                                  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") and
electronic asset protection ("EAP") systems (including the reusable tags and
disposable labels used with such systems), closed circuit television ("CCTV")
systems (including microprocessor-controlled CCTV systems and exception
monitoring systems), and access control systems.  These loss prevention systems
are principally used 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 commercial and industrial 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 the broad base
of technology it has developed or acquired.

         The Company's initial EAS systems were designed for use by department
and specialty store retailers to protect soft goods (apparel merchandise).  As
a result of its sales and marketing expertise and the technological advantages
of its products, the Company gained and has maintained the position of world
leader in supplying EAS products for soft goods retailers.  For nearly the past
decade the Company has implemented a strategy of product, customer and
geographic market diversification to substantially increase its growth
potential.  Through the combination of substantial expenditures in research,
development and engineering activities and selected strategic acquisitions, the
Company now offers, both retailers and non-retail users, a broad array of
products based on a number of distinct EAS technologies, as well as CCTV,
exception monitoring and access control systems.

         The Company's newer EAS product lines have been developed and targeted
for specific hard goods retail applications 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 potential user group than soft goods
retailers and have only begun to use EAS products significantly during the last
few years.  Further, hard goods retailers primarily use EAS 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 been increasing its efforts to increase future 
recurring label revenues through its Universal Product Protection (UPP(sm))
program where EAS labels (or tags) are incorporated into or affixed to the
merchandise to be protected during the process of manufacturing, packaging or
distribution rather than at the retail store (also referred to as source
labeling or source tagging).

         CCTV products are used to protect against 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 office
and manufacturing complexes, warehouses, gaming establishments (e.g., casinos)
and numerous other non-retail facilities.  Additionally, the Company's CamEra
divisions in the United Kingdom, France and the United States market packaged,
lower cost CCTV systems for retail and commercial businesses.

         The Company has greatly expanded its efforts in recent years to market
its products, particularly CCTV and access control products, to commercial,
industrial and other non-retail customer groups.  The growth of revenue from
commercial, industrial and other non-retail customers results from the strategy
of broadening the Company's customer base by adding new proprietary CCTV and
access control products and the establishment of new distribution channels.

         The Company is diversifying the geographic areas in which it markets
its products by expanding into new geographic areas and increasing its presence
in existing areas.  The Company has greatly expanded its direct sales and
service ("customer engineering") efforts in North America, Europe, and certain
Asia Pacific and Latin America countries in recent years through acquisitions
of other distribution organizations, including the merger with Knogo
Corporation referred to below (see "Merger with Knogo





                                      -3-
<PAGE>   5

Corporation" below under this heading), and of its own distributors in certain
of such countries.  The Company's international strategy also involves the use
of distribution agreements with local parties, with the Company maintaining a
51% ownership control in certain instances.  Currently the Company has 
51%-owned distributors in Brazil, Peru and Turkey and plans to expand its local
distributorship arrangements to China and certain countries in the Middle East,
Latin America, Africa and eastern Europe.

         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.

MERGER WITH KNOGO CORPORATION

         On December 29, 1994, the Company consummated a merger with Knogo
Corporation ("Knogo") pursuant to which the Company acquired all of Knogo's
business interests outside the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.  Knogo's
businesses in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico were spun off to its
shareholders immediately prior to the merger.  Knogo was engaged primarily in
the business of manufacturing, marketing and servicing EAS systems employing
radio frequency and magnetic technologies, as well as marketing CCTV systems.
The results of the acquired Knogo operations are included in the Company's
results for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 1995, as set forth in the
Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for such quarter (File Number 1-10739),
incorporated herein by reference.

                                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 will receive proceeds
upon the exercise, from time to time, of the Warrants underlying such Shares
(see below).  If all of such Warrants are exercised, the Company will receive
approximately $5,063,985.  Proceeds received by the Company will be used for
general corporate purposes, including working capital.  See "The Selling
Stockholder".


                            THE SELLING STOCKHOLDER

         The Selling Stockholder is Senvest Capital Inc., a Canadian
corporation formerly known as Sensormatic Canada Limited, whose address is 1140
de Maisonneuve Boulevard West, Suite 1180, Montreal, Quebec H3A 1M8, Canada.
Prior to 1991, the Selling Stockholder was in the business, among other things,
of marketing to retailers electronic article surveillance systems and security
systems, including products manufactured by the Company under a license
agreement with the Company.  In December 1990, the Company purchased
substantially all of the assets, including rights under the license agreement,
of the Selling Stockholder related to such business, and, in connection with
such transaction, the Company issued to the Selling Stockholder warrants (the
"Warrants") to purchase up to 1,200,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock
(as adjusted to give effect to the three-for-two stock split of the Company's
Common Stock in December 1993).  The Warrants are exercisable at any time and
from time to time through December 31, 1995.  The number of shares issuable
pursuant to the Warrants is subject to adjustment in the event of a stock
dividend, stock split, combination, reclassification or similar event.  All
numbers of shares of Common Stock and earnings per share and related financial
information appearing in this Prospectus give effect to the stock split
referred to above and the resulting adjustment under the Warrants.

         As of the date of this Prospectus, the Selling Stockholder owned
beneficially 498,300 shares of the Company's Common Stock, of which 450,000
shares are issuable on exercise of the Warrants, 10,000 shares were previously
issued pursuant to the Warrants and 38,300 were purchased in the open market.
As of the date of this Prospectus, the Selling Stockholder had exercised
Warrants to purchase a total of 750,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock,
including the above-mentioned 10,000 shares.  At such time as the Shares
covered by this Prospectus are sold by the Selling Stockholder, the Selling
Stockholder will hold only such shares as it may have purchased in the open
market from time to time.





                                      -4-
<PAGE>   6

         The Selling Stockholder currently markets certain of the Company's
products to industrial customers in Canada pursuant to a license agreement with
the Company.  In addition, Ronald G. Assaf, President, CEO and Chairman of the
Board of Directors of the Company, has been a member of the Board of Directors
of the Selling Stockholder since 1972.


                             PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

         The Selling Stockholder expects 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 Stockholder has no, and does not expect to enter
any, agreement, arrangement or understanding with any Broker as to the sale of
the Shares.

         The Selling Stockholder 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
Stockholder or the Brokers may be deemed to be underwriting commissions.
Brokers' commissions and dealers' discounts, taxes and other selling expenses
to be borne by the Selling Stockholder are not expected to exceed normal
selling expenses for sales over the NYSE or otherwise, as the case may be.

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

ITEM 15.  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.

covering losses up to $30,000,000 (subject to certain deductible amounts).

ITEM 17.  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: 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)     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.

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 300,000 shares of the Corporation's Common Stock (the
"Shares") issuable on exercise of warrants owned by Senvest Capital Inc., a
Canadian Corporation.

         As general counsel of the Corporation, we have examined and are
familiar with the Registration Statement, 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, upon issuance pursuant to
the exercise of the aforementioned warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid
and nonassessable.
