                                  THE COMPANY

                 The Company is a fully-integrated supplier of electronic
security systems to retail and non-retail markets worldwide.  The Company
designs, manufactures, markets and services electronic article surveillance
("EAS") systems, including the reusable tags and disposable labels used with
such systems, microprocessor-controlled closed circuit television ("CCTV")
systems, exception monitoring systems and access control systems.  These
electronic security systems are used principally to deter shoplifting, or
internal or other theft, in a wide variety of soft and hard goods retail stores
and non-retail environments (such as industrial and commercial facilities), as
well as for other security applications.  The Company's multiple product lines,
which have been developed for specific targeted loss prevention applications,
make use of a broad base of technology which it has developed or acquired.  The
Company's product lines, together with its extensive, experienced sales and
service organization, have made the Company the recognized world leader in
supplying loss prevention products to retailers.  From inception through
September 30, 1993, the Company sold or leased worldwide approximately 206,200
EAS systems and approximately 794 million reusable tags.  The Company sold
approximately 292 million disposable labels during the first three months of
fiscal 1994 and approximately 1.1 billion, 750 million and 650 million
disposable labels in fiscal 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.  The Company
also installed more than 49,600 CCTV camera-containing domes from 1984 through
September 30, 1993.

                 The Company's initial EAS systems were designed and are
marketed for use primarily by department, specialty and other retail stores for
the protection of clothing and other soft goods merchandise.  The Company's
newer EAS product lines have been developed and targeted for specific hard
goods retail applications (including applications in supermarkets





                                      -3-
<PAGE>   5
and hypermarkets and drug, discount, eyeglass, music, hardware,
"do-it-yourself" home improvement, book and video stores) and the Company has
become the leading supplier of EAS products to hard goods retailers.  Hard
goods retailers are estimated to be a substantially larger user group than soft
goods retailers and have only begun to use EAS products during the last few
years.  These EAS hard goods retailers primarily use disposable labels which
are affixed to merchandise.  Use of the hard goods EAS systems creates a
continuing need on the part of retailers for additional disposable labels to be
affixed to new merchandise, resulting in a major source of recurring revenues
for the Company.

                 The Company has developed a broad range of CCTV products for
use in retail and commercial and industrial applications.  CCTV products are
used to control inventory shrinkage and other losses due to internal or
employee theft in retail businesses, and are also used for the protection and
monitoring of personnel and assets in large-scale office and manufacturing
complexes, warehouses, casinos and numerous other non-retail facilities.
Additionally, the CamEra division in the United Kingdom (acquired in connection
with the acquisition of ALPS in July 1992, discussed below) markets packaged,
lower cost CCTV systems primarily for smaller retail and commercial businesses.
The Company is beginning to market CamEra systems elsewhere in Europe and in
the U.S.

                 The Company's point-of-sale exception monitoring systems
consist of proprietary software interfaces linking retail cash registers with
CCTV systems, which are programmed to record predetermined types of
transactions.

                 The Company has recently directed substantial new product
development and marketing efforts to commercial, industrial and other
non-retail customers.  The Company's Commercial/Industrial Group markets
electronic article protection ("EAP") systems, SensorVision(R) and other CCTV
systems and access control systems for the protection, monitoring and control
of personnel and assets in large-scale office and manufacturing complexes,
warehouses, hospitals and nursing homes, nurseries, transportation centers,
colleges and universities, casinos, nuclear power plants and numerous other
non-retail facilities.  Assets which are protected or controlled by the
Company's EAP products include limited access files, computer magnetic tapes
and disks, portable computer systems, facsimile and copy machines and other
office equipment, hospital equipment, garments and supplies, and many other
valuable items.  Non-retail businesses are increasingly receptive to systems
integrating combinations of these various products, furnished and serviced by a
single supplier.

                 To maximize the advantages of its new technologies and
improved and expanded product lines, and to realize their market potential, the
Company has also greatly expanded its sales and marketing efforts in North
America, western Europe, and certain Asia/Pacific countries in recent years.
To this end, the Company has been increasing the total number of sales and
customer engineering personnel, establishing specialized sales groups to reach
targeted potential retail customer groups, and developing a separate group, the
Commercial/Industrial Group, to market products to commercial, industrial and
other non-retail customer groups.  In addition, the Company has been
strengthening its global presence through the expansion of direct sales
operations in other strategic geographic areas around the world.  During the
past six years, the Company acquired the remaining 51% interest in its United
Kingdom distributor (whose territory included Australia, New Zealand and Hong
Kong); established headquarters for its Asia/ Pacific operations in Singapore;
acquired the EAS and CCTV retail distribution rights and businesses of its
Canadian distributor; acquired certain businesses and related assets of its
distributors operating in Scandinavia (primarily in Denmark,





                                      -4-
<PAGE>   6
Finland, Norway and Sweden), Mexico and Puerto Rico (including the Caribbean
Basin); established a joint venture company to manufacture and market certain
loss prevention products in Brazil; and established sales representation in
Hungary and expanded its sales representation into eastern Germany.
Additionally, during the same six-year period, the Company acquired ALPS
(discussed further below); Security Tag Systems, Inc. ("Security Tag"), a U.S.
based manufacturer and marketer of loss prevention products; American Dynamics,
a leading U.S. manufacturer of CCTV components and systems; Continental
Instruments Corporation, a supplier of electronic access control systems; Point
of Sale Data Products, Inc. ("POSdata"), a value-added reseller of laser
bar-code scanners; and, in September 1993, the business and related assets of
Robot Research Inc., a U.S. based manufacturer and marketer of sophisticated
CCTV display and transmission systems.  The Company continually evaluates
stategic acquisition opportunities and anticipates making further acquisitions.
                 In July 1992, the Company acquired from Automated Security
(Holdings) PLC ("ASH"; together with its subsidiaries, the "ASH Group") the ASH
Group's European EAS, CCTV and exception monitoring loss prevention systems
division ("ALPS"; also sometimes referred to as "ALP" in this Prospectus or in
documents incorporated by reference herein).  With the acquisition of ALPS,
previously a large European distributor of EAS and CCTV products, the Company
is able to offer an expanded base of European customers a full range of EAS
technologies well suited to virtually any retail application, together with a
broad range of CCTV, exception monitoring and access control products, backed
by the combined sales and service organization of Sensormatic and ALPS.
Additionally, the Company, already the leader in the U.S. and the world, became
the largest supplier of loss prevention products to retailers in the European
market.

                 In connection with the acquisition of ALPS, the Company
acquired the ASH Group's interest of approximately 30% in Security Tag.  Prior
to June 1993, the Company distributed Security Tag's products outside North and
South America under an exclusive distribution agreement between the Company and
Security Tag.  In June 1993, the Company acquired the remaining interest in
Security Tag (approximately 70%).

                 Another of the Company's strategic objectives is to work
closely with manufacturers and retailers to develop and implement source
labeling and source tagging programs.  Source labeling and source tagging are
processes whereby the label or tag is affixed to the merchandise to be
protected at the point of manufacture rather than at the retail store.  Several
large U.S.  retailers have signed agreements with the Company to purchase the
Company's Ultra-Max(R) equipment in connection with the implementation by such
retailers of source labeling programs with their respective manufacturers, and
a number of other U.S.  retailers are exploring similar programs with the
Company.

