                 SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED JANUARY 18, 1994
PROSPECTUS


SENSORMATIC ELECTRONICS CORPORATION

                        4,500,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

         This Prospectus relates to 4,500,000 shares (the "Shares") of the
Common Stock of Sensormatic Electronics Corporation (the "Company") which may
be offered and issued by the Company from time to time in connection with the
acquisition by the Company, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries of the
Company, of various businesses or assets, or interests therein.  Such Shares
may be issued in exchange for shares of capital stock, partnership interests or
other assets representing an interest, direct or indirect, in other companies
or other entities, or in exchange for tangible or intangible assets, including
assets constituting all or substantially all of the assets and businesses of
such entities.

         It is expected that the terms of acquisitions involving the issuance
of Shares covered by this Prospectus will be determined by direct negotiations
with the owners or controlling persons of the businesses or assets to be
acquired, and that the Shares so issued will be valued at prices based on
market prices on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. ("NYSE") at or about the
time the terms of an acquisition are agreed upon or at or about the time of
delivery of such Shares, or based on average market prices for periods ending
at or about such times.  In the case of entities which are more widely held,
Shares may also be issued through exchange offers to stockholders or documents
soliciting the approval of statutory mergers, consolidations or sales of
assets.  No underwriting discounts or commissions will be paid, although
brokers' or finders' fees may be paid from time to time with respect to
specific acquisitions; under some circumstances, the Company may issue Shares
covered by this Prospectus in full or partial payment of such fees. Any person
receiving any such fees may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act").

         With the consent of the Company, this Prospectus may also be used by
persons ("Selling Stockholders") who have received or will receive from the
Shares covered by this Prospectus in connection with acquisitions and who may
wish to sell such Shares under circumstances requiring or making desirable its
use.  The Company's consent to such use may be conditioned upon such persons'
agreeing not to offer more than a specified number of Shares following
amendments to this Prospectus, which the Company may agree to use its best
efforts to prepare and file at certain intervals.  The Company may require that
any such offering be effected in orderly fashion through securities dealers.
In certain instances, the Company may guaranty that the aggregate net proceeds
of sale of Shares sold by Selling Stockholders during a limited period
following their issuance will not be less than the valuation used for purposes
of their issuance, and may make up any shortfall (including any shortfall
attributable to brokers' commissions and selling expenses) by issuing
additional Shares under this Prospectus or in cash.

         Sales by Selling Stockholders pursuant to this Prospectus may be made
from time to time in one or more transactions on the NYSE or otherwise.
Selling Stockholders may effect such transactions by selling Shares to or
through broker-dealers, and such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the
form of underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from Selling
Shareholders and/or purchasers of Shares for whom they may act as agent (which
compensation may be in excess of customary commissions).  Selling Shareholders
and broker-dealers that participate with Selling Stockholders in the
distribution of Shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of
Section 2(11) of the Act, and any commissions received by them and any profit
on the resale of Shares may be deemed to be underwriting compensation; however,
the sale by Selling Stockholders of Shares pursuant to this Prospectus shall
not be deemed an admission that they or such broker-dealers are underwriters
under the Act with respect to any such Shares.  The Company may agree to
indemnify Selling Stockholders and/or broker-dealers against certain civil
liabilities, including liabilities under the Act, and to reimburse them for
certain expenses in connection with the offering and sale of Shares.

         Selling Stockholders may also offer shares of stock issued in past and
future acquisitions by means of prospectuses under other available registration
statements or pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the
Act, including sales which meet the requirements of Rule 145(d) under the Act,
and stockholders should seek the advice of their own counsel with respect to
the legal requirements for such sales.

         The shares of Common Stock offered hereby will, prior to their
issuance, be listed on the NYSE subject to official notice of issuance.  The
last reported sale price of the Company's Common Stock of the NYSE on January

                                  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 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.





<PAGE>   10

         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, 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 strategic
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





                                      -2-
<PAGE>   11

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 Ultra-Max 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 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.

historical balance sheet at September 30, 1993, incorporated herein by

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.

