Sensormatic, currently known as Tyco Fire & Security, is in the business of the manufacture and sale of electronic article surveillance equipment. Sensormatic Electronics Corporation was purchased by Tyco International Ltd. in 2001. The acquisition was executed by a merger of Sensormatic with a subsidiary of Tyco. Sensormatic is frequently called by the name of its parent company ADT, formerly ADT/Tyco. They manufacture acusto-magnetic (AM) electronic article surveillance systems.

The Sensormatic Supertag is a widely used hard loss prevention tag. The Supertag took over for the Sensormatic Ultragator tag. Ultragator is the tan Ultra Max tag that can be found in many retail stores. Ultragator tags were improved upon during the design of the Supertag.

Sensormatic specializes in the area of sourcetagging. A sourcetag is a security tag or label applied during the manufacturing process. Many international retail chains are embracing sourcetagging. Recently Sensormatic introduced disposable hard source tags at a few of the larger retail chains.

Their main competitor checkpoint systems also lobby manufactures to use their sourcetags that work for radio-frequency systems. Therefore most manufacturers use both when source tagging.

-Their main competitor checkpoint systems also lobby manufactures to use their sourcetags that work for radio-frequency systems. Therefore most manufacturers use both when source tagging. One significant problem from this practice is something called "tag pollution" whereupon non-deactivated tags are carried around by customers causing unwanted alarms. The problem is that no store has both systems. Therefore if a store actually has an anti-shoplifting system to deactivate the sourcetag they will only deactivate on of the two. This is often the reason why people make an alarm entering a store and can cause great frustration for both customes and staff. The problem is most evident in shopping malls where customers float between stores. Retailers who use other types of loss-prevention systems than AM or 8.2MHz Radio Frequency systems will not be as affected by "tag pollution".