                 In March 1993, the National Association of Recording
Merchandisers ("NARM") recommended the Company's acousto- magnetic UltraoMax
product line as the industry standard for use in source labeling of
pre-recorded music in the U.S.  The Company has committed to NARM that it would
license its acousto-magnetic technology in the U.S. to other companies
supplying the music industry.  In November 1993, the six major music
manufacturers objected to implementing EAS source labeling of pre-recorded
music using the Company's acousto-magnetic technology as recommended by NARM,
principally on the grounds of test results obtained by the manufacturers
purporting to show degradation of the sound quality of certain audio cassette
tapes from the magnetic deactivation devices used.  Compact discs, which are
the most subject to shrinkage of the pre-recorded music formats





                                      -5-
<PAGE>   7
carried by music retailers, have not been subject to any controversy over
alleged degradation in sound quality.  The manufacturers also expressed
concerns relating to possible problems with label placement and automated
manufacturing processes.  NARM is currently in the process of evaluating the
test reports furnished by the manufacturers in support of their position.
While there can be no assurance as to the outcome of the NARM program, music
retailers are continuing to expand their use of the Company's acousto- magnetic
Ultra-Max products.  Sales to U.S. music retailers account for approximately 3%
of the Company's total consolidated revenues.
                 The Company is a Delaware corporation organized in 1968 to
succeed its predecessor, an Ohio corporation founded in 1966.  The Company's
principal executive offices are located at 500 N.W. 12th Avenue, Deerfield
Beach, Florida 33442 and its telephone number is (305) 420-2000.  Unless the
context otherwise requires, the term "the Company" refers to the Company and
its subsidiaries.

                        CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

INTRODUCTORY NOTES

                 The two tables presented below set forth certain condensed
historical financial information and unaudited condensed pro forma combined
financial information for Sensormatic after giving effect to the acquisition of
ALPS, using the purchase method as if such acquisition had been consummated,
with respect to the statements of income, on July 1, 1992.  (Sensormatic's
historical balance sheet at September 30, 1993, incorporated herein by
reference, reflects the acquisition of ALPS as it occurred on July 29, 1992.
See "Sensormatic Selected Historical Financial Information".)  Additionally,
the unaudited condensed pro forma combined financial information gives effect
to the merger with Security Tag, using the purchase method, as if such merger
were consummated, with respect to the summary of operations data, as of July 1,
1992.  (Sensormatic's historical balance sheet at September 30, 1993,
incorporated herein by reference, also reflects the merger with Security Tag as
it occurred on June 17, 1993.  See "Sensormatic Selected Historical Financial
Information".)  The condensed historical financial information of Sensormatic
set forth in the first table with respect to the three months ended September
30, 1993 is not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full
year.  The information contained in the second table does not purport to be
indicative of the results of operations of Sensormatic which may have been
obtained had the acquisition of ALPS and the merger with Security Tag been
consummated on the dates assumed.

         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF CONDENSED PRO FORMA COMBINED 
         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                 HISTORICAL COMBINED FINANCIAL CONDITION AT SEPTEMBER 30, 1993.
         Following the acquisition of ALPS and after giving effect to the 
         merger with Security Tag, the financial condition of the Company 
         remained strong.  As of September 30, 1993, cash and marketable 
         securities were approximately $102.3 million and the debt-to-equity 
         ratio of the Company was .63 to 1.0.

                                      -8-
<PAGE>   10
                 HISTORICAL THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1993 COMPARED TO
PRO FORMA THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1992.  Historical combined revenues
of $143.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 1993 increased $10.9
million or 8.3% over the pro forma combined revenues for the three months ended
September 30, 1992, after giving effect to the acquisition of ALPS and the
merger with Security Tag.  The revenue growth resulted from an increase in
worldwide Sensormatic and ALPS revenues, primarily from higher retail EAS and
CCTV revenues and higher revenues from Sensormatic's Commercial/Industrial
Group, which markets EAS, CCTV and access control systems to non-retail
customers; offset in part by the effect on the local currency revenues of
Sensormatic's international subsidiaries and ALPS when translated into U.S.
dollars for financial statement purposes caused by the stronger average U.S.
dollar (in relation to the local currencies of Sensormatic's international
subsidiaries and ALPS, in the aggregate) throughout the quarter ended September
30, 1993, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1992.

                 The 68% increase in historical combined operating income for
the three months ended September 30, 1993, compared to pro forma combined
operating income for the three months ended September 30, 1992, occurred
principally due to an increase in revenues and an improvement in combined gross
profit on revenues from 53% to 55%, primarily attributable to Sensormatic and
ALPS.  Combined operating expenses as a percentage of revenues increased from
43% to 46%.

                 Combined historical other income decreased $3.2 million in the
first three months of fiscal 1994 compared to the pro forma combined other
income for the first three months of fiscal 1993, principally due to the
decrease in interest income earned by Sensormatic and ALPS on trade receivables
under deferred terms and installment contract obligations and on net investment
in sales-type leases, and increased interest expense due to higher borrowings.
The effective tax rate on combined pretax income from continuing operations for
the first three months of fiscal 1994 remained flat at 25% when compared to the
three months ended September 30, 1992.

                 Historical combined income from continuing operations (and
related fully diluted earnings per share) for the first three months of fiscal
1994 increased $4.3 million (and $0.05), versus pro forma combined income from
continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 1992, and
outpaced revenue growth based primarily on the factors previously discussed.

                                USE OF PROCEEDS

                 The Company will receive no part of the proceeds from the sale
of the Shares offered pursuant to this Prospectus.  The Company has agreed that
if the aggregate proceeds from the sale of Shares sold during a period of three
trading days following the date hereof are less than a specified amount based
on their valuation upon issuance, the Company will issue additional Shares for
resale under this Prospectus or make a cash payment sufficient to reimburse the
Selling Stockholders for the difference.  See "The Selling Stockholders".

                            THE SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

                 The Selling Stockholders are Patricia McWethy, Steven McWethy
and Steven Fisher, who have been, respectively, the President, Vice President
and Vice President of Regional Operations of AES and are expected to serve,
respectively, as Regional Administrator, Regional Manager and Regional Sales
Manager of the Company.  Mr. and Mrs. McWethy were also directors of AES prior
to the AES stock purchase (see "Acquisition of AES" below under this main
heading).  At the closing of the stock purchase, Mrs. McWethy was issued 42,288
Shares, Mr. McWethy was issued 29,059 Shares and Mr. Fisher was issued 3,804
Shares (collectively, the "Closing Date Shares"), using a valuation of $34.375
per share (the "Closing Valuation Per Share") based on the average of the NYSE
closing prices of the Common Stock for the five trading days ending January 13,
1994.  As discussed in greater detail below, additional Shares may be issued to
the Selling Stockholders in the event that the aggregate net proceeds of sale
of Closing Date Shares which are sold by them during the period beginning on
the date of this Prospectus and ending three NYSE trading days thereafter are
less than the Closing Valuation Per Share (together with accrued interest 
thereon) times the number of Closing Date Shares sold during such period.  Any 
such additional Shares would also be included in the Shares offered pursuant to
this Prospectus in order to permit their resale by the Selling Stockholders.


ACQUISITION OF AES

                 Effective January 17, 1994, the Company consummated the
acquisition of all of the Stock of AES for $2,600,000 in the aggregate.  The
Company paid an additional $1,000,000 to the Selling Stockholders in
consideration of certain agreements regarding non-competition and the
assignment to the Company of certain know-how and proprietary information, and
the Selling Stockholders have also entered into employment agreements with AES.
AES is in the business of reselling and installing access- control systems to
commercial and industrial customers.

                 The purchase price payable to the Selling Stockholders was
paid in the form of Sensormatic Common Stock issued to them at closing, at a
valuation equal to the Closing Valuation Per Share.  The Company has also
agreed that in the event that the aggregate net proceeds from sales of Closing
Date Shares during the period beginning on the date of this Prospectus and
ending three NYSE trading days thereafter are less than (i) the Closing
Valuation Per Share, together with interest accrued thereon at the rate of 10%
per annum from January 17, 1994 to the date of this Prospectus, multiplied by
(ii) the number of Shares sold, the Company will issue additional Shares for
resale under this Prospectus or make a cash payment sufficient to reimburse the
Selling Stockholders for the difference.  The number of any





                                      -10-
<PAGE>   12
additional Shares issued by the Company to the Selling Stockholders will be
based on the closing price of the Company's Common Stock on the NYSE on the
trading day preceding the date of issuance of such additional Shares (or a day
not more than two trading days prior thereto).  The Company has further agreed
to reimburse the Selling Stockholders, in cash, for any additional shortfall in
the event that the aggregate net proceeds from sales of such additional Shares
during a period of two trading days following their issuance are less than the
amount per share at which they were valued upon issuance multiplied by the
number of Shares sold during such period.


