Also he gave me some warning the county sent out about 911 and saftey. How there is some saftey and liability issues with using VOIP in the case of an emergency and inability to access emergency 911 access.

Shit im so confused
Vonage has worked out 911 in the US. For your security system get a basic phone line from the local phone company for $10-15 or whatever they charge and just use it for emergencies if VOIP is down and your security system. You should still save money. Oh, and if you have DSL you could still keep it with that basic line or switch to a cable internet access.
