I am looking for a good dehumidfier for the room
where I putting all the camera equipments.

Some of the cameras were already in the Dry cabinet
kept at 45% humidity. However the room is still full
of moisture and could find molds sometimes.

Any recommendations as to which one does its job
well. Budget around five hundred dollars.

For the room, use airconditioner.

I already have a room airconditioner but not working for
a couple of years and I don't want to replace it.
A dehumidfier is a more realistic solution as I can move
it around to other areas of the home.

if you already have a dry cab it's good enough

It all depends on the amount of stuff you have.
To sum it up you will be amused that I need at least five
to six units of 100 litres dry cabinet.

Dry cabinets are not just of lenses and camera bodies
alone as other vital items can be stored there. So keeping
the room dry sucking out all the moisture is a good solution.
This is perhaps a simple way.

Use Thirsty Hippo then. Get a reader to measure, but how many Thirsty Hippo you need and how often you need to change, I won't know. There are 400L cabinets available in the market also.

Those big cabinets occupied too much space and not so
easy to move about.

Now coming to affordable dehumidfier in the range of about
five hundred bucks, looks like the brands from Europace
and LG fit the bill. What are your views?

There are DHC cabinets with wheels, you can move the cabinets around. At the rate the dehumidifier works through 24/7 based on room size, probably you'll need a new one every year or so.

You may want to try one which has double the required coverage.