                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

                 The Selling Stockholders expect to sell the Shares primarily
through brokers' transactions over the NYSE at prices then attainable, less
ordinary brokers' commissions and dealers' discounts, as applicable.  As of the
date of this Prospectus, the Selling Stockholders have no agreement,
arrangement or understanding with any Broker (as such term is defined below) as
to the sale of the Shares.

                 The Selling Stockholders and any broker or dealer to or
through whom any of the Shares are sold ("Brokers") may be deemed to be
underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act"), with respect to the Shares offered hereby, and any profits realized by
the Selling Stockholders or the Brokers may be deemed to be underwriting
commissions.  Brokers' commissions and dealers' discounts, taxes and other
selling expenses with respect to the Shares are not expected to exceed normal
selling expenses for sales over the NYSE or otherwise, as the case may be.  In
the event that the Company is required to issue additional Sensormatic Common
Stock or make cash payments to reimburse the Selling Stockholders for any
shortfall in net proceeds (see "The Selling Stockholders -- Acquisition of
AES"), the Company may be deemed to have borne some or all of such selling
expenses.  The Company and the Selling Stockholders have agreed to indemnify
each other against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act.

                 The registration of the Shares under the Act shall not be
deemed an admission by the Selling Stockholders or the Company that the Selling
Stockholders are underwriters for purposes of the Act of any Shares offered
under this Prospectus.

                            OF SENSORMATIC AND ALPS

INTRODUCTORY NOTE

                 The following tables set forth certain unaudited condensed pro
forma combined financial information for Sensormatic after giving effect to the
acquisition of ALPS, using the purchase method as if such acquisition had been
consummated, with respect to the statements of income, on July 1, 1992.
(Sensormatic's historical balance sheet at September 30, 1993, incorporated
herein by reference, reflects the acquisition of ALPS as it occurred on July
29, 1992, and, therefore, a pro forma balance sheet has not been presented.
See "Sensormatic Selected Historical Financial Information" in this
Prospectus.)  The information contained in the following tables does not
purport to be indicative of the results of operations of Sensormatic which may
have been obtained had the acquisition been consummated on the date assumed.

                 ALPS's financial information contained in these pro forma
financial statements has been derived from the financial statements of ALPS
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United Kingdom ("U.K. GAAP") and stated in pounds sterling.  Such financial
information has been adjusted to comply with applicable accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP").  Significant differences
between U.K. GAAP and U.S. GAAP are discussed in the historical financial
statements and the notes thereto of ALPS incorporated herein by reference.

                 This information should be read in conjunction with the
historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of
Sensormatic contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1993 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
September 30, 1993, each of which is incorporated herein by reference, and the
historical financial statements and accompanying notes of ALPS contained
elsewhere herein and in Sensormatic's Prospectus, dated July 22, 1992 (File
Number 33-47824), incorporated herein by reference.  See "Incorporation of

                NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED PRO FORMA COMBINED
                 FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF SENSORMATIC AND ALPS

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

             The statement of income of ALPS has been translated using the
average exchange rate in effect during the relevant period.  This rate,
expressed in dollars per L.1.00, was $1.92 for the period from July 1, 1992 to
July 29, 1992.


2.  PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

             The following pro forma adjustments have been made:





                                      -14-
<PAGE>   16
             (a)     Adjustment to reclassify interest income earned by ALPS on
internally financed sales-type leases to conform to Sensormatic's financial
statement presentation.  This adjustment was approximately $914,000 for the
period from July 1, 1992 to July 29, 1992.

             (b)     Adjustment to record the amortization of the costs in
excess of net assets acquired (approximately $198.0 million) related to the
ALPS acquisition over 40 years.  This adjustment was approximately $312,000 for
the period from July 1, 1992 to July 29, 1992, net of the elimination of ALPS
historical amortization of costs in excess of net assets acquired of
approximately $101,000.

             (c)     Adjustment to reverse the interest expense related to the
debt of ALPS assumed by ASH prior to the acquisition of ALPS.  This adjustment
was approximately $374,000 for the period from July 1, 1992 to July 29, 1992.

             (d)     Adjustment to record interest expense related to the $96.1
million of bank debt, at 4.125% per annum, incurred to partially fund the
acquisition of ALPS.  This adjustment was approximately $330,000 for the period
from July 1, 1992 to July 29, 1992.

             (e)     Adjustment to record an estimate of the cost savings
associated with the implementation by Sensormatic of a formal plan to eliminate
duplicative administrative functions and other overhead costs arising from the
acquisition of ALPS.  This adjustment was approximately $367,000 for the year
ended June 30, 1993.

             (f)     Adjustment to record the income tax effect of the pro
forma adjustments, as applicable.

PRELIMINARY SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

        The Company recently stated that it expects net income for the three
months ended December 31, 1993 to be approximately $18.5 million, or $.29 per
share, and total revenues for the quarter to be approximately $160 million, in 
comparison with net income of $13.6 million, or $.23 per share, and total
revenues of $122 million for the three months ended December 31, 1992.  For the
six months ended December 31, 1993, it is expected that net income will be
approximately $33.5 million, or $.53 per share, and that total revenues will be
approximately $303 million, compared with net income of $24.5 million, or $.44
per share, and total revenues of $241.8 million for the comparable prior
period.

                 ALPS SELECTED HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION


        The selected historical financial information presented below for and
as of the end of each of the three years in the period ended November 30, 1991
is derived from the Combined Financial Statements of ALPS, which financial
statements have been audited by BDO Binder Hamlyn (internationally BDO Binder),
Chartered Accountants.  The Combined Financial Statements as of November 30,
1990 and 1991, and for each of the three years in the period ended November 30,
1991, and the report of BDO Binder Hamlyn, Chartered Accountants thereon, are
included in Sensormatic's Prospectus dated July 22, 1992 (File number
33-47824), incorporated herein by reference.  The selected historical financial
information presented below as of May 31, 1992 and for the periods in the six
months ended May 31, 1991 and 1992 is derived from the unaudited condensed
historical Combined Financial Statements of ALPS included elsewhere in this
Prospectus which in the opinion of ALPS's management includes all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly
the information set forth therein.  This selected historical financial
information should be read in conjunction with the combined financial
statements, related notes and other financial information included elsewhere in
this Prospectus and incorporated herein by reference.  The results of
operations for the six months ended May 31, 1992 are not necessarily indicative
of results that can be expected for the full year.

        ALPS's historical Combined Financial Statements are prepared in
accordance with U.K. GAAP, which differs in certain significant respects from
U.S. GAAP.  In making commercial decisions on various transactions, including
acquisitions and dispositions, ALPS's management considered the presentation of
these transactions in its historical Combined Financial Statements under U.K.
GAAP.  If ALPS had reported its financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP,
management may have made different commercial decisions on such transactions or
may have structured such transactions differently.  A summary of the
significant differences between U.K. GAAP and U.S. GAAP relevant to ALPS,
together with reconciliations of net income (loss) and shareholders' equity,
are set forth in Note 20 of the ALPS Notes to Combined Financial Statements
incorporated herein by reference.

Item 15.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

   Article TENTH of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and 
Article IX of the Company's By-Laws provide for indemnification of officers 
and directors of the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable 
law, for expenses, liabilities and losses actually and reasonably incurred by 
them in connection with actual or threatened claims, actions, suits or 
proceedings by reason of the fact that such persons are or were officers or 
directors of the Company.  Such indemnification right includes the right to 
receive payment in advance of expenses incurred by the persons seeking 
indemnification in connection with claims, actions, suits or proceedings, to 
an extent consistent with applicable law.  The By-Laws provide that the right 
to indemnification is a contract right and authorize the Company to obtain 
insurance to effect indemnification.  Section 145 of the General Corporation 
Law of the State of Delaware grants each corporation organized thereunder, 
such as the Company, express powers to indemnify its directors and officers.

   The Company carries directors' and officers' liability insurance covering 
losses up to $20,000,000 (subject to certain deductible amounts).

Item 17. Undertakings.

   (1)  The Company hereby undertakes:

     (a)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
   post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any
   material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
   disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such
   information in the registration statement.

