I require alarm systems for both personal and house.

From seeing various alarm projects, there is no detail about how the
alarm is set off.

For example, a house alarm could be triggered by opening a door.

But the diy circuit notes merely say that power supply will trigger
the alarm on.

There should be a special kind of switch that will sense motion, or
breakage of a (window) latch, etc.

Could anyone please explain.

See:

When switch is open, LED illuminates.
When switch is closed, LED turns off.

Be sure to choose resistor to match your
desired voltage (e.g. for red LED with 5
volts use 330 ohms).

LED indicator could be replaced or supplemented
with e.g. a buzzer.
