Abstract
The present invention is provided with the goal of being able to scan scanning light along a plurality of planes surrounding an object of interest for crime prevention while reducing the labor of installing a sensor as well as minimizing the costs thereof. The scan sensor of the present invention includes a sensor unit that includes a light source and a scanning mechanism that scans light emitted from the light source along a predetermined plane, and an optical system that converts first scanning light that is scanned along the predetermined plane into second scanning light, which is scanned along three planes that are different from the predetermined plane and are orthogonal to each other, the optical system including reflective surfaces each of which corresponds to one of the three planes.