     (b)  That for the purposes of determining any liability under the
   Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
   to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
   therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
   be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (c)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment,
   any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
   termination of the offering.

   (2)  The Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration
statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

   (3)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Company pursuant to the





        
                                      II-2
<PAGE>   29
provisions described under Item 15, or otherwise, the Company has been advised
that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in
the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.

                            STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT


     STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of December 31, 1993, among SENSORMATIC
ELECTRONICS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("Sensormatic"); ADVANCED ENTRY
SYSTEMS, INC., a Texas corporation ("AES"); STEVEN McWETHY and PATRICIA
McWETHY, individuals residing in the state of Texas (the "Principal
Stockholders"); and the additional stockholders of AES listed on Schedule I
hereto (together with the Principal Stockholders, the "Selling Stockholders").


                              W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, AES is engaged principally in the business (the "Business") of
purchasing, combining, assembling and reselling and installing electronic
access control, closed-circuit television ("CCTV") and other equipment,
components and parts for access- control and other security purposes; and

     WHEREAS, the Selling Stockholders wish to sell to Sensormatic, and
Sensormatic wishes to purchase, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock
of AES (the "Stock"), on the terms and conditions set forth herein;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties
and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
hereby agree as follows:

     1.  PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE STOCK.

     1.1 PURCHASE AND SALE.

     (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing
Date (as such term is defined in Section 1.3), Sensormatic shall purchase, and
each Selling Stockholder shall sell, convey, assign, transfer and deliver to
Sensormatic, that number of shares of Stock set forth opposite such Selling
Shareholder's name in Schedule I hereto.  The Stock shall be transferred to
Sensormatic free and clear of all claims, liens, security interests, charges,
encumbrances, equities, adverse interests and restrictions of any kind
(collectively, "Liens").

     (b) At the Closing (as such term is defined in Section 1.3), each of the
Selling Stockholders shall deliver to Sensormatic one or more certificates
evidencing the number of shares of Stock to be sold to Sensormatic by such
Selling





        
<PAGE>   6
Stockholder, in each case duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by duly
executed stock powers in blank, with signatures guaranteed by a bank or trust
company as requested by Sensormatic, together with all necessary documentary or
stock transfer stamps affixed to such certificates.

     1.2 CONSIDERATION FOR PURCHASE.  The consideration payable in the
aggregate for all the Stock (the "Aggregate Purchase Price") shall be
$2,600,000.  Each Selling Stockholder shall be entitled to receive that
percentage (his or her "Stockholder Percentage") of the Aggregate Purchase
Price set forth opposite his or her name on Schedule I hereto, which percentage
has been calculated on the basis of the respective number of shares of Stock
held by the Selling Stockholders, also as set forth on Schedule I.

     1.3 CLOSING.  Subject to Section 9.1, the closing of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement (the "Closing") shall take place at 10:00 a.m.
on January 17, 1994, or such later date agreed upon by the parties as is within
three business days after all of the conditions precedent set forth in Sections
5 and 6 to be satisfied prior to the Closing have been satisfied or waived (the
"Closing Date"), at the offices of Spafford, Gay, Ferro & Ivy, or such other
date, time and place is agreed to by the parties.  At the Closing, the Selling
Stockholders shall deliver to Sensormatic the endorsed certificates for the
Stock as contemplated by Section 1.1(b), and Sensormatic shall deliver to the
Selling Stockholders, in the aggregate, the Aggregate Purchase Price.  The
Aggregate Purchase Price shall be apportioned among the Selling Stockholders on
the basis of their respective Stockholder Percentages and shall be payable by
wire transfer or in shares of Sensormatic Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.4,
as applicable.  At the Closing, the applicable Selling Stockholders shall also
execute and deliver to Sensormatic and AES the applicable Non- Competition and
Assignment Agreements (as such term is defined in Section 5.7) and the Selling
Stockholders and AES shall deliver the additional certificates, documents and
instruments contemplated to be delivered by them pursuant to Section 5; and
Sensormatic shall also execute and deliver the Non-Competition and Assignment
Agreements and deliver the consideration contemplated thereby, i.e., $475,000
to each of the Principal Stockholders and $50,000 to Stephen Fisher, and shall
execute and deliver the additional certificates, documents and instruments
contemplated to be delivered by Sensormatic pursuant to Section 6.

     1.4 OPTIONAL PAYMENT IN SENSORMATIC STOCK.

     (a) Those portions of the Aggregate Purchase Price payable to the
Principal Stockholders and Stephen Fisher shall





        
                                      -2-
<PAGE>   7
be paid in the form of Sensormatic Common Stock, par value $.01 per share
("Sensormatic Common Stock), subject to the terms and conditions of this
Section 1.4.  The other Selling Stockholders shall receive an amount equal to
the Aggregate Purchase Price times their respective Stockholder Percentages, as
set forth on Schedule I, by wire transfer or check representing good funds.

     (b) The number of shares of Sensormatic Common Stock payable to each
Selling Stockholder receiving stock pursuant to this Section 1.4 shall be
determined by dividing (a) that portion of the Aggregate Purchase Price payable
to such Selling Stockholder (i.e., the Aggregate Purchase Price multiplied by
such Selling Stockholder's Stockholder Percentage, as set forth on Schedule I)
by (b) the average of the closing prices (last sale) of Sensormatic Common
Stock on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. ("NYSE") for the five trading days
immediately prior to the Closing Date (or, at Sensormatic's option, a five-day
period ending up to two days earlier).  Such closing price as of a given day is
sometimes referred to generically herein as the "Average Closing Price", and
such price for purposes of determining the number of shares deliverable at
closing is sometimes referred to herein as the "Closing Date Price".
Fractional shares, if any, shall be settled in cash.

     (c) Sensormatic shall file a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the
"Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission in order
to register under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") the resale
by the applicable Selling Stockholders of the shares of Sensormatic Common
Stock delivered to them at Closing pursuant to this Section 1.4 (the "Closing
Date Shares") and any additional shares issued pursuant to this Section 1.4,
and shall use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become
effective promptly after the Closing Date.  When such Registration Statement
becomes effective, Sensormatic shall promptly (and in any event within two
business days thereafter) so notify the Selling Stockholder Representative (as
defined in Section 9.3).  With respect to all sales of Closing Date Shares
during the period beginning on the date the Registration Statement becomes
effective (or the date of such notice of effectiveness from Sensormatic, or the
Closing Date, whichever is latest) and ending at the close of the third NYSE
trading day following such date (the "Resale Period"),  Sensormatic shall
reimburse each applicable Selling Stockholder, in cash or Sensormatic Common
Stock (or a combination thereof) at Sensormatic's option, for the amount, if
any, by which (i) the product of the Closing Date Price times the number of
Closing Date Shares sold by such Selling Stockholder during the Resale Period,
together with interest





        
                                      -3-
<PAGE>   8
thereon at the Interest Rate (as defined in Section 1.4(e)) from the Closing
Date to the first day of the Resale Period, exceeds (ii) the "Net Proceeds" of
sale of such Closing Date Shares sold -- i.e., the cash proceeds of all sales
of Closing Date Shares by each of the Selling Stockholders during the Resale
Period less broker commissions of not more than $.06 per share.  Sensormatic
shall make such reimbursement within three business days following the delivery
by the applicable Selling Stockholders of a schedule showing the calculation on
a trade-by-trade basis of such cash proceeds and Net Proceeds from sales of
Closing Date Shares during the Resale Period.  The Selling Stockholders agree
that all sales during the Resale Period and the period referred to in Section
1.4(d) of Sensormatic Common Stock issued to them pursuant to this Agreement
shall be made in a orderly fashion and in a manner reasonably acceptable to
Sensormatic.

