Bob Baxter, of Anderson, Indiana, installed microphones within the walls of a building to listen for termites and pinpoint their location. Baxter invented other sound-related devices. On June 16, 1960, he incorporated "Sonitrol", from the words sound and control, to manufacture and market his innovations. In 1964, with the help of police officer Al Cronk, Sonitrol Security, as we know it today, became a reality.
