  We present a technique for squeezed light detection based on direct imaging
of the displaced-squeezed-vacuum state using a CCD camera. We show that the
squeezing parameter can be accurately estimated using only the first two
moments of the recorded pixel-to-pixel photon fluctuation statistics, with
accuracy that rivals that of the standard squeezing detection methods such as a
balanced homodyne detection. Finally, we numerically simulate the camera
operation, reproducing the noisy experimental results with low signal samplings
and confirming the theory with high signal samplings.