     The effect of the foregoing is to guarantee that the Selling Stockholders
collectively receive not less than $2,600,000, together with interest thereon
from the Closing date to the first day of the Resale Period, from the sale of
all the Closing Date Shares, provided they sell all such shares during the
Resale Period (it being understood that they have no obligation to do so, but
that Sensormatic's obligation to guarantee any shortfall shall apply pro rata
only to those Closing Date Shares sold during the Resale Period).  In the event
that such net proceeds of sale are less than the guaranteed amount, Sensormatic
is obligated to make up any shortfall, including any broker commissions (of up
to $.06 per share) responsible for all or a portion of such shortfall.  Should
such net proceeds of sale equal or exceed the guaranteed amount, however, the
Selling Stockholders would be entitled to retain any such excess, but
Sensormatic would not be responsible for any broker commissions.

     (d) In the event that Sensormatic elects to deliver additional Sensormatic
Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.4(c), (i) the number of such shares
delivered shall be equal to the amount payable pursuant to such Section 1.4(c)
divided by the NYSE Closing Price as of the trading date immediately prior to
the date of delivery of such shares (or within two trading days prior thereto,
as determined by Sensormatic), and (ii) with respect to any shares so delivered
(or a like number of Closing Date Shares) which are sold by the Selling
Stockholders receiving them before the end of the second NYSE trading day
following the date of delivery of such shares to them or their broker,
Sensormatic shall further promptly reimburse the applicable Selling
Stockholders, in cash, for the amount, if any, by which the aggregate valuation
of such shares as determined pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 1.4(d)
exceeds the Net Proceeds of sale of such shares.






                                     -4-

     (e) In the event that the Registration Statement does not become effective
until after the Closing Date, for the period following the Closing Date through
the first day of the Resale Period, interest shall accrue on the Aggregate
Purchase Price, for purposes of Sections 1.4(c) and 1.4(f), at a fixed rate per
annum equal to 4% above the prime rate identified as such in the Wall Street
Journal for the Closing (the "Interest Rate").  If less than all the Closing
Date Shares are sold during the Resale Period, Sensormatic shall not be
required to pay or accrue interest on the amount (based on the Closing Date
Price) attributable to the unsold Closing Date Shares.

     (f) In the event the Registration Statement has not become effective as of
the earlier of (i) the 90th day following the Closing Date, or (ii) April 15,
1994 (or such later date as may be agreed to in writing by the parties),
Sensormatic shall deliver to the Selling Stockholders who received Closing Date
Shares pursuant to this Section 1.4, in exchange for all of their Closing Date
Shares, good funds in an amount equal to the amount that would have been
payable to them at the Closing, together with accrued interest at the Interest
Rate from the Closing Date to the date of delivery of such amount.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Selling Stockholder may by written
notice to Sensormatic given within three business days prior to the date set
forth above elect to retain some or all of his or her Closing Date Shares, in
which event the principal amount delivered pursuant to this Section 1.4(f) and
interest thereon shall be reduced in proportion to the number of shares so
retained.

     (g) In the event that Sensormatic defaults in its obligations under this
Section 1.4, such that it neither (i) registers the Closing Date Shares as
contemplated by Section 1.4(c), nor (ii) delivers cash in exchange therefor as
contemplated by Section 1.4(f) (subject to any election by a Selling
Stockholder thereunder to retain his or her shares) on or before April 15, 1994
(or such later date as may be agreed to in writing by the Selling Stockholder
Representative and Sensormatic), the Selling Stockholders may on any business
day following such date that such default remains uncured, rescind the sale of
the stock by delivering written notice of such rescission from the Selling
Shareholder Representative to Sensormatic.  In order for such notice to be
effective, the Selling Stockholders must simultaneously or promptly thereafter
redeliver the Closing Date Shares to Sensormatic, in exchange for the Stock, in
each case accompanied by appropriate instruments of assignment.  Upon such
exchange, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be without

mortgage, indenture, lease, instrument, permit or license to which AES or any
of the Selling Stockholders are a party or by which any of such persons or any
of AES's assets is bound (including without limitation any of the contracts
referred to in Section 2.6(d) or Section 2.14, except that with respect to the

By-laws and other organizational or governing instruments of AES, in each case
as amended to the date hereof, have been furnished to Sensormatic by AES.

     (b) AES has made available to Sensormatic correct and complete copies of

performance by AES or the Selling Stockholders of this Agreement and the
Ancillary Agreements.

     2.6 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

     (a) AES has furnished to Sensormatic (i) audited financial statements for
and as of the end of each of the two fiscal years ended March 31, 1993,
reported upon by Grace & Bryan Company, P.C., and (ii) unaudited interim
financial statements as of and for the six months ended September 30, 1993
(collectively, the "Financial Statements").  The Financial Statements were
prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP") applied on a





        
                                      -8-
<PAGE>   13
consistent basis, are reconcilable to the books and records of AES and present
fairly the financial position of AES as at the dates thereof and the results of
its operations, cash flows and changes in financial position for the periods
then ended, except, in the case of such unaudited interim financial statements,
for the omission of footnote information and for year end audit adjustments
neither of which are, singly or in the aggregate, material.

     (b) As of September 30, 1993, AES had no material liabilities of any
nature, whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise, and whether due or
to become due ("Liabilities"), which were not specifically disclosed or
provided for in the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of AES as of September
30, 1993, included in Financial Statements (the "Interim Balance Sheet") or the
notes to the Financial Statements as of and for the period ended March 31, 1993
(the "Financial Statement Notes").  Since September 30, 1993, AES has not
incurred any Liabilities outside of the ordinary course of business, or any
Liabilities which, individually or in the aggregate, are likely to have a
material adverse effect on the business, prospects, financial condition or
results of operations of AES (a "Material Adverse Effect").  All such
Liabilities incurred since September 30, 1993 are fully reflected or reserved
on the books and records of AES.

     (c) AES has furnished to Sensormatic true and correct schedules of its
aged accounts receivable and accounts payable as of September 30, 1993, and
will provide updated schedules thereof as reasonably requested by Sensormatic
prior to the Closing.  All of the accounts receivable and notes receivable
reflected on the Interim Balance Sheet and the books of AES are actual are bona
fide receivables representing obligations for the amounts thereof shown on the
Interim Balance Sheet or such books, which resulted or shall have resulted from
the regular course of AES's business and are fully collectible by AES, except
to the extent reserved for on the Interim Balance Sheet or, in the case of such
accounts and notes receivable arising after September 30, 1993, on the books of
AES consistent with prior practice.

     (d) The Selling Stockholders have delivered to Sensormatic Schedules of
Closed Contracts and Contracts in Progress as of September 30, 1993, in form
similar to those included in the Financial Statements, and will furnish similar
updated schedules as they become available prior to the Closing.  All such
schedules are true, correct and complete in all material respect as of their
respective dates, the contracts listed thereon (the "Installation Contracts")
remain in force and, to the knowledge of the Selling Stockholders, there have
occurred no defaults or other events which would





        
                                     -9-
<PAGE>   14
cause the information set forth on such Schedules to be incorrect in any
material respect.

     (e) Set forth in Item 2.6(e) of the Disclosure Schedule is a true and
complete list of all outstanding bids or proposals of AES with respect to its
products or services, which remained undelivered or uninstalled or unperformed,
in whole or in part, as of the latest practicable date.  All such outstanding
bids and proposals, and all unperformed Installation Contracts referred to in
Section 2.6(d), are in customary quantities, at customary prices and on
customary terms, based upon the past marketing policies with respect to such
products, and, to the knowledge of the Principal Stockholders, there are no
such material orders or commitments which will not, upon fulfillment in
accordance with their terms, result in a profit to AES based upon its recent
experience and operations.

     (f) Except as set forth in Item 2.6(f) of the Disclosure Schedule, the
inventories reflected on the Interim Balance Sheet and on the books of AES
consist of items in good and merchantable condition and which were acquired in
the ordinary course of business of AES.  The inventories reflected on the
Interim Balance Sheet or such books of AES are valued at the lower of cost
(under the first-in, first-out method) or market, determined in a manner
consistent with prior periods.  The level of inventories currently owned by AES
is not excessive, and is adequate, in relation to the current requirements of
AES.

