Hi can someone help me if possible, i have a 22z camers from mace and a 16way mace dvd, what i want to do is setup the camera so i can zoom in and out using the dvr as the controllor, is this possible, it comes with some connectors, but i'm not sure how this works if at all.

I worked at MACE for almost 4 years. It is 100% not possible to control that camera through any of Mace's DVRs. Sorry... It is a great camera and should give you good results in any environment but we tried to get that control to work for sooo long with no luck. Your only choice would be to get the optional controler. I beleive they still stock the control w/ 100ft cable. But, you must have the newer 22z that has the newest board for the controller connection.

ya that one or the 16x

can some one tell me where the 22z should go indoor / outdoor / lane way or what.

what do you mean where it should go? What are you trying to cover? I have used some 16x's before outside. They work pretty good.
