A trap and trace device records what type of information?

A trap and trace device is specifically designed to record information about the source of incoming connections to a particular telecommunication line. This means it captures data such as the phone numbers calling into a designated line without intercepting the content of those calls. The primary purpose of trap and trace devices is to facilitate law enforcement operations by identifying the origins of incoming communications, which can be crucial in investigations.

The other options refer to information that a trap and trace device does not capture: the source of outgoing connections is not monitored; call logs typically detail the history of calls made or received but can include various types of calls rather than just incoming sources; and text message history is unrelated to the functionalities of a trap and trace, as it focuses solely on call data rather than text or multimedia communications.