     (g) The net worth of AES (i.e., total assets minus total liabilities) as
of the Closing Date shall be not less than $1,075,000.  To the extent that the
foregoing representation proves incorrect, Sensormatic shall be entitled to a
dollar-for-dollar reimbursement pursuant to Section 8 hereof of any deficiency,
payable promptly following the Closing, which reimbursement shall be made pro
rata by the Selling Stockholders on the basis of their respective Stockholder
Percentages.

     2.7 TITLE TO ASSETS.

     (a) Except as set forth in Item 2.7(a) of the Disclosure Schedule, AES has
good and marketable title to all its principal properties and assets, real and
personal, free and clear of all Liens, except:  (i) Liens to secure
indebtedness of AES reflected on the Interim Balance Sheet and listed in Item
2.7(a) of the Disclosure Schedule; (ii) Liens consisting of zoning or planning
restrictions, easements, permits and other restrictions or limitations on the
use of real property or irregularities in title thereto which do not materially





        
                                     -10-
<PAGE>   15
detract from the value of such property, or impair the use of such property by
AES in the operation of its business; (iii) Liens for taxes, assessments or
governmental charges or levies on its property listed in Item 2.7(a) of the
Disclosure Schedule, if such taxes, assessments or governmental charges or
levies shall not at the time be due and delinquent or if the same thereafter
can be paid without penalty or if AES shall currently be contesting the
validity thereof in good faith, provided the amount thereof is fully reserved
against on the Interim Balance Sheet; (iv) Liens consisting of (A) pledges or
deposits to secure obligations of AES under workmen's compensation or other
similar laws; (B) pledges or deposits to secure performance in connection with
bids, tenders, contracts or leases entered into in the ordinary course of
business to which AES is a party; (C) deposits to secure public or statutory
obligations of AES; (D) leases granted in the ordinary course of business or
property acquired in the ordinary course of business subject to leases or
purchase money security interests; or (E) mechanics', carriers', workmen's,

which do not interfere materially with possession, ownership or use of any real
or personal property of AES.

     (b) Set forth in Item 2.7(b) of the Disclosure Schedule is a list of all

amount of its inventory or work-in- process.  AES does not own any real
property.

     (c) All material leases pursuant to which AES leases real or personal
property from others are in good standing, valid and effective in accordance
with their respective terms.

     2.8 ORDINARY COURSE; NO MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT.  Except as set forth in
Item 2.8 of the Disclosure Schedule, since September 30, 1993, AES has
conducted the Business and maintained its assets substantially in the same
manner as previously conducted or maintained and solely in the ordinary course
and , since such date, (a) there has not been any material adverse change in
the business, financial condition or results of operations of AES or in Assets,
(b) AES has not sold, encumbered or committed to sell or encumber any of its
material assets or properties, other than the sale of inventory in the ordinary
course of business, or incurred or committed to incur any material amount of
additional indebtedness (other than under any existing bank facilities
described in the Financial Statement Notes) and (c) no dividends or





                                     -11-
<PAGE>   16
distributions have been declared or paid with respect to any of the Stock.

     2.9 PRODUCTS.

     (a) To the extent that any equipment or products sold or leased by AES are
required to meet applicable standards of the Federal Communications Commission
("FCC") or Underwriters Laboratories Inc. ("UL"), such equipment and products
meet such standards.  To the extent that any such equipment or products require
any FCC or UL approvals, registrations or certifications, such equipment and
products have received or are in the process of timely receiving such
approvals, registrations or certifications.

     (b) Except as set forth in Item 2.9(b) of the Disclosure Schedule, AES has
not received any notice of any outstanding or threatened liability or claim for
defects or breaches of warranty or negligence, existing or alleged, in
connection with the design, manufacture, sale, lease or use of any of the
products of, or any services performed by or on behalf of, AES.

     2.10  PERMITS; COMPLIANCE WITH LAW.

"Permits) as are material to the conduct of the Business, is in compliance in
all material respects with the terms of each thereof, has made all
notifications and applications to governmental authorities required under law
to continue its material manufacturing operations and has not received any
notice or claim pertaining to the failure to obtain any such Permit, except for
instances or notices of noncompliance which would not.  Except as set forth in
Item 2.10(a) of the Disclosure Schedule, no such Permits will terminate as of a
result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Except for
violations that, individually or in the aggregate, do not and are not likely to
have a Material Adverse Effect, AES's business has not been, and is not being,
conducted in violation of any law, ordinance, rule or regulation.

     (b) The structures and equipment, whether owned or leased, which are
currently used by AES conform to all applicable laws, orders, regulations,
ordinances or governmental or contractual requirements relating to their
construction, use and operation, except any such instances of noncompliance as

     2.11  TAXES.

     (a) AES has filed all federal, state, provincial, local and foreign
returns, notices, reports and computations which were required to be filed
prior to the date hereof in respect of all income, withholding, franchise,
payroll, excise, property, value- added, sales, use or other taxes, duties or
assessments (together with any related penalties, fines or interest, "Taxes"),
each such return and report is complete and accurate in all material respects,
and AES has paid or made provision in the Interim Balance Sheet or, since

Interim Balance Sheet.

     (b) The amount of all accrued and unpaid federal and state franchise and

and FASB 109 thereunder (which represents a change from APB 11, the method used
in preparing the March 31, 1993 Financial Statements), was not more than
$450,000 as of September 30, 1993.  In the event that the foregoing

     (b) The accrued obligations of AES under all AES Benefit Plans are

and other applicable laws.  All necessary government approvals for each AES
Benefit Plan have been or will be obtained on a timely basis.

     (d) A determination letter has been obtained with respect to the Profit
Sharing Plan (and a copy furnished to

transaction" (as defined in Section 406 of ERISA) resulting in liability of AES
has occurred; (iii) no breach of fiduciary responsibility under Part 4 of Title

plan" (as such term is defined in Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA).  AES has no
liability (contingent or otherwise) with respect to any terminated AES Benefit
Plan.  AES is not a member of and does not have any liability with respect to a
controlled group of corporations or a trade or business (whether or not
incorporated) under common control which, together with AES, is or was at any
time treated as a single employer under Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the
Code or Section 4001(b)(1) of ERISA.

Schedule, there is no claim, action, suit, proceeding, investigation or
criminal proceeding, at law or in equity, before any national, state or
provincial, local or other governmental authority, court, arbitration tribunal
or other forum (collectively, "Proceedings") pending or, to AES's knowledge,
threatened against AES which, if adversely determined, would, singly or in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect or would materially adversely affect
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or which

and made available to Sensormatic.

     (b) Except as set forth in the Environmental Reports or in Item 2.16 of
the Disclosure Schedule, neither AES nor, to the knowledge of AES, any other
person has ever caused or permitted any Hazardous Material (as hereinafter
defined) to be spilled, released, discharged or disposed of on, under or at the
Realty or any part thereof other than in the ordinary course of business and in
compliance with all laws (and rules and regulations thereunder), ordinances,
Permits, guidelines, orders and consent decrees of any applicable federal,
state, local or foreign government (or agency thereof) concerning the disposal,
release or threatened release of hazardous substances, public health and
safety, or pollution or protection of the environment (collectively,
"Environmental Laws").  The Realty has never been used by AES or, to the
knowledge of AES, by any other person as a dump site or storage site (whether
permanent or temporary) for any Hazardous Material, except for temporary
storage of Hazardous Material used or generated in the ordinary course of
business and generated, used, stored and disposed of in accordance with all
applicable Environmental Laws.  For all purposes of this





        
                                     -17-
<PAGE>   22
Agreement, "Hazardous Material" shall mean any pollutants, contaminants,
chemicals, or industrial toxic or hazardous substance or material defined as
such in (or for purposes of) the Environmental Laws, including, without
limitation, any waste constituents coming within the definition or list of
hazardous substances in 40 C.F.R. Section  261.1 through 261.33.

     (c) Except as set forth in Item 2.16 of the Disclosure Schedule, neither
AES nor, to the knowledge of AES and the Principal Stockholders, any other
person has ever caused or permitted any Hazardous Material to be placed, held,
handled or located on, under or at the Realty or any part thereof other than in
the ordinary course of business and in compliance with all Environmental Laws.