         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.
                                     -5-
<PAGE>   14


                 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

                 This Prospectus relates to Shares of Common Stock of the
Company which may be offered and issued by the Company from time to time in the
acquisition of other businesses or assets, or interests therein.  Other than
the businesses or assets acquired, there will be no proceeds to the Company
from these offerings, nor will the Company receive any proceeds from any
resales of Shares by Selling Stockholders.  In instances where the Company
agrees to guaranty that the aggregate net proceeds from sales of Shares sold by
Selling Stockholders will not be less than the valuation used for the issuance
of such Shares, the Company may be required to issue additional Shares under
this Prospectus or to make a cash payment to make up any shortfall (including
any shortfall attributable to brokers' commissions and selling expenses).

                            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
Certain Documents by Reference".  See also "Unaudited Condensed Pro Forma
Combined Information -- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Condensed Pro

                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:

             (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.

                 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.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS


ITEM 20.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

           Article TENTH of the Registrant's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation and Article IX of the Registrant's By-Laws provide for
indemnification of officers and directors of the Registrant, 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 Registrant.  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 the fullest extent consistent with
applicable law.  The By-Laws provide that the right to indemnification is a
contract right and authorize the Registrant 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 Registrant,
express powers to indemnify its directors and officers.

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

ITEM 22.  UNDERTAKINGS.

    (1)      The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

             (a)     To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement:

             (i)     To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of
                     the Securities Act of 1933;

             (ii)    To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
                     after the effective date of the registration statement (or
                     the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
                     individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
                     change in the information set forth in the registration
                     statement; and

             (iii)   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 purpose 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 undersigned Registrant 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 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each
filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to 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)      The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to
deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom
the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report, to security holders
that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to
and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or 14c-3 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial information required to be
presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X is not set forth in the prospectus, to
deliver or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent
or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by
reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.

                     (4)      (a)     The undersigned Registrant hereby
undertakes as follows:  that prior to any public reoffering of the securities
registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which





        
                                      II-3
<PAGE>   32
is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed
to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes
that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the
applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be
deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other
items of the applicable form.

                              (b)     The Registrant undertakes that every
prospectus (i) that is filed pursuant to paragraph (4)(a) immediately
preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3)
of the Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to
Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement
and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for 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.

                     (5)      Insofar as indemnification for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant 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 Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the Registrant 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
Registrant 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.

                     (6)      The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(i) to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference
into the prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this form, within
one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated
documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means; and (ii) to
arrange or provide for a facility in the U.S. for the purpose of responding to
such requests.  This includes information contained in documents filed
subsequent to the effective date of the Registration Statement through the date
of responding to the request.

                     (7)      The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to
supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a
transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the
subject of and included in the Registration Statement when it became effective,
except where the transaction in which the securities being offered pursuant
to the Registration Statement would itself qualify for an exemption from
Section 5 of the Securities Act, absent the existence of other similar (prior
or subsequent) transactions.

                    Re:  Registration Statement on Form S-4
                         ----------------------------------

          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-4 (the "Registration Statement") being filed under the Securities
          Act of 1933, as  amended (the "Securities Act") for the registration
          by the Corporation of up to 4,500,000 shares of the Corporation's
          Common Stock (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, and assuming (for purposes of the
          opinion set forth in paragraph 2, below) that the applicable
          provisions of the Securities Act and the securities of "blue sky"
          laws of various states shall have been complied with, 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 will be validly
    issued, fully paid and nonassessable as and when (i) the Corporation's
    Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof shall have
    adopted resolutions authorizing the issuance and sale of the Shares and
    determined the consideration to be received in exchange for the Shares in 
    transactions as contemplated by the Registration Statement; and (ii) the
    Shares shall have been duly issued and delivered to the purchasers thereof
    against payment or delivery of the consideration therefor as contemplated 
    by such resolutions.

                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.

                                           Very truly yours,
