                                  SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

                       On July 1, 1994, the Company acquired all the
             outstanding common stock of Software House, Inc. ("Software
             House").  Software House develops proprietary computer
             software and associated hardware for use in connection with
             electronic access control devices and markets integrated
             electronic access control systems based on such software and
             hardware.

                       Substantially all of the purchase price was paid in
             the form of 788,874 shares of Sensormatic Common Stock (the
             "Closing Date Shares").  The former stockholders of Software
             House (the "Selling Stockholders") intend to resell all of the
             Closing Date Shares received by them, pursuant to this
             Prospectus and the Registration Statement of which it is a
             part, during the Resale Period hereinafter referred to. 

                       The Selling Stockholders, and the number of Closing
             Date Shares being sold for their account under this
             Prospectus, respectively, include Morgenthaler Venture
             Partners III, 558,752 shares; John Moss, President of Software
             House, 119,821 shares; Jeffrey Bennett, Senior Vice President
             - Sales and Marketing of Software House, 27,390 shares; Nelle
             Miller, Senior Vice President - Operations of Software House,
             25,678 shares; and Daniel Miller, Senior Vice President -
             Engineering of Software House, 25,678 shares.  Also included
             in the Selling Stockholders are Chris Heidelberger, Brian
             King, Brian Matteson, David Prince, Michael Ball, Charles
             Hulme and John DiNapoli, management and supervisory personnel
             of Software House, who are selling approximately 31,555
             Closing Date Shares in the aggregate. 

                       The Company has guaranteed that the aggregate net
             proceeds of sale of Closing Date Shares sold by Selling
             Stockholders during the period of ten trading days following
             their issuance (subject to extension) (the "Resale Period")
             will not be less than $29.375 per share, the valuation used
             for purposes of their issuance, times the number of shares
             sold during such period, and the Company will make up any
             shortfall (including any shortfall attributable to brokers'
             commissions and selling expenses) by issuing additional Shares
             under this Prospectus or in cash.  The resale by the Selling
             Stockholders of any such additional Shares would also be
             covered by this Prospectus.

                       The Selling Stockholders have agreed to repay to
             Sensormatic, out of the proceeds of sale of the above Shares,
             the approximately $11,000,000 advanced by Sensormatic to repay
             outstanding senior and subordinated indebtedness of Software
             House in connection with the acquisition.


                      The date of this Supplement is July 1, 1994.