     (d) Except as set forth in the Environmental Reports, the Realty does not
have any environmentally sensitive areas (such as wetlands, floodplains and
stream corridors) that restrict the current or contemplated uses of the Realty.

     (e) Except as set forth in the Environmental Reports furnished to
Sensormatic and in Item 2.16 of the Disclosure Schedule, AES has not received
any complaint, order, citation or other notice from any governmental authority
(including, without limitation, the Environmental Protection Agency) of any
misuse, spill, discharge or other release of any Hazardous Material by AES or
affecting the Realty, or any violation or alleged violation of any
Environmental Law by AES.

     2.17  SUPPLIERS AND CUSTOMERS.  Set forth in Item 2.17 of the Disclosure
Schedule is a list of all suppliers (including assemblers or manufacturers of
component or finished products) and customers accounting for 5% or more of
AES's annual purchases and sales, respectively.  AES has adequate sources of
supply for all products or the components thereof.  The relationship of AES
with such suppliers and customers is good and there has been no expression of
any intention to terminate or materially modify any of such relationships.

     2.18  INSURANCE.  All of the insurable assets of AES are adequately
insured for AES's benefit against loss or damage by theft, fire and all other
hazards and risks of a character usually insured against by persons operating
similar properties in the localities where such properties are located, under
valid and enforceable policies issued by insurance carriers of substantial
assets and recognized responsibility in amounts sufficient to prevent the
insured from becoming a co-insurer within the terms of such policies.  All such
policies of insurance are in full force and effect on





        
                                     -18-
<PAGE>   23
the date hereof in accordance with their terms, and neither AES nor Stockholder
has received notice of termination of any such policies.

     2.19  BANK ACCOUNTS, ETC.  AES has heretofore furnished Sensormatic with a
true, correct and complete list of (a) all accounts and credit arrangements
maintained by AES, and all persons authorized to sign or act on behalf of
seller with respect thereto, and all safe deposit boxes and other similar
custodial arrangements and (b) the names of all persons holding powers of
attorney from AES or otherwise authorized to act on behalf of AES with respect
to any matters and a summary of the terms thereof.

     2.20  SENSORMATIC COMMON STOCK NOT REGISTERED.  The Selling Stockholders
receiving Sensormatic Common Stock recognize and agree that such stock has not
been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities or
"blue sky" laws, and that such stock may not be resold absent such
registration, or pursuant to an opinion of counsel acceptable to counsel for
Sensormatic to the effect that such resale would be permitted pursuant to an
exemption from registration.  If the Registration Statement has not become
effective as of or prior to the Closing, the foregoing limitation shall be
reflected in a legend on the certificates representing the Closing Date Shares
until such time as the Registration Statement becomes effective.

     2.21  MISCELLANEOUS.  All representations and warranties of AES and the
Selling Stockholders set forth in this Agreement and all information set forth
by AES and the Selling Stockholders in the Disclosure Schedule or any schedules
or exhibits hereto or thereto, were, as of the date of which they were made or
given, true and complete in all material respects and no such representation,
warranty or information contains or contained any untrue statement of a
material fact or, to the knowledge of the Principal Stockholders, omits or
omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make such
representation or warranty, in light of the circumstances under which it is or
was made, not false or misleading.  Any disclosure made pursuant to any of the
representations in this Section 2 shall be deemed to have been made for
purposes of any other such representations.

     2.22  INFORMATION SUPPLIED.  In the event that the Registration Statement
is filed by Sensormatic pursuant to Section 1.4, none of the information to be
supplied by or on behalf of AES or any Selling Stockholder for inclusion or
incorporation by reference in the Registration Statement, including any
amendments or supplements thereto, shall, at the time the Registration
Statement becomes effective under the

Securities Act, or, in the case of any subsequent amendment or supplement
thereto, the date thereof, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading.

operate its properties and to carry on its businesses in the places and in the
manner currently conducted.  Sensormatic is qualified to do business and is in
good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the nature
of the activities conducted by it or the character of the properties owned or

would have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or
results of operations of Sensormatic and its subsidiaries, considered as a
whole.

     3.2 AUTHORITY; DUE AUTHORIZATION; VALID OBLIGATION. Sensormatic has all
requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement
and the Ancillary Agreements and to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby.  Subject to Section 5.9, Sensormatic has taken all
corporate action necessary for the execution and delivery by it of this
Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and for the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and this Agreement constitutes
the valid and binding obligations of Sensormatic, enforceable against
Sensormatic in accordance with their respective terms, except as may be limited
by principles of equity or by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights
generally.

     3.3 NO CONFLICTS OR DEFAULTS.  The execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements by Sensormatic and the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and shall not (a)
contravene the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of Sensormatic or (b)
with or without the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, (i)
violate or conflict with, or result in a breach of, or a default or loss of
rights under, any material agreement, mortgage, indenture, lease, instrument,
permit or license to which Sensormatic is a party or by which either of





        
                                     -20-
<PAGE>   25
it or any material portion its assets are bound, or any judgment, order,
decree, law, rule or regulation to which it or any material portion of its
assets are subject, (ii) result in the creation of, or give any party the right
to create, any Lien upon any material portion of its assets, or (iii) terminate
or give any party the right to terminate, abandon or refuse to perform any
agreement, arrangement or commitment to which Sensormatic is a party or by
which it or any material portion of its assets is bound, except any such
violation conflict, breach, default, loss of rights, Lien, termination or
failure of performance referred to in this clause (b) as will not, singly or in
the aggregate, materially adversely affect the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

     3.4 AUTHORIZATIONS.  No authorization, approval, order, license, permit or
consent of, or filing or registration with, any court or governmental
authority, or consent of any other party (other than the Registration
Statement) is required in connection with the execution, delivery and
performance by Sensormatic or Sensormatic of this Agreement, except for such
authorizations, approvals, licenses, permits, consents, filings or
registrations as are obtained by the Closing Date or which, if not obtained or
made, the failure to obtain or make would not materially adversely affect the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

     3.5 LITIGATION.  There are no Proceedings pending against Sensormatic, and
Sensormatic has not received notice of any threatened Proceedings, which, if
adversely determined, would, singly or in the aggregate, materially adversely
affect consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the
Ancillary Agreements, or which challenges the validity or propriety of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements.

     3.6 INVESTMENT INTENTION.  Sensormatic is acquiring the Stock for
investment purposes only, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection
with, any offering or distribution thereof.  Sensormatic recognizes and agrees
that the Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable
state securities or "blue sky" laws, and that the Stock may not be resold
absent such registration or pursuant to an exemption therefrom.  If requested
by the Selling Stockholders, the foregoing restriction will be reflected in a
legend on the certificates representing the Stock delivered at Closing.

     3.7 REGISTRATION STATEMENT; COMMON STOCK.  The information included or
       incorporated by reference in the





        
                                     -21-

Registration Statement shall, at the time the Registration Statement becomes

or the Selling Stockholders for inclusion therein.  Any Sensormatic Common
Stock issued pursuant to Section 1.4 will have been duly authorized and validly
issued, will be fully paid and non-assessable and will not be issued in
violation of any preemptive rights.

     3.8 MISCELLANEOUS.  All representations and warranties of Sensormatic set
forth in this Agreement and all information set forth by Sensormatic in any
schedules or exhibits hereto or thereto were, as of the date on which they were
made or given, true and complete in all material respects and no such
representation, warranty or information contains or contained any untrue
statement of a material fact or, to Sensormatic's knowledge, omits or omitted
any material fact necessary in order to make such representation or warranty,
in light of the circumstances under which it is made, not false or misleading.
Any disclosure made pursuant to any of the representations in this Section 3
shall be deemed to have been made for purposes of any other such
representations.

     4.  PRE-CLOSING AGREEMENTS.

split or reclassification of its capital stock, or a recapitalization, (vi)
amend its Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws, (vii) make or grant any wage

with any party, (viii) enter into any material transaction, contract or
commitment other than in the ordinary course of business, (ix) incur or commit
to incur a material amount of additional indebtedness (other than under any

any material properties or assets.  AES shall use its best efforts to maintain
in full force and effect insurance policies providing coverage and amounts of
coverage comparable to the coverage and amounts of coverage provided under the
policies of insurance now in effect for AES.

