My Obihai200 does not work with my security alarm

I have a bosch security system and in a room has all the coaxial and network cables. That room however, has two phone lines coming down. One that has green and red alternating and one that is black and white alternating. The security alarm itself goes off 2 to 3 times per day at random hours. I am not sure what to do in this case...

You clearly do not have the system wired up correctly.  If you don't understand how to properly connect a telephone line to a security panel, then pay an alarm installer to do it for you. 

Aside from that, you should know that, if you try to use an OBiTALK device as the "phone line" for a security alarm, it will be unusable as a regular Google Voice phone number, and it is not reliable enough to risk your safety.  Alarm companies have now standardized on either a 4G wireless communicator, or an IP connection to the monitoring center, or both (one as backup).
