issues with the software. It is simple to use, effective and fast. Have already recommended it to others.
Johnny Fantauzzo, Martin HouseYes all is well with the LINK System. It is the best teaching tool I have ever used. We have new SmartBoards in our classrooms but one of my students just yesterday said they prefer the LINK System for my demonstrations. I agree.
Mr. Baierwalter, Bluffton H.S.We have found the LINK System set ups are very beneficial to our instructors. They no longer have to constantly walk around the classroom to look over student shoulders to see how they are progressing. Instructors can interact with students having issues and blank all the screens when they want their attention. The most valuable feature is the instructor’s ability to monitor dual screen audio/video. ACS has been very receptive to our requests and designed special capabilities for us when needed.