     4.2 PRESERVE ACCURACY OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; UPDATES.  Between
the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, each of AES, the Selling
Stockholders and Sensormatic shall refrain from taking, without the prior
written consent in each instance of Sensormatic or the Selling Stockholder
Representative, as applicable, any action which would render any of the
representations or warranties set forth in Sections 2 or 3 inaccurate in any
material respect as of the Closing Date, and shall notify the other promptly of
the occurrence of any matter, event or change in circumstances known to it
after the date hereof that would have been required to be disclosed by it
hereunder if it had occurred on or prior to the date hereof.  Between the date
of this Agreement and the Closing Date, AES shall supply to Sensormatic or its
representatives, on a monthly basis, copies of all internally generated sales
reports and financial statements, and such additional financial and business
information as may be required by this Agreement or as they may otherwise
reasonably request, which shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the
manner in which they are now prepared.

     4.3 FURTHER INVESTIGATION.  Between the date of this Agreement and the
Closing Date, AES shall (and the Selling Stockholders shall cause AES to) give
to Sensormatic and its representatives full access during normal business
hours, on reasonable prior notice, to all of its premises, files, books,
records and employees and shall cause their officers, employees and
representatives to furnish such financial and operating data and other
information with respect to their respective businesses as any of the other
parties shall from time to time request; provided, however, that any such
investigation shall be conducted in such manner as not to interfere
unreasonably with the operation of AES's business.





        
                                    -23-
<PAGE>   28
No such investigation shall impair or affect any representation or warranty, or
any right to indemnification, under this Agreement.  If the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated, each of the parties shall
return all confidential information and copies and derivations thereof to the
party from which it originated.

     4.4 CONSENTS, WAIVERS AND FILINGS.  Upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in this Agreement, AES, the Selling Stockholders and

with the other parties in doing, all things, reasonably necessary or desirable
to consummate in an expeditious manner the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.  Without limiting the foregoing, the parties shall cooperate to
obtain from all relevant third parties and governmental authorities all
consents and waivers to, and permits, authorizations and licenses for, the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement that may be required under any
agreement, lease, financing arrangement, license, Permit or other instrument or

appropriate registrations and transfers of Intellectual Property.  Further in
that connection, the parties note that the various agreements and schedules
(including the Disclosure Schedule) contemplated by this Agreement have not
been prepared or completed as of the date hereof, and agree to supply promptly
and fully all schedules and other information contemplated by this Agreement to
be supplied by them and not supplied as of the date hereof.

     4.5 NO SOLICITATION.  Neither AES nor any Selling Stockholder shall,
directly or through any other party, negotiate or conclude an agreement with
any other party for a merger, or sale of the securities, of AES or for the sale
or other disposition of the business or assets of AES (other than the sale of
inventory in the ordinary course of business), or enter into any discussions
with any other party for such purposes or knowingly take any other action that
might materially prejudice the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby, unless and until this Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing in
accordance with Section 9.1.

     4.6 AES BENEFIT PLANS.  AES shall cooperate with if Sensormatic reasonably
requests any termination, transfers or other actions reasonably requested by
Sensormatic with respect to the AES Benefit Plans.

limitations set forth in Section 8.5.  The Stockholder Representative shall
give Sensormatic prompt notice of any claim, action, suit or proceeding which
they believe might give rise to indemnification under this Section 8.5.
Sensormatic shall have the right to participate in, and, with the consent of
Stockholder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, to control, the
defense against any such claim, action, suit or proceeding, at its expense, and
with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to Stockholder.  No
settlement or compromise of any such claim, action, suit or proceeding shall be
made without the prior consent of Sensormatic and the Stockholder
Representative (on behalf of himself or herself and the Selling Stockholder),
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by either of them.

     8.4 RELATED COSTS AND EXPENSES.  Each indemnifying party hereto shall, in
addition to such indemnifying party's obligations under Section 8.1 or 8.3, as
applicable, indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified party hereto from,
against and in respect of any and all actions, suits, proceedings, demands,
assessments, judgments, settlements, costs (including reasonable attorneys'
fees and disbursements) and legal and other expenses of the indemnified party
incident to any matter as to which the indemnified party is entitled to
indemnification under such Sections, or incident to any allegations or claims
which, if true, would give rise to Damages subject to indemnification
thereunder, or incident to the enforcement by the indemnified party of this
Section 8.

     8.5 LIMITATIONS ON INDEMNIFICATION.  No payment shall be required to be
made by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to Section 8.1 or by Sensormatic
pursuant to Section 8.3 unless the amount of damages suffered by the party
claiming indemnification in connection with such claim, together with all
claims asserted therewith or previously asserted under this Section 8 by any of
them, in the aggregate exceeds $30,000 in the aggregate; provided, however,
that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to the obligations of the parties
under Sections 1 or 9.7 or under the Non-Competition and Assignment Agreement,
or to the representations of the Selling Stockholders (or any related
indemnification) under Sections 2.6(g) (net worth) or 2.11(b) (accrued taxes).
No right to indemnification may be asserted under this Section 8 after the
second anniversary of the Closing Date, except any such rights to
indemnification (i) arising under or in connection with any matter referred to
in Sections 2.11, 2.12, or 2.16, none of which shall be subject to any time
limitation other than any statutes of limitation applicable to such





        
                                    -30-
<PAGE>   35
matters, (ii) arising pursuant to Section 9.7, or (iii) arising out of or in
connection with any claim as to which the notice required by Section 8.2 or
8.3, as applicable, has been given on or prior to the second anniversary of the
Closing Date. In no event shall the amount payable by the Selling Stockholders
collectively pursuant to this Section 8 exceed the total amount received by the
Selling Stockholders collectively pursuant to this Agreement and/or the
Ancillary Agreements.

     8.6 RIGHT OF OFFSET.  Without limiting any other rights or remedies of
Sensormatic with respect to any amount owed to it by any Selling Stockholder
pursuant to this Section 8, Sensormatic shall have the right to set off such
amount against any amount owed by Sensormatic or AES to such Selling
Stockholder, however arising, including without limitation any wages or other
amounts that may be owed to the applicable Selling Stockholders by Sensormatic
or AES in connection with such individuals' employment.

     9.  MISCELLANEOUS.

     9.1 TERMINATION.  This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to
the Closing Date (a) by mutual written consent of the Selling Stockholder
Representative and Sensormatic; (b) by either the Selling Stockholder
Representative or Sensormatic, by written notice to the other, if the Closing
shall not have occurred on or before February 15, 1994 (other than by mutual
agreement of the parties or by reason of the default of the party seeking to

by up to an additional 60 days at the option of either Sensormatic or the
Selling Stockholder Representative if required to obtain any of the consents

            Re:  Registration Statement on Form S-3
                 ----------------------------------

    Gentlemen:

            We have acted as general counsel to Sensormatic Electronics
    Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Corporation"), in connection with
    the preparation of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration
    Statement") being filed under the Securities Act of 1933 for the 
    registration by the Corporation of up to 90,000 shares of the Corporation's
    Common Stock issued or to be issued to certain of the stockholders of 
    Advanced Entry Systems, Inc. ("AES") pursuant to the Stock Purchase 
    Agreement (the "Agreement") dated as of December 31, 1993 among the 
    Corporation, AES and its stockholders (the "Shares").

            As general counsel of the Corporation, we have examined and are
    familiar with the Registration Statement, the Agreement, the Corporation's
    Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws, the proceedings of its
    stockholders, Board of Directors and committees thereof, and such 
    certificates of public officials and such other corporate records and other
    documents as we have deemed necessary in rendering this opinion.
        
            Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

            1.  The Corporation is duly incorporated, validly existing and in 
    good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

                2.  The Shares have been duly authorized, and, as and when
    issued pursuant to the Agreement, are or will be validly issued, fully paid
    and nonassessable.

                We consent to being named in the Registration Statement as
    attorneys who have passed on legal matters in connection with the Shares
    and we consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5 to the
    Registration Statement.
