This is not recommended because standard security systems aren't natively compatible with voip.  We strongly suggest you keep a basic landline service for use by your security system, or contact a company such as Alarm.com to upgrade your existing system.

The home security industry is rapidly evolving to accommodate new technology, like voip, but until voip is fully supported, we cannot endorse the use of a home security system on a voip line.

voip.com does have instructions on how to modify your current system, but this should only be done by a qualified individual. Should you choose to implement a security system on your voip.com phone line, you assume all risk of loss if the system fails to perform at any time.

Yes, each voip.com residential phone adapter is capable of providing up to two (2) separate phone lines. Calls from your second, additional line will be separated and included in your monthly bill. Additionally, the service plan you choose for your second line is completely independent of your primary line. This means that you can choose the most appropriate plan for your needs and your budget. With plans starting at just 9.95 per month, a second line can be a very affordable addition. If...

Although some fax machines may be compatible with their adapter, voip.com cannot guarantee that you'll find the fax performance satisfactory. The newer model all-in-one machines seem to work with some modifications made to them. And don't worry, voip.com customer service would be able to help you with that.
